 Taking egg orders for eggs from 'Big Ears' the Blackneck Pheasant and his 2 hens.Should be rolling by mid-April. $50 for 9 Postpaid.These and maybe my Goldens are the only eggs that I sell because I don't want to build a lot more of pens to raise any. 😃
Well I went and did it. 150 Valley, Gambel's, and Texas Blue Scaled eggs coming in May.
Anybody looking for eggs from them and also Northern Bobwhites and Tennessee Reds, look up Forest Hills Game Farm in Liberty,KY. Their prices are reasonable.These ebay hustlers' prices of $2.50 - $3.00 an egg are ridiculous Forest Hills has breeder flocks of thousands of birds.Eggs are around .80 a piece,.50,and .55 for Bobs and Tenn,Reds. I bought a lot of my first eggs from them around 20 years ago.Good people,really nice birds and eggs,great prices. I highly recommend them. I'm looking to build up a small colony of each kind this season and will be selling the extra birds in the fall. Stay away from the backyard hustlers and give them a holler. You'll be glad you did. See,I actually can have good things to say about people. I usually just write about the scumbags.😀. Well after three years I finally had enough of Facebook and clicked it off,hopefully for good. The ONLY reasons I'd ever consider getting back on would be if my website doesn't generate enough business,along with my ads on Softbills,and various other places to advertise quail,and if good old word of mouth finally dried up. As of now,the demand for the kinds of quail that I raise is through the roof,so it doesn't look like I'll run out of business anytime soon. It's the end of March,2019 and I'm getting calls every week for them. A lot of people don't realize that there's a shortage of them,especially after last season's poor fertility and hatch rate for a ton of old time breeders in the country. These birds aren't something you're going to find this time of year unless someone who has them wants to take advantage of someone who's desperate for them and charges them two or three times what they're worth. That happens now and then with a few Facebook jockeys,mainly The Three Golden Boys who I've written about quite frequently.
More on the subject of Facebook and why I left... where do I begin ? For one,it's a MEGA waste of time belonging to all of the groups on there !!!! Not just the quail groups,but every group I was in. Facebook is a playground for assholes,idiots,crooks,mental cases and con men. It's a place for people who have no life other than there. They live and breathe it. Some are trolls,only on the groups to but in to peoples' conversations and start arguments. In the three years there I've met some of the biggest scumbags I've ever known. Pretty much every one of them was a keyboard tough guy from hundreds or thousands of miles away. They'd mouth off,tell lies,and stir trouble. Every single one who did it to me was nothing but a goddamn wimp who wouldn't even dream of saying that kind of stuff face to face with me ! The Three Golden Boys,Jeff Earl,Jimmie Young,and the few others over the three years would shit their duds if they ever saw me in person stepping toward them.I wouldn't even have to throw a punch.I saw all their profiles. Every one of them is a soft,out of shape wimp.They would be down on their knees,crying,shaking,begging,and pleading with me not to tear their heads off. I'd make them kiss my feet,lick my boots,then tell them to get up off the ground and stop their goddamn crying.Then I'd tear into them with hard fast punches to the body and to the head,leaving them in a heap,knocked out for the count,and then some.Just a good old fashioned ass kicking like guys did back in the day !! I've honestly had thoughts of taking a couple of three day trips to find a couple of these guys and doing just that. If it wasn't for the law,cops,jail,and all that crap I'd have got a couple of them by now. So before I decide to take the chance and go for it anyway,I just decided to get the hell off of Facebook and try to cool down. I don't need this shit !! Absolutely ridiculous to have to do this to sell my quail !!! And the thing that gets me is that I've done nothing but try to help these clowns !!! I started two of the Golden Boys who knew less than nothing about quail period,one in 2015,and the other in 2016.I kicked myself in the ass for it every day,ever since ! The slimy,sniveling little weasel from Ellenton,Florida had some quail before they did. I sold him some Elegant Quail and maybe some others,and he turned into a real asshole quick ! A sociopath,stalker ! That Earl moron,all I did was give 20 years worth of breeding knowledge to in a year's time,and for my reward,he's telling everybody who'll listen that I'm a goddamn faggot,my birds are inbred,I'm a thief,and need medication ! Jimmie Young sent me money with the understanding that his birds weren't going to be shipped until fall when the weather was plenty cool to ship,and that his birds were pretty near full color and size,which would have been in October to early November. He called and messaged me every single week in August and September to send them. They were still chicks in the brooders !!! I told him a hundred times !!! I couldn't take it anymore,sent his money back with a brief note explaining why,and now he's telling everybody that I'm a liar,just wanted to keep the birds so I could sell them to my friends,and that I'm a punk. He told someone that he bought Benson eggs from me and they were all duds. I never sold him any eggs ! Then he told the guy he got the birds and they were all mangy looking things. I never sent him any birds ! I sent his goddamn money back instead ! Two fucking liars !! And those are just five of the pieces of shit.The three worst,and the other two,the most recent.Women are the mouthiest. That goddamn fuckin bitch,Kari Peterson,for just one example of the many, who runs one of the four Good Egg,Bad Egg sites is a well known nutjob. Last week I wrote a GOOD review of a reputable quail farm who's been in business for years. She private messaged me and told me to get it off ! I asked her what the problem was. She told me that there are rules and that rules are for adults ! I asked her why she's such a stiffass compared to the administrators of the other groups.She then called me things like Shirley,junior,loser,whiny little crybaby,and other names. Of course I gave it right back to her. Then I went on the other Good Egg Bad Egg sites and gave her a review. Half or better of the people agreed with me about the nut,all having had similar experiences with the bitch.Then of course,the little snowflakes have to chime in and tell me I'm no better than her for calling her names !! Goddamn idiots ! I wouldn't be calling her the names if she didn't get nasty with me for posting a good review of someone's farm ! Facebook seems like one extreme to the other. They're either the mean,rotten,trouble making,mouthy fucking wiseasses,or a poor little snowflake super sensitive,thin skinned wuss,spleeny little soft wimp ! A normal person can't win in the middle of people like them. They're all a bunch of goddamn misfits. I belong back in my father's day and age when girls were girls and men were men.Back then you'd either sink or swim . Anybody lazy was poor and broke.People weren't soft in those days. I've got no use for sissies. I don't like to see guys in jewelry and sissy clothes. Back in the 40's and 50's if a guy even thought of doing something like wearing a necklace,all the regular guys would make fun of him and rough his ass up so bad that he wouldn't even dare to leave his house. Now all I see are young guys all dolled up in their little polo shirts and Dokkers,with their little pierced ears,texting on their little phones,with their perfectly manicured nails on their soft little fingers. Regular guys back in the day would have a field day with fairies like them ! Two of the "guys" that I didn't know personally,who sent me friend requests that I accepted,only because it showed we had mutual friends in the business,both all of a sudden put up posts.They showed two young guys making out ! Then the assholes said that normal people shouldn't be offended by it.I about threw up in my mouth. I looked at their profiles and saw that they were both "in a domestic partnership" with other guys. Gross ! I unfriended them of course. Then another faggot,Earl Justus,from Texas actually had the balls to try to hit on me a couple times.He kept saying how handsome I am and that if I wanted to come down to Texas,he's a good cook,well to do,and would take good care of me ! I wanted to tell him to fuck off. I told him that I like girls. He kept it up so I blocked him too. Then there's the freaks covered in tattoos of dragons,demons,skulls,Chinese writing,and ringbolts through their noses,hog rings through their eyebrows,and up the sides of their whole ears. Pierced tongues,nipples,and other places. Back in the day they'd be in the freak parade at the circus. Chicks with tattoos everywhere ! Pure white trash ! Imagine how they're going to be if they ever make it to 80 or better ? Little shriveled up ol' grannies with tit-tats and tramp stamps. It's all over everywhere but it's what Facebook is all about. My guess,maybe 20% decent folks,80% trash. Man do I miss the 90's !!! Doesn't seem that long ago either. No goddamn internet and plenty of good looking girls with no tattoos ! I'm some glad I don't have any kids.Just think what it's gonna be like in another twenty years ! I wonder if they'll be any bird breeders left. Already I'm saving at least a couple hours every day to be productive like I used to be before Facebook. I was sitting down a few times throughout the day to check my messages,only to have to explain to a bunch of people that I don't sell hatching eggs for the thousandth time,and don't sell coturnix or Bobwhites. I'm not wasting time explaining the same things to the same dummies over and over like a broken record ! Anybody see that idiot on there who keeps pestering me for Bensons. I won't mention the name but his profile is a guy with a Santa hat on and a big grin on his face. Looks like a fuckin dunce. Asked me over and over how much they cost all summer long. Then when I as ready to start shipping he had no money.Then I sold everything but a few extra hens and he tells me that he'll take two pairs. I told him again that I was sold out of pairs. He kept on. I blocked him but he was still there.Probably Wagner under another fake profile just trying to drive me nuts some more. No more of this shit for me ! Serious people only. If someone can't get my info on my website and e mail me then that means they can't want the quail very bad. This is already weeding out some duds.😀 That's the nickname we gave him because he's a little sniveling crybaby bitch when someone gives it right back to him.The guy sure can dish it out but sure can't take it coming back.
Here's how it all started between the two of us. A few years ago this fuckin prick from Florida called me for some birds. I can't remember which types,either Mearns or Bensons,maybe some of both.Instantly I didn't like him.Lousy personality,not at all friendly.Just a pisspot to talk to. Most folks are pretty friendly when calling about the birds but every once in a while I get one like that.Everything was basically,"How much,how much,how much ?",one of those guys where it's all about,"What can you do for me ?".That's the type who's all about the buck and nothing else. A guy like that,when you give a good deal,wants a better one. After I got off the phone with him I remember shaking my head,taking a deep breath and saying to myself,"Man was that guy an asshole or what ?" Anyway,I was new to this Facebook crap and the whole internet thing and around that time I had a couple others that were about the same. I never used to get people quite like them during the old Game Bird Gazette days.Sure in any business you'll run into an asshole or a character once in a while,but with Facebook I got a crash course in the new generation of shitbag hustlers ! I can't recall how many dealings I had with him. I talked briefly with him a handful of times just answering his rapid fire questions and dictating to me how to ship and what to write on the box when I send his birds,as if it was my first time ever sending any. Again I really already hated this dick.He was getting under my skin fast. I sent his birds. The Express Mail label said delivery would on the second day by 3:00 PM. Maine to Florida.Approximately 1700 miles.Well,as happens now and then the birds arrived the morning after that.Yes a tad late but the birds were fine. He e mailed me,"I want my money,I want my money,I want my money !!",basically screaming and crying for me to get the Postage refund for being a few hours late. Well by that time,like I said,I had it with him and that's all it took for me to snap and tell him off. I told him something along the line of to calm his ass down and quit being such a goddamn cheapskate ! I told him that I've been shipping birds and have had birds shipped to me for a lot of years from all over and if we all went to collect the refund every single time then the Post Office would stop all shipping of birds altogether. I've been hearing for years that the Post Office doesn't really want anything to do with sending live birds and that it won't take much to make them stop. Well that's when the shit hit the fan.He sent me an e mail telling me that he holds a grudge and he's gonna haunt me not just for then but for years to come.That was the one time he told the truth. So immediately it started. He went on the Softbills site and put an ad on pretending to be me. It read something like,Hi,this is Scott O'Schmuck from Maine and I'm having a breeder's liquidation sale. Mountain Quail,$40pr.,Bensons,$30pr.,Mearns,$100pr. ..... He went on saying that the reason I'm selling is because I'm senile and inbred and that my birds are all second quality..... . A whole line of shit like that. I couldn't believe it but people actually started calling me on it. Quite a few actually.Most knew it was some kind of a joke.Only a couple of halfwits took it seriously ! Well that only backfired on Derek because I explained to all of those people who he is,our dealings,and what kind of guy he is.Pretty much all of them told me that they'd definitely put him down as someone not to do business with.He had an ad on Softbills himself at the time. I reported him for doing that and he got the boot. Later he crept back on under a different name,"Ellenton Elegants". He's good with making up names and fake profiles. More on that in a bit. He also started the same thing,telling lies about me on Matt Pitchford's Google site,"Quail Enthusiasts". Matt threw him off. So far,Scott 2,Derek 0. It only made him madder. He's lied about me about everywhere to anyone dumb enough to listen. He even went on my Facebook page,Maine-ly Quail wising off and starting trouble. I blocked his ass. A year later I got a call from a woman from Florida.She wanted to buy some Mearns Quail.I told her I had some. She told me she had a few but it was a total disaster.I sent her down three pair.When they arrived she called me.I'll never forget it. She said,"Mr O'Brien,what are these ? !" I replied,"Mearns Quail." She said,"Oh my God,these are BEAUTIFUL !!!" "These are nothing like the ones I have !!" She didn't even think they were the same species !! I told her to send me a picture of hers. She did and I told her that yes they are Mearns but pretty piss poor specimens. She was carrying on about how nice and big,and plump,and shiny mine were ! I asked her who the hell she got her others from. She told me Derek Wagner,and the whole story of the ordeal. She told me that she contacted him because she saw his ad somewhere and wanted to go to his place and buy some. He said,"No no,I'll meet you somewhere...".Probably ashamed of his slum farm. She ended up meeting him half way on a hot 100 degree Florida day. He had the birds in the back of his truck in little tiny cardboard boxes with no air holes. They did the transaction.She put them in her air conditioned car but by the time she got home it was already too late. There were a few already dead,and more that keeled over not long after from heat stroke. She only ended up with a few left. She called him and told him about it. He got mad at her and told her it was all her fault and wouldn't make good for any of it ! Around that time he was still stirring some shit with me so I told the woman that I was going to write a post on my Facebook page about him. I told her that I wouldn't mention her name or anything.She said,"No,by all means mention my name and give my phone number !" "I want to let people know just what kind of guy he is !" I asked her if she was sure and she told me absolutely. Well I wrote a good post about the little worm and our experiences with him. Shit hit the fan again. Somehow he got a few of his loyal conned flunkies to give me some shit on my page in the comments.I was on there telling it like it is and they wouldn't have any of it.One was a 350 pound plus lummox religious fanatic who private messaged me trying to explain about God and the bible,how to be..... . I pretty much told him he's talking to the wrong guy.He kept it up and I told him he'd be going to meet his maker soon if he didn't lay off the cheeseburgers.He kept on and on and I put him in his place as much as possible. There's no convincing their kind anyway. Well Whaah Whaah was wild !! He called Michelle all that day and sent her SEVENTEEN e mails about the things he's going to do to her and of course called her every name in the book. He's known to threaten women. He's done it to a friend of mine and I've heard others if things don't go his way. When he screws someone and the people complain then he tells them off and how it's all their fault,and if it's a woman he usually threatens them it seems. Somehow he got on my page and started mouthing off to me. This guy's just like his nut buddy in Michigan.Mouthiest bastards you could ever meet. I swear they must practice the art of it to be so goddamn mouthy ! I guess it's from a lifetime of having to bail themselves out of a lot of scrapes by telling people off and such. So he started in with me. I told him that I'm coming for him and am gonna tear his fuckin head off !! Well he thinks nothing of threatening women but when a guy comes back at him he calls the cops !!! What a pussy !!!!!😂 He called the local county sheriff here in Maine on me from Florida,1700 miles away !!!!!!😂😂😂WOW !!! What a goddamn little pansy !!!!!! Things slowly quieted down for a bit but I'd hear things now and then about him and his lies.... No big deal.He's a scumbag and surely won't hurt my reputation. The latest one is how he's been stalking my Facebook profile and ten of my other Facebook "bird friends" profiles.He made up a fake profile just like Ohio Joe does.This one was named "George Underwood". Sent me a friend request one time and talked birds just a little,asking me about Bensons and about another guy in Kansas,I don't remember just everything. So I wrote a post maybe a few months ago about Sal Alvarez,the con man from California,and "Underwood" came on and started to ask questions just like the way Wagner used to,but trying to be more polite. He started to ask me about why I keep bringing up The Three Golden Boys and said that I oughtta drop it because it was a long time since I had any trouble with any of them,and that I should just focus on the birds.He said he's just an old man who wanted to learn about quail and wanted to learn from me and my vast knowledge,and all that bullshit.... Well it wasn't two years since the Golden Boys gave me any trouble.It's all the time. That's why I keep bringing them up.If it was two years old I'd let it go. Anyway the conversation started to get heated and he showed his colors.I told him and everybody looking at the post that this is no Underwood,it's Derek Wagner under another fake profile.I busted him and he started wising off again.I tried to block him. I couldn't. The bastard wouldn't go away. I looked at the profile and reported it. It was gone the next day. The guy is such an insecure,sneaky little weasel that he has to make up fake profiles to stalk other breeders to see what they're raising,how many,what they're selling.... . His whole life is lying,sneaking,mouthing off,and screwing people. He is one piss poor example of a man. He's a coward's coward. Another one he just pulled,just like Ohio Joe pulled on me this year is having someone order some Bensons from me,sending them to their address instead of his of course. He was bragging to his Golden Boy buddy Keith about it,sending him pictures of the boxes I sent. They have to sneak like that because no other real breeders like the assholes and won't sell them anything. Little by little we're getting to him. I know two people in Florida with great reputations that can't stand the guy will take every bit of any local business of his. I set them up in Mearns,Mountain,and Benson breeding. They're doing a great job,built really nice pens and have some nice stock. A ton of Facebook followers and one sells tons of Bobwhites to local shooting preserves. I clicked off of all the Facebook dummy sites over a year ago but Shawn's still on a few for some Bobwhite business. He saw some idiot recommend Wagner for Mearns. Right after the comment Shawn posted my website address😂😂.Wagner probably shit his duds. Then the little shyster was on there advertising Gambel's eggs for $2.50 each. I told Shawn to put up right by his post that for Valley,Gambel's,Scaled,Tennessee Red,and Northern Bobwhite eggs,to contact Forest Hills Game Bird Farm in Liberty Kentucky for them. Great farm and people.Fair prices. Gambel's eggs are 25 for $35, 50 for $52,and they even sell lots of 100 and more. I'll bet the puke had a stroke when he saw that !😂😂 He pulled the post down quick ! For those of you who aren't familiar with him,he's an egg hustler on ebay.He goes by the name Fisher on there. People complain about the dud,dirty eggs. He sent a friend of mine in West Virginia some eggs which were supposed to be Bensons. Only one out of a dozen hatched. It turned out to be a coturnix. One guy was on one of the Good Egg / Bad Egg sites saying that he sent him $175 and never got a thing from him.The guy has bad reviews but not enough. Like I've said before,not enough people have the balls to speak up for themselves when they get the shaft. I've never heard one good word about him and from my dealings with him it sure doesn't surprise me. So damn many people tell me about getting screwed by him but when I mention to them about speaking up for themselves,they cower and disappear. Well there it is,and there's plenty I left out too. Don't say I didn't warn ya ! I've had to give out a good bunch of "I told ya so's" about him and his buddies. |
