Eggs and chicks


The neighbor came to get her eggs. She knocked on my door a few weeks ago and wanted to know if I would sell her eggs. I gave her several flats of banty eggs over time and I had told her I would sell her my brown eggs when they started producing. That is why I called her yesterday. The lady paid me with Quarter and now I feel really bad like maybe I took her life savings. I am not cut out to be a business person!

I have been studying this chicken business and I have come to some conclusions for sister. Everything I read says after the first year the sexlink chickens don't produce as many eggs and so I think you should have some replacement pullets coming on every year and cull all your older hens after 2 years.

The only way you can get more is to order them...I guess I will in Feb. I will order the lower amt. and destroy the roosters as youcan tell right away which is which?

It looks as though we're going to get rain, sleet, ice, snow starting tomorrow evening. Stay warm and dry!
