Anyone interested in adult chickens? My family is moving and we have to get rid of all of ours. I have 22 birds left. Mostly Black Langshans and Welsummers. There is a Buff Brahma hen, a Buckeye rooster, and a few barnyard mixes. None of the 22 are over 2 years of age. We are asking $5 per bird...

I agree with you dj. And at $62 a chick I want the best.

Congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing. Hearing of new layers makes my day as well. I am so happy for you!

My first Buckeyes came from Meyers. My Rooster was wonderful. He lost his life defending a Black Minorca from a fox. He was my husband's favorite rooster and helped us all fall in love with this breed. Our pullets from there were not as friendly and needed much handling to be okay with us being...

RattlesnakeRidgeWV here on BYC has the best that I know of. His birds grow much larger and descend from birds that are free ranged. He may know someone near you that has his stock. His are various colors. I am not sure if he ships. As for hatchery stock, our McMurray birds forage much better...

Has anyone had abnormal predator issues this year? Because our weather has fluctuated so much her on the MD Shore our hawk season has been prolonged. Our harshest hawk (and Eagle) season here is in October. Our area is a stopping point for migrating hawks. By the first week of November we are...

Bullit, I agree mostly with you on the Aussies. Our reason for keeping them is because they have made the best mother's on our Farm. We have a set of girls that brood for months, and never get too nasty. We have a separate place to put broodies, their eggs, and chicks. The best part is after...

Oh, this past summer we went to a feed store to pickup more buckeyes, and they were not worth it. They said that they came from Mt. Healthy. Our better Buckeyes came from Meyers Hatchery.

No problem. I think that all chicken keepers need to be happy with their flocks. Our first year we did a trial with over 30 breeds. Some breeds did as expected, some surprised us, and others didn't make the cut. At the end of the first year we looked to see who had survived, who laid well, which...

I have never had any Barred Rocks, but plenty of people around us have them, and renew their stock annually. There is a guy about 10 miles from us that does keep his on covered pasture. He has about 200 hens and gets between 13 to 15 dozens of eggs a day. I enjoyed our Dominiques. They foraged...

Where is everyone getting their Welsummers? I want to make sure that I do not get them from there. I was told that ours weren't good bc they didn't come from a reputable breeder. But I don't have those issues not do I need or want them. What breeds have worked for you all? Personally, I love...

. Oh no! I am terribly sorry to hear this. However, I notice that you keep a light on in the coop. That is one thing that I do not do. Actually, I do very little. Because I want my chickens to act natural, I do my best to give them a natural up bringing and life. I provide a coop, nest boxes...

My husband and I have been trying to figure out a x that is best for our family, but has yet to x any of our breeds.

That is cool. How has that been working? What has been the desired meat of your household?

I am glad. If the Ebola virus was completely linked to chickens we would already be screwed. I wish you the best with this.

haha! I live on the lower Eastern Shore I am 30 minutes from anything major. It will be like driving home :)

We had thought about ordering from them a couple of years ago, but we found a couple of places that were more convenient for us. Not as nice but convenient. Now I am more than happy to take the drive. I just need my husband to get on board.

I would love to take a ride to Whitmore to purchase some birds. We really do want to try Delawares again.

Hahaha! Is this a joke?

Thank you all for the inspiration. I have never not had a pastured chicken, and I have never had cx. You have given me something to consider. Has anyone created their own meat bird from your favorite meat breed?
