There is a high demand for cochins around here.

poultry prices must be high in your area lol.
i'll prolly end up tellin her
$15 or $20
for the trio.
its more than we will get for them at the auction.
which is where they were gona end up . well the roosters anyway . i had planned on keeping all 3 hens.
but im sure we will have more accident babies this year.

wouldnt want to charge a whole lot.
you can order them from ideal for 3 sumthin a chick.
but then again most people dont exactly think about that . plus youd have to order quite a few.

Within a week I should have goslings, and my calls go in lockdown in a week! Hurray!

I went outside to make sure everyone made it in, and my bareback silkie is still in her nest. No eggs from her in 2 days either, pretty sure she's broody again. I wish it weren't so cold, or she'd stay broody being moved. I would love to slip some of the call eggs under her, and have less to brood.

So maybe now is the time to order some eggs?!?!?

I need to wait at least another few weeks. I don't have a broody pen to set up to move her to, and I don't want to leave her with eggs with the flock. I have enough babies coming for now, but if I can manage to fix the broody pen by the time the calls hatch I may try moving her in there and giving her some of the ducklings.
