I turned off the incubators about a month ago. They had been running non-stop since Febuary. The youngest chicks I have now are around 5 weeks old. I have lots of chicks in the grow out pens, and I am very pleased at how they are turning out. I have lots of nice prospects to put into my breeding pens next year.

0 Comments Spring 2009 Egg Trades
Spring 2009 egg trades. Please read if you will be looking to trade eggs in the Spring of 2009. I will be looking for breeder or show quality bearded buff silkies, or white call duck eggs. I need to see recent pictures of the parents of the "eggs". Parents must be either breeder or show quality. Please email me if you are interested.
The Buff Silkies must be kept alone in a cage by color. I don't want mixed colors. Im looking for eggs that come from nice colored buff silkies, with nice toe and leg feathering. Im looking to add them to my line of buff silkies to breed. I must see recent pictures of the parent stock, from which the eggs will come from. The Silkies must be bearded. They must be shipped to me via priority mail with a tracking number, and I will ship them that way to you.
The eggs that I can trade for are Toulouse Goose eggs, Gray/Mixed Call egg assortment, Light Brahma eggs, or Salmon Faverolle eggs.

Here is my sales policy. I sell hatching eggs starting around March. Currently, I am not shipping any live birds.
If you do not agree to the sales policy, then do not order.
There are absolutley no refunds. The only time I will refund is if I can not ship out within 30 days, or fill the order within 30 days. I will not sell to anybody under the age of 18. Payment is by paypal only. If you pay by paypal e-check, I will not start collecting, or ship the eggs until the check has cleared. I will not start collecting the eggs until I receive your payment. I will NOT be held responsible for a poor hatch, or no hatch at all.
I can not guarantee hatchability due to many circumstances beyond my control. Before purchasing shipped eggs for incubation you need to understand that hatching shipped eggs is a gamble. You may get a great hatch, or have none hatch at all. If this is your first time hatching eggs, I would try to find a local source, instead of purchasing shipped eggs. A good thing to remember when purchasing eggs for incubation is, "Don't spend more than your willing to lose". That being said, I take great care when packing the eggs. I will bubblewrap each individual egg. The eggs will be cushioned with lots of shredded/crumpled paper. I found that this is the best method to ship eggs. They will be shipped via priority mail, 2-3 day shipping time. The eggs will not be more than 2-3 days old when shipped.
I ship orders out monday through saturday. If you do not want your order shipped out on a saturday, please email right after you order.
If you do not agree with my sales policy, then do not order.
