Auction Sites and question on crossing white to lavender

(1/3) > >>

mustangsaguaro:
Not sure if many of you use auction sites to sell eggs and or birds. Besides ebay and bidbird what are some other poultry auction sites to sell on.  And what is your success rate on selling on this sites? Which site seems to get the highest price for eggs? I know ebay is probably the most well known but are other sites better?

I\'m curious I have a white hen that I hatched many years ago.  I decided to start concentrating on Lavenders only because right now I have only a limited amount of birds I can have. And really like the Lav. color. I have 2 lavender males to breed to my Lav/Lav split hens I have.

My curiosity is if I hatched eggs from my white hen and the lav roos breed her what type/color chicks would hatch from her eggs. I don\'t want to start any new projects it\'s more of a curiosity question and I know anything hatched from her eggs I would have to consider them mutts/easter eggers and couldn\'t sell as true Ameraucana\'s.

There is a brand new site that has just been put up that looks to be pretty well run...The moderator\'s are just that, moderators... They are not trying to start the Third Reich of Poultryland. (That is not my description, I am borrowing it from a friend!!!)

But a more simple answer that leads to a question is--Why not list our Ameraucana eggs, birds, etc for sale right here in our own comfy cozy home onthe web????  :D

Since the demise of Eggbid, things just haven’t been the same in my opinion. I haven’t sold anything through an auction in three years. The shipping of live birds became so bad at the post office that I had to stop all shipping. I basically could ship something out if I was willing to drive two hours. I wasn\'t willing and people were not willing to pay the surcharge. The odd part was that I could and can still receive shipments of live birds. Depending on the direction of shipment eggs either end up okay or scrambled. I would still ship eggs, but I am a year out from doing that. I really don’t know what is worse, the shipping or the gas.

I frequent Rare Breed Auctions (http://www.rarebreedauctions.com/index.php), Backyard Chickens For Sale Forums (http://www.backyardchickens.com), and eBay. I am basically looking to see what is out there and who is close to me that I might be able to drive to for the non Ameraucana breeds I am interested in. For Ameraucana I am dealing directly with members.

If you don\'t necessarily want to auction something, just sell or buy, try http://showbirdbid.proboards.com .   They have a general forum, breed club forums, a wanted forum, and a for sale forum.

I can totally understand this comment. But I know there are others out there besides us breeders that want these beautiful birds too.
