Bye, Bye Hammys'.

The pictures say it all really. I had this sign up outside the house this morning, some people called in and bought stuff and now I have some money for chookfood. And I have less chooks, the ducks are gone...Double bonus there.


Another good thing is this sign that Hubby made for me over the weekend. It is a lot better looking than the scrappy cardboard sign that I was using before and it has wheels, well, balls, so it it a lot easier to pull in and out. It has a blackboard surface so I can rub things out when they go, add things I want to go. Totally brilliant. I knew I kept him around for something.


I am so lucky...Life is good again.


I need help here though please. The word Hammys in the title...is that the wrong spelling? Should it be "ies" on the end? I have shortend the word Hamboughs. Thanks.

Who Needs a Sign?

5pm.
Eggs have been growing in number over the last few days and I was going to put the sign out this morning but being a slackass I never got around to it.

I had a phone call this morning from a lady wanting a couple of dozen and just now a bloke called in asking for some. I did have to go and collect one of todays for him to make up numbers but...4 dozen sold today. Another $12 in the chookfood fund.

Hope They Work.

We, well a daughter (Hi L) actually owns them I am just the muggins that looks after them, anyway we have Hambough chooks, pretty little things that have been giving us fertile eggs for awhile now. We have too many Hammy chickens and I decided that L does too so I put an ad up to sell some of the eggs.

And I did! So another $25 into the chookfood fund.

When we have incubated eggs from these chooks the hatching rate has been pretty good so I am hoping that the same happens for this lady and she doesn't end up crying like I did with my bought Australorp eggs.

Sold some eggs

We sell excess eggs to help cover the cost of the chook feed and a few months ago Hubby divided up some strawberry plants into pots with the thought of selling those as well.

I put a sign up outside our place when I have a few dozen eggs in the fridge. Some days we are getting over a dozen eggs so they don't take long to add up, espesially as we are eating the smaller eggs from the MB chooks.

Today I have sold 4dozen eggs at $3.00 doz and 8 strawberry plants at $2.50 each so more than enough for a bag of feed.

Once I start selling the chickens and excess chooks I'll have it made...
