ok...if you hear of anyone who might want them, plase let me know as they need to go very soon.

do you want some other young roosters/cockerels? I have 6 to get rid of. They are not exactly meat birds, but Astralorps are dual purpose birds, and the father of mine is an Astraulorp. The two that hatched Dec 22nd are pretty big--almost as tall as "Dad" already--but not as filled out. The ones...

I have been really surprised because I lived about a half mile directly west from here, on the same creek, for over 20 years before moving here and had bad problems with raccoons. I had to chase them from my attic and my basement! I have had rabbits, lots of birds, and a family of ground hogs...

genetics are sure funny! from Reds and Black I get white with some black spots and gold fringing. hahaha

offering up again some cockerels. The two hatched Dec 22nd are definitely males and now it seems that 4 of the 6 I hatched on Jan 24th are also males! sigh I am willing to give them to anyone from this group--or someone you may know. They are mostly mixed with the father being Black...

hi all...I have not been in here for a while. Looks like I missed alot! Cluck...glad you were able to fend off the hawks. I have one that swings by from time to time here. So far, no damage! Three nights ago my dog raced outside and was barking like crazy at 2:30am. I woke up and went out to...

I just listed my 10 week old cockerels on Craig's list for 3.00 each. I had asked 5.00 before on here, but now will give them away for FREE to anyone on this forum who wants them. I will not ship them, but possibly could meet/deliver them for gas money. I also think 3 of my next 6 are going to...

just for information, I was at TSC in Noblesville last evening to pick up some feed. They had "reds", white leghorns, ducks (not sure what kind), 'bantams', and some other white ones I did not see any signage as for for breed. They may be Rocks, but I do not know. I restrained myself from...

no. it would not be a problem to add the new one or two. I would suggest marking them with an indentifier so you know they should hatch a day or so later than the others.

I have never had luck with the snap traps. I have had great success with the poison packets but make sure thay are up high or behind a wall. In my situation, the attached garage had some unwanted visitors and then they climbed to the attic. I placed poison packets on the garage shelves, as well...

Quote: good luck and happy hatching. have patience!

hahaha which was you?

good point about the walls probably getting wet, too.

hahaha..once she is finished with it, you will know what to do with it!

I was rasied in the city, but I was always outside when growing up, too! I hope the wweather cooperates for your chore.
