the chick crisis

[strollingbones]

seems with egg prices going up people are freaking out and buying chicks...as soon as a shipment comes in..takes two hours or so to sell out...many are just getting straight runs (mixed sexes) pullets (hens only) are selling out immediately. we drove over an hour one way to find out their shipment has ducks, banties and turkeys...i am not driving to lenior tomorrow ...they said their shipment would come in tomorrow but it comes usps so who knows

Tractor supply (and other places, I just use ts) have great incubators. I got one for about a hundred bucks a few years ago. It's very easy to use, and if you are set up for chicks anyway, it's not much extra work to hatch your own.

Marxism mandates shortages.

It's just part of the fun.
