The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[BlueBaby]

At Rural King, fancier breed chicks are about $6, but they are in the $10 range ordered from McMurray. What doesn’t make sense is $8 for mutts.

I agree.

I agree.

To be fair anything we cross that will lay a colored egg is a 'mutt'

 

[McChooky]

There is another Leghorn and another Leghorn game in there still but they aren’t doing anything. Going to leave them for another day. 75% hatch rate ain’t too shabby!

update?

There are other sources of protein besides meat. Eggs and legumes are exmples. Vegetarians typically live longer than meat-eaters.

Not having to build a coop will save $$

Until he ends up with a bunch of chicks he can't sell.

I agree.

I'd rather buy them locally than online even at $8 a chick. At least I'd get to see them before buying them plus I'd get to take them home

I don't want my chicks shipped in a box soon as they hatch. Guess I'm getting soft in my old age but I'd rather raise my own batch.

I prefer the hatching egg's, and bringing them into the world myself. Everyone has their own likes of doing thing's when it comes to chick's.

I never wanted to hatch my own artificially but I finally caved and made an incubator to hatch some recently . I've only had one hen go broody and hatch chicks and she abandoned the flock after her chicks were grown.Shes a house chicken now.
