What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

[2ndTink]

Oh Tink, you indeed got a deal nobody could pass up.

That's where I got into this too, from the breeder my Marsha and her siblings came from. But this "emergency deal" was half off, so $20. (I bought her day-olds last March for $15 each).

Originally I had made a deal with someone to split that $20 with me and take some. Three weeks later, she backed out. Then I had five sold again and as of yesterday, that one backed out. I looked on Facebook and saw someone looking for silkie hens. Well, who knows what these are but sent her a msg. The deal of $40 for five she agreed to. She'd have come today but she's an hour away and we're having a snowstorm so maybe Monday roads will be better.

I talk to these chicks and tell them they are loved even though they were turned down twice. I think they'll get over it.

Are you selling some of yours or waiting to see what you get? This'll be fun to see what we each wind up hatching next spring/summer with our other lovelies.

Half off Marsha breeder eggs cannot be passed up! Your Marsha is so beautiful!

Lol, so we were in the same boat on splitting the hatch, I bought 22 eggs in July and my friend was going to take 5 or 6 chicks. 16 hatched and then she ended up getting engaged and buying a house and is working to remodel it before moving in, so no chicks until she's settled in next year. I have a few of the cockerels posted for sale but no interest. The plan is to sell chicks and hatching eggs and make my first million so I don't have to work such a stressful job to pay for my chickens posh lifestyle

I'm excited to see your chicks from Marsha and the mauve this coming summer!

I'm glad you understand exactly what happened and exactly how innocent I am in this situation I'm contemplating a hatch along, this may be my "spring" silkie hatch if I get more than about 5 or 6 chicks to hatch. If I do another hatch for my birthday it will be layers. The caveat is that there's even less certainty on hat h rate on these eggs than usual.

You might be pleasantly surprised, you may have a great hatch! I will be excited to tag along on your hatch thread!

Deb, maybe the universe is telling you those chicks are meant to be yours

Well, hubby just made a deal with her to go half the distance so her 1 hour 16 minute trip just got cut in half. We have a date on Tuesday to meet in a park by the lake there and we'll run our dogs someplace new at the same time. She didn't ask, we offered. In reality, hubby wants to make dang sure this third one doesn't back out on us lol.
