Does anybody have an ebay and sells eggs cheap? I just got an ebay and am so excited

Chickens don't make you money as it is so why would you sell eggs CHEAP? If you have good birds you should not sell eggs cheap.

Timon was helping my wing band chickens today. (Wing banding is SO MUCH EASIER than leg bands...) His idea of helping was to sunbathe and then run away when the Silkies got too close to him. He is a useless farm cat, lol

Anyway. Guinea time! After we got our first egg a few days ago I have had nothing since then. LAY GUINEAS LAY. The pied, pearl grey and white all free range and the rest are in a huge enclosed area.


Pied and Pearl Grey.


White.


Coral Blue, I think? YES CORAL BLUE


Brown? Buff Dundotte? Chocolate in back? I don't have any that look quite like that


Lavender.


Brown? Buff Dundotte? I don't know what that is.... kinda looks buff and lavender


Coral Blue. Have you noticed the Coral Blues kinda look NEON next to the lavenders


Buff Dundotte. What unique colors you got!


I think the one in front is Porcelain or Lite Lavender. She came from Donna. I have one that is VERY LIGHT LIGHT Lavender I didn't know it had a name...... Porcelain..... I like that name. I haven't found ANY eggs yet. They are acting strange though so we should see some soon.

I agree... Sexing guinea is close to impossible. All I know is that I have some females. LOL

No idea how to sex little ones only when they're older

You can't sex guinea EVER! LOL I know I have more boys and girls from my first batch of guinea..... but I have no idea which are which.....

calls are the only way to sex them I think... but how has time to sit and watch and listen.... then tagging them some how.... have you ever tried to catch a guinea? Well I did the other day but got lucky and he was trapped. Free handed too.... not a scratch on me either LOL
