Whow great price! I was at Orschelins today looking over their chicks just for fun. Nothing that even remotely resembled a Welsummer....boy was my husband relieved, although he had to physically drag me away from the Bantam chicks. There were 4 little silver devils that almost came home with us!

Yeah I only planned on getting 5 chicks to start my flock but over the past 3 days I've acquired 3 white Plymouth rocks 2 red rangers and 8 wellies and 2 ducks..

Kelly - here's your boy- as you can see winter got his comb pretty bad - not the best picture as I snapped it with the cell phone so his legs look washed out. they aren't super yellow, but better than they look here.

Only 1$ each but how can I tell the difference in gender?

Girls are chipmunk striped and have strong eye markings (like cleopatra eyeliner). Boy chipmunk stripes are fuzzy, and eyeliner is light or non existent.

Share pictures- we can help!

A good friend told me that she is buying free range eggs for 3 dollars a dozen. The local Amish store raised the price of their brown eggs from 1.75 a dozen to 1.90. There be gold in them thar eggs, pardners.

We pay $8 per dozen for pastured eggs out here in the land of gold... And around $4-6 for free range eggs in the store.

Luckily, we *paid* (past tense) - haven't had to buy eggs in some months!!

I know someone in Omaha that paid 6 dollars a dozen for eggs. She also said they had some other eggs in the store for $10 a dozen. I sell them for three dollars a dozen. People really go for those fresh eggs.
