those Asian ladies are smart.

They always try to talk you down on price too...LOL I always tell them about $2-3 more than what I actually want, then they offer what I want for them & I say "deal" & they take the whole lot.

most of the bargaining is meant to be fun. i am glad you understand that and embrace cross culturalism. everybody wins - except the roo...

I can't say anything, I do it myself. I always offer a few dollars lower than what people are asking. If they really want to sell, they will. You just have to know how to "play the game"

That's ok though. I have chicks in 5 more brooder/cages in the basement for a total of around 150 +/- chicks 6 weeks or younger right now. Anyone need any chickies

wow and I thought having 30 chicks in the living room over the winter was a lot!

Luckily my fiance is a fellow chicken addict & my landlord doesn't have a problem with my birds. She is well aware they are in the house & even wrote them into the lease.

Kids, dogs, SO's...never know who was needing an outlet or bumped a cord.

As far as i can tell there was no harm done... I just transferred them to my new (previously used) GQF 1502 along with a batch of about
48 more new starters. I don't know what to do with this thing, I almost miss poring over the temperature dial and rearranging
the temp and RH sensors, trying to squirt water through those little holes... on the LG..LOL!!!
