Lee I just want you to know that I think that was wrong that those folks did that to you. And if it was me being contacted from another chicken love from Texas or anywhere I would have been pleased to sit down with you or anyone and talk chickens. I have only been doing this I think 3 years now and will admit I have lots to learn that is why I love this group. I have learn so much from everyone here. You would have been more than welcome to come and see my set up its it not perfect, elaborate or anything but it wrks for me for now LOL.
We just built a chicken tractor this weekend and as soon as i can figure out what the girls have done to my cord for me to upload the pics from my phone I will post it. Some of my chickens are pure breed, mutts as my girls call them or mixes but they are spoiled here lol. If anyone wanted my eggs would be glad to share. Where are you in Texas? I am in Decatur Texas. 30 Minutes North of Fort Worth.
we are in the middle of the storms you are hearing about on the news.
Deana a fellow Texan

So far, I don’t have any chickens but I’ve been reading a lot on all the egg disasters on many of these reflectors. It appears there are more crooks involved with eggs. Maybe because it would be harder to prove the seller sold a bad product and not as described. If I would have guessed, I would have thought the opposite would be true. That is, lots of very honest sellers. Being an outsider “looking in,†I think some people owning chickens have “visions of grandeurâ€. Just my opinion. I do however notice a bunch of really nice people on the reflector too. (Women are sure more emotional about things then the men and there sure are a lot of women into chickens).

It was interesting getting responses back from those people. What was amazing to me is not one person invited me over to “talk chicken’s†or even meet for a cup of coffee or lunch at a convenient place. (I would have paid for the lunch). One of these persons also sells hatching eggs and not chicks and she apparently thinks she is the chicken queen in Texas. Guess where I never will buy eggs once I need them, which will probably be next year.
