I like EE's, but only for the egg color. They don't lay as early, or as often. Plus they're a bit more skittish than RSL. I've decided this year on Barred Plymouth Rocks...

Hi, One of our 13 week old barred plymouth rock hens turned out to be a Roo. I'm trying to sell two as a breeding pair for $20. We're in Sandy. Any takers? We don't want to sent it to freezer camp unless we have to. Here's the link on KSL Thanks for looking Marty

Note sure this is the right thread, but I like this pic...

Well that worked. Just testing to see how to upload pictures and links. Thought this was a nice pic. Am going to submit it to some BYC contests. Bye for now. Marty

Nice... Once your egg production gets going this fall, offer him some eggs anyway. It might smooth things over.

Hey Gypsy... I was looking for Americana's yesterday. IFA Draper is getting 5 in today, and I think IFA 21st South also, but don't remember for sure. Call first. (I wouldn't buy from them any other day except the day they come in. They're not very good taking care of new peeps). Also, I called...

Red, I've got a Hav-a-Heart coon trap if you want to borrow it.

Thanks! Life just happens, and you get out of the habit of chatting chickens. You keep buying food, cleaning coops, rotating compost, building up garden bed, selling old lady chickens, buying new baby chicks. It's the circle of urban farm life. It's amazing the prices of things anymore. And I...

Ha! I love to see the strange places where my girls lay their eggs. It always seems to be in the furthest corner of the coop where I can't reach, or even in an old feed box. I usually put an old piece of 2x4 or a brick in the exact place they are not supposed to be laying. They usually find...

Hello all! It's been awhile since I've stuck my nose around here. The last time I was here, was before all the changes, and I like the changes! I only recognize some of the names anymore, so I'll re-introduce myself. I'm in Sandy, in a county island zoned A-1 (best of all worlds) We've got 40+...
