For sale to good home, 1 Black Australorp rooster.
He is nearly 8 months old, great personality, and would be a great addition to your flock, unfortunately I am not keeping any roosters- and will have to cull those that don't sell.
He is from an excellent Australorp breeder, parents are...
For sale to good homes, 2 Black Australorp roosters
They are nearly 5 months old. They all have great personalities, very different, are protective and good foragers for my hens, and would be a great addition to your flock, unfortunately we don't have enough room for them- from excellent...
Adult Ameraucana rooster for sale- nearly 2 years old.
Excellent guardian and forager for my hens, very amorous too! He loves the ladies, which is why we are selling him- we only have two hens, so I would recommend him for a flock with more than that.
We just hatched our first set of chicks...
For sale to good home, 1 Ameraucana. Located in WV Eastern Panhandle.
He is 6 months old, and has a great personality, protective and good forager for my hens, and would be a great addition to your flock.
Please private message if you are interested and would like additional details.
Thanks! I knew I wanted to stay away from the "dusty, silica" kind, but that didn't really tell me which one that was. My next plan was to drive down to some riverbed and start shoveling river sand into rubbermaid totes. I have a feeling I wouldn't have been able to get them loaded once they...
Quick question- I was having the same issue with a particularly aggressive roo, and initially I tried the "separation" technique, where I let the girls and the other roo out, but kept the aggressive rooster in the run. The first 5 minutes were terrible! He was squawking and growling, and then he...
Looking really good! Run too-- keep up posts so we can see completed.
How many birds are you getting, and what are your dimensions? Did you have a plan or are you "winging it"?
Some of these posts had me laughing SO hard!!
I have held my chicks so many times, when suddenly--- they are looking at you, and you are looking at them...and that realization that "Hey, they are pecking distance from my eye" occurs to you, and right about then, I look at that beak, and hurry...
Love some of these names!!
When we brought our 6 babies home, we "optimistically" gave them all girlish names (3 Ameraucanas & 3 Australorps)
We had Bright Eyes (the one that would always watch us and run to us from day one), Clever Girl (reference to the female raptor from Jurassic...
Does anyone have pictures of their CX's dressed and can you give general idea of age & weight? Also anyone that has processed dual purpose chickens (such as Australorps) can you respond with pics or info on age you processed and weight post dressed?
Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing...
These were my 3 BA babies that I was SO hopeful to all be pullets that would be wonderful layers---
Now 20 weeks later, 2 of those 3 turned out to be ROOS! Ah well, at least I got1 BA pullet.
My pullets have not started laying yet, so not posting from experience but I have a question-- when I was growing up, my grandparents had TONS of chickens, as well as ducks and guinea fowl. Although they had at least 6 nesting boxes in the chicken coop I can remember the 2 at the far back were...
That is too funny! Yes I have had that issue with other plants in the garden-- it all started out "innocently" and I was praising them for their helpfulness pecking and scratching all my little weeds out of the garden, and then one pecked at a broccoli leaf! And it went downhill from...
I have two roosters I am considering culling, rather than selling, but I too am afraid for that first kill. I grew up visiting my grandparents farm, and they killed off the excess roosters. They used the axe/stump method, and I wasn't scarred by the random rooster that flopped out of my...
