LOOKING FOR 2025 BABY CHICKS?
As of this point, we're not planning to incubate. We've discovered that (at least, "many") commercial hatcheries vaccinate "in ovo". This "vaccination" causes them to lay sterile eggs as adults This results in a hatch rate, in their progeny, of about 20% rather than the "normal" 85% or better. Many of our heritage birds could be traced back to these, which meant that we'd start incubating 100 eggs, and maybe wind up with 20 chicks. This about broke our bank! Think about it - if you rec'd 2 dozen chicks from us last year, over ONE HUNDRED eggs had to be destroyed to get you those 24. That was both economically unsound and emotionally heartbreaking.
Some of our hens got broody as early as mid-January, 2025. We may sell surplus mama-raised "survivor" chicks (straight run, $8 each), so check back starting in May!

GENESIS 41:26 - Preparedness in the Bible
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream. 27 The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: They are seven years of famine.
28 “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. 29 Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. 31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. 32 The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon.

Topics above are just "tips of the icebergs" and lower fees are based upon group, rather than individual classes.

While you are at *m*z*n, order up several "BaoFeng UV-5R" radios. I'll teach you the ham and non-ham uses of them, as well as how to cheaply and effectively EMP-proof them. On that same order, tack on a $40 "Pink Rhino Training Cartridge" in every caliber you can find that you use; you'll need it for affordable (<<<<----) Gun Training. In many cases, it often better to get trained on the subject before running out & spending a bunch of $$ on it . . . UPCOMING EVENTS: CLASSIFIEDS: Need a temporary camper site? We are interviewing. |
