THANKS for the quick responses. That makes me feel a whole lot better. I knew you all would be able to advise me. THANKS again!!!

The one dominant rooster seems to have a bit of balding around his neck, but I think he fights with the other roosters sometimes. We have a couple of silkies, they are both roosters and they haven't lost any feathers either. The one other rooster doesn't seem to be missing any feathers...

I have layer chickens that are in with roosters. Several of them, but not all of them have bald spots on their backs. Do they have some sort of bug or is there something else going on? I know our roosters seem to be quite aggressive as they are in competition with each other. Any help...

I ordered some signs to put on the windows of my vehicle. I also ordered some stickers to put on the top of our cartons that have our address in case someone wants to come back. I plan on ordering some of the plastic see through cartons. I think the eggs look so beautiful in them. I really...

Update!!!! We went to the State Fair on Wednesday and was talking with one of the vendors and it came up that we have chickens. Turns out she lives kind of locally and wanted to know where she could get eggs. We were going to to the fair again the next day and offered to bring some up for...

THANKS!!! I went and sent a PM and requested to be added to the database.

It might be a little late for suggestions/requests, but would there be a way to create a link from the database that a potential customer could click on the User Name and it would take them to the area to send a PM, through BYC? This may not even be possible, but it would possibly get people...

THANKS for all the suggestions. I hope we sell some soon as I don't want them to go to waste. How long can I keep them in the frig and have them stay fresh? We're new at this so still learning. THANKS again!!!!

I'll make a sign and post it. The windows on the back of my vehicle are rather dark so I may have to have some stickers made. Its worth a shot!!!

THANKS!! I went and signed up for an account!!!! We'll see if it works!!!

Those are good suggestions. Hubby has been wanting to try and figure out how to sell on ebay, this may be a good opportunity. Would people want them packaged and shipped to them or just sell to local people? Hadn't thought about the feed store. I'll have to check with them. They are all...

Put a post on there yesterday morning and no responses from there either.

We live in Central Iowa. I do not work outside the home, but I do take my kids to school everyday and also pick them up every day. Thats why I thought a sign on my car would work. Hubby is a self employed contractor, so he doesn't go to one place on a consistant basis. THANKS for the...

We have Barred Rocks, around 50 of them, that started laying just a couple of weeks ago (at 17 weeks of age). Each day it seems like we are getting more and more eggs. Today we got 34 eggs . We decided to put a sign in our front yard, on a fairly busy county highway a couple of days ago and...

34 from 55ish (can't get them to stand still long enough to count them all again!!) Now what do I do with all of these eggs? I'll start another thread somewhere for suggestions on how to get the word out they are laying and we have eggs to sell!!!

Nope, never done that before. How big do the holes have to be to get everything out? Then do they need to be rinsed out or just let the remaining part dry out? I don't want them to stink. I think they will be beautiful in a little basket. THANKS for the suggestion - now I just have to...

Ok, this is obviously a newbie question, but we have approx. 50 chickens that are 18 weeks old that started laying about a week ago. Most of the eggs have been small, but they are getting bigger. We now have a bakers dozen and I want to save the shells from our first eggs. Is there a way...

Ok, so I am going to answer my own question. I followed the link to Stromberg's from this website/forum and they have yellow signs with black writing that says "Fresh Eggs For Sale". The wording is only on one side, so I will have to put two of them back to back. They also do not come with a...

Woohoo!!! We got our first two eggs in the last couple of days. They are really tiny, though. I think the first ones are usually small, right? The shell is nice and hard though. It is laying next to a nickle for size comparison. Don't know who it came from a Barred Rock or a Silkie...

We are thinking about also putting some chicken wire on the outside of the welded wire, just on the bottom 2 or 3 feet, however tall the chicken wire is that we purchased. It will also be burried in the ground with the welded wire, so hopefully, together they will be more predator proof. I...
