[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 5073414, member: 5764"] Look for a good LGD? They can be good deterrents to birds of prey. Also helps to make sure there are hiding places for the hens. A pallet teepee, tent, etc. Do you have any roosters? They’re the alarms of the chicken world. They watch and give the call to hide for hens. Is there a reason you don’t hatch your own replacements? It’s what I do, ridiculously easy with broodys although I’m slightly incubator challenged. As for sales, I advertise when I’ll be in the city, list the time I will be there and directions to find me. People show up for their eggs or I sell the no shows to others. Usually end up telling them I’m short during the moult and winter is hard since the eggs tend to freeze before I can get them. But there’s always people that want them again in spring when the supplies regular once more. Not a huge money maker by any means but it supports my chicken hoarding tendencies :oops: [/QUOTE]
