That's good to know! I'm tempted to get his RIRs but I am nervous about adding more birds to the flock now after what happened with Princess. Poor thing scared the heck out of me and she wasn't even sick, just stressed out!

I know how that goes! I was using the rain as an excuse today for not getting much done. At one point DH came into the computer room and asked what I was doing with my day I had to tell him the truth - "Playing with the Silkies." I had every one of them in my lap today, talking to them, stroking their little backs and chests until they chirped, trilled and went to sleep. I am just loving my little birds - they are ultra snuggly!

Mesmerizing little cuties aren't they KMH?

OK we are looking at getting a owner/builder mortgage, which involves a list of every stick, oven & toilet into a spread sheet and then a line of credit is brought up and then vouchers can be issued to contractors or us buying needed items on such list.
No we cannot go on vacation................LOL

But it does involve us shopping for everything we need and then trying to get any bids from contractors for work, which all goes into the loan.

Greg wanna do a bid on the sheetrock ?
PM me or e-mail me & I can send you a blueprint copy.

So~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ we are very busy, busier than normal busy.

Just set Black Quechua Olmec eggs for hatching!
very excited about these total black birds from South America.............

I also have mature Buckeyes, cocks, hens, juveniles, and Black Java mature & juveniles for sale.............good prices for BYCers.

How very cool!!! I'd be excited, too.

I am really angry with myself. I allowed myself to be duped to drive all the way to Issaquah to sit in a parking lot for an hour and have someone no show to pick up two cockerels - that I held for two days.

All in rush-hour traffic, and when I should have been helping our school pack the classrooms for a move.

UGH!!! And the worst part is that this is the SECOND time I've "sold" these little guys.

No - actually - the worst part of this is the stress these poor little boys went through - it was well over three hours in my car

I have now made a "Craigslist Blacklist" with email, name, and events that led up to the no-show or otherwise flaking out.

My list has a total of three people now.

I will share my "Craiglist Blacklist" with anyone that would like it. If you have one - I'd love to add names/emails to my list as well.

I've also set up all new policies, including *MUST* include a phone number, must paypal payment within 24 hours for me to hold more than 24 hours, must paypal payment before delivery, I will only sit for so long, etc.

I really HATE that I have to do this!
Does anyone else have these issues? I have not ever had these issues buying/selling on Craiglist - we even bought our van on CL! It's just the chicken sales!

I have had pretty good luck with CL and roosters. I have never driven anywhere to meet someone though. They have to come here and my roos arent free. Usually a $10.00 price tag weeds out the deadbeats.

The worst time was over a $30.00 couch. I had 2 parties that really wanted it but wouldn't show up when they were suppose to. One of them eventually took it but it took several day.

Sorry about the wasted trip-in this weather it has to be so frustrating.

Gosh, that really sucks Dawn!! I'm so sorry someone did that to you, what a punk! Did you get in contact with them today before you drove? Phone number? E-mail? eesh, I'd be flamin' mad if someone did that to me!

I actually had the opposite happen to us yesterday; we put an ad on Craigslist selling our dog kennel chain link fencing and within an hour someone wanted to come see it. She came and I thought she was going to take it with her but she asked if we would hold it for her; she insisted on giving us money for it right then and there just to hold it until Sunday! I've never had someone insist on giving me money when we already told her we didn't mind suspending the ad and holding it for free. Funny lady.

So all my birds have diarrhea, probably from the antibiotic. They have been switched back to plain water with vitamins and electrolytes and Princess is doing fine now, other than the same diarrhea from the antibiotic. I can't believe all that was stress, it was pretty ridiculous how bad off she was for so many days. But now she's so fine, actually, that she's in with everyone else and no special treatment whatsoever. Craziness. I hope it doesn't take long for the diarrhea to go away, it's nasty when 10 birds in a 128s/f run all have the runs!
