Lavish Farmer’s Market (For Chicken Lovers)
Speaking of hopping, I got out and about today. A notice came through to tell me that there is a new chicken area set up, the Lavish Farmer’s Market. So I went to take a look. It’s a big SIM with a central stall area. Anyone selling sion chicken eggs or similar can rent a stall there for L$50 per week. Stalls hold 20 prims. The proteggtor boxes (which look like egg cups, in my opinion) take up 4 prims each, but a few people are now coming out with egg selling devices which become coloured the same colour as the egg you are selling, and those only take up 1 prim. So a stall could technically sell 20 eggs using that method, and a few at the Farmers Market were already up and selling.
Surrounding the stall area at the Lavish Farmers Market there are lots of land to rent also, available for any chicken farmers or chicken businesses. These are rented at various amounts per size you want. At this point the covenants on the land don’t suggest that there is a limit on the amount of chickens you can put down on each lot, although if lag becomes a problem, this may be ruled in the future.The land is intended only for chicken farming or chicken business use.

As I took a look around the Farmers Market, quite a few people came through. Several have already setup stalls or purchased land, some several pieces of land to display live chickens for sale, or large coops and accessories. I was interested in seeing this from a hobbyist viewpoint (don’t tell Pacific I called her that, she’s overly sensitive towards the status of her little efforts with the chickens). There are quite a few bloggers out there which are lately discovering the “Joy” (and I use that term somewhat reservedly) of having a sionChicken or two around. But there are also a lot of people looking at sionChickens as a business.
Which one are we? Should we go and move our coops over to the Lavish Farmer’s Market and start selling eggs? Who actually buys those eggs unless it’s other breeders?
At the moment I think Pacific and I have enough on our plates just coping with twelve of them (plus one lost black Killer chicken) and it’s becoming tougher and tougher to kill one of them to make way for another one. We had to do this the last week, when Pacific wanted to hatch two of the new wave breed eggs. I think that’s all we can contemplate doing at the moment, is simply playing around with the breeding, and see what happens. But having the Lavish Farmers Market there to walk around seems a nice thing to have, where many chicken experts can probably be found, plus the accessories, all at the same place.
