Yes! I tried about 10 minutes ago. Received the same message as you. I thought it was my tablet.

Two Naked Neck Roos need new homes. The 1 y.o. is a red/buff, large, well formed with a nice bow tie. He's sweet and has been handled quite a bit, especially by our 10 y.o. child. The 8 w.o. roo is black and cute with his little bow tie. Both are fed organic feed, scratch, kelp, and table...

Yes, congratulations! The first egg is a wonderful miracle. Enjoy those chickens!

Sand is a fantastic idea. Thank you so much. We will do that this year. I wish I had a pic to post of our silkie hen Sugar. When it rains, she gets covered in mud. We call her Pig Pen then, after the Charlie Brown character.

May I ask, what is this big show in Stockton?

Yes, I understand your concern. Can you ask him about his experience shipping in winter? Is your mail service prompt? I wonder if you can alert them ahead of time. I did that with my Aracunas. Still, our weather was clement. I also wonder if there are shipping laws governing chicks...

Why? Is he located a ways away and will ship them?

Seriously ? I would love that!

We purchased two naked neck birds from our local feed and seed. They were sold as sexed, but as Susan grew, it became apparent we had a rooster on our hands. A large bodied, huge, amorous rooster. He has a great temperament, is handsome (though I do not know breed standards), Basically he's...

That is a more accurate description. I love my Icelandics, and they are not really flighty if that means nervous or temperamental. But escape artists, yes. My favorite little white hen flew (somehow) through such a small opening in the mesh roof of our run that storm damage had created. I...

A lemon Orphington? Whatever your chickens were, that's very sad.

Glad you were able to obtain the mom. Good work! And so kind. I, too, believe most people are good. Have fun with your new brood. After you debug them that is. I bet they'll be following you around :)

What a wonderful mix of breeds you work with. Do you foresee a time, perhaps, when UofA Blue chicks might be available? And the Penedesenca. They lay that dark brown egg, yes? I would like a few of those. Basques a great breed. I had a local friend who imported and bred them. At the...

Flighty? The Icelandics or the Basqes? The Icelamdics yes, in my limited experience. They are beautiful, wid-like foragers, always wanting out of the coop. The Basques we have are mellow. Don't love being handled by us. But not flighty in my experience. You say you live in the city. Is...

You did a very good thing by taking them in. I don't understand some people. Were they hoarders? Well, they are a handsome lot--the chicks with their naked necks are wonderful. Mom is lovely, too, though I can't guess what she is. Why would she have so many naked necks! I'm sure they will...

Hello all, I have a handsome naked neck roo that needs a new home. We have enough roosters right now. When we got her/him from the local feed and seed, all the birds were sexed. Well, apparently not. Our Susan turned out to be a boy named Sue. He is handsome and well formed, though I can't...

I am trying to specialize in Heat Hardy Breeds. It gets hot for a lot of the summer here. Hi Ron, Icelandics are very hardy as are Basques. Don't know if that fits with your breeding plans.... And thanks for the lead on Frizzles. I am in touch with Chiquita. Best to you.

Hello, I'm on the lookout for Frizzles. Or Sizzles. I would love some frizzled bantam Cochins. Or Seramas. Or...? I am having difficulty turning up any leads. I do not have the means to hatch eggs. I live in the Santa Cruz area. I couldn't take a roo because we have one too many right...

Hi! Thanks for the welcome :) I've had Aracua and Americuna. Both lay beautiful blue eggs. The Aracuna do not, in my experience lay as much. Americunas are fine. However, for some reason that I have never discovered, I found the hens a bit aggressive. (We had blue and grey Americunas from...

Waaaaaah! But you're in West Michagan. I mean, I'm happy for you and more with such lovely, lovely chickens :) I'm looking for some Frizzles here in California, (no luck yet), and yours are among the neatest I have seen. Of course everyone loves there own little chicks, so no offense meant...
