Auction Sites and question on crossing white to lavender

<< < (2/3) > >>

HappyMtn:
Well I occasionally list my eggs on another forum, but was banned for quoting another seller IN HER OWN WORDS bragging about how she get twice as much as John B for her birds. She is not even an Am breeder, only got into the lavenders after seeing a few of us have good auctions last year.
I wish everybody would be able to make a little bit of feed money back for our efforts, but flat out greed at the expense of the breed just makes me sick.  
Sorry for the rant.
I would like another outlet as well. I hate ebay. It is awful when you are only an occasional seller.

Sharon Yorks:
I get the most responses from http://bestfarmbuys.com/ (post under Poultry-Chickens) and click on the state you are from. I also have done pretty well on www.craigslist.org

Good site! Thanks!
I use www.localsalesnetwork.com for some things, (its regional) but we are so rural there aren\'t many people here to buy anything. They really just show up for free roosters. At least it works for that!

I\'m pretty sure these 2 posts reference the same site, one I detest for just that reason...

Honestly, if you even hint on here you have something for sale (and a way to contact you) you will be inundated with calls - I don\'t even list myself in the breeders\' directory because I can\'t keep up. Because this forum is public, lots of people read it that aren\'t members, and people looking for real Ameraucana check this forum often. (I was reading here for a couple of years before I joined.)

E-Bay has the traffic to probably get the best price, and several members use it - that\'s how I found Wayne Meredith and got into Ameraucanas. But I\'ve been leary of selling eggs on there because I don\'t want my fb score ruined my people with unrealistic expectations. There aren\'t too many egg sellers that don\'t have at least one negative that reads something like this: \"NONE FERTILE!! SENT ROTTEN EGGS!! EGGS FROM 5 OTHER SELLERS HATCHED IN THE SAME INCUBATOR!\"  I don\'t have much patience for that stuff. (This is also the reason I take excess birds to the sale most of the time instead of going through the dance of, \"Yes I noticed it has speckles in it\'s hackles. No it\'s not perfect. If I had a perfect bird do you think I\'d be selling it?\") :rolleyes:

--- Quote from: 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.
