I need to sell a dozen pullets from my collection of Red Stars, Barred Rocks, and Buff Orps. Nearly all are laying -- I'm getting over 40 eggs per day from 48 pullets. I would also consider selling my Bearded Buff Laced Polish cockerel.

Consider yourself invited to come down and visit my place. I'm raising 50 pullets right now, trying to get their run assembled so they can get outside. Contact me privately if you'd like to come see how I got started (6 years ago) and...

I'd like to sell 12 of my Red Star pullets. They should start laying in mid to late October. If they're anything like my previous RSs, they'll eventually lay large to jumbo eggs nearly every day. These girls are quite friendly and...

Thank you! I was able to pick up the liquid and have given her a mash with it (diluted as you directed) and she's devouring it.   Last question (I hope) -- should I give the rest of the flock the same medicated water (or...

I haven't seen anything that looks like blood in poop out in the stalls, but I'll definitely look for it if she poops on the towel she's wrapped up in. What should I look for among the other chicks, or do for them, to make sure they...

I've got some chicks coming in next week, 51 of them -- our temps have been in the 90s during the day, 80s at night; I'm using a 12'x12' stall as the brooder and bedded it with straw. Working out there this afternoon it was around 100*...

I know the feeling! It seems folks around here would rather pay for the junk eggs at the grocery store than drive a little out of their way to get eggs that really are good for them (and often lower priced than the "fancy" eggs...

I'm still looking for someone who wants some fryers/roasters for their freezer.  I've got a total of 13 that are ready to go.  Most of them are Delawares, with a few Delaware/BR crosses and a RIR.  I really need to get rid...
