Large hatcheries usually hatch a large number of chicks once a week, when they say within 1-2 hatch dates they mean that if the order can not be filled because of lack in hatching's it will be filled on the next hatch date usually one week later.

About waking hubby up: remind him he is helping a very young person start a business. Not something done everyday.

You should be proud of yourself for what you are doing. The site is looking great and now you get the help of someone that does this for a living.

When he was awake, I was reading things out to him and saying things like, "What do you think about this sentence." and "What would you put here." He would give me an answer and then say, "Honey I do this kind of stuff everyday." after about the third time he said, "Honey, did you not hear me before." and then answered me.

Lol, that's hilarious. I just want it to look professional and still be free so this is great! Thank you all so much!

Your welcome but you will have to wait til I can start bugging him again tomorrow to get his opinion. I may start counting how many times he rolls his eyes at me.

Also, if anyone knows someone who is looking for Iowa Blues or Easter Eggers (and soon Ameraucanas), let them know about me. I'm just starting and am still in the process of being NPIP registered but am taking local orders now. In a few months I'm hoping to be able to ship eggs. Thanks in advance!

Hubby came home from work and took a look at the website. Below are some of his suggestions. They are only suggestions so use what you like and bin what you don't. It is up to you.

We hope your new venture is wildly successful, Good luck.

Rosewood Poultry website notes

Home page

Personalise it more, bit more about how came to be chicken breeders, pictures of the farm and chickens roaming on it. People buy in to a story they can identify with, so tell them a story on the home page and intertwine with relevant pictures to draw them in.

In essence should be an overview of what the site is about and the people running the business.

Design a logo that unique to Rosewood Poultry, it is your brand identifier.

Remove Breeds currently offered from home page and either create a special category titled Breeds currently offered on Home Page or add to Breed section and make it a highlighted feature of the Breed section.

Breeds
Mix up pictures and writing more pleasing on the eye, lumping a bunch of pictures together then writing in block underneath doesn’t make best use of space and breaks up block shapes which not ideal.

Remove blank page for Americauna and have a news section as one of the main sections on home page where can put notices on about impending new breeds, site updates, changes etc. People can click on it and keep themselves up to date with the latest at rosewood poultry.

For Sale section misleading rename Pricing and Delivery Options

Due to the prices of feed, medication and supplies, we reserve the right to change prices on any stock without notice. This ensures you are getting the healthiest stock possible.

This statement on Our Policy page is a bit abrupt and may make people think twice. Need to think about wanting custom not driving it away. Think about adding “However, we will never change prices without informing our clientele as far in advance as possible, and the price will never be amended on an order already placed.”

Available Now- either centralise writing to each picture or place writing below each picture.

Great advice! Thank you!

I'm still in the constructing stage so I'll admit things are still looking a little choppy, lol.

I think you're right with that statement. I've been on other sites that have had a whole page of things like that so because of that I chose not to order from them... I'll change that tonight!

Where does he suggest I go to create a Logo? Photoshop? PicMonkey?

You don't think I have too many tabs do you? Should I try to combine some?
