Bhep- Glad you were able to save the chick! I'm not surprised the snake found its way back. Snakes leave a pheromone so they can find their den and have excellent olfactory senses. Did you hear about the house of snakes in Idaho on GMA the other morning? Luckily, garter snakes aren't...

Bhep, NH, and all ... It doesn't have to be a Black Orp, just looking for an orp roo really. However, I'm probably going to get him from Green Family Farm down in Bladenboro. She has a few available and is NPIP and the whole 9 yards. Just need to get their quarantine spot ready. Speaking of...

Quote: I dunno, when I see a Frizzle, I keep thinking of the Phineas and Ferb song "Izzie's got the Frizzies" So, with that in mind, I'm thinking Izzie or Isabel for the song

yep, that's me.

I think I e-mailed you on NCPoultry2. I'm interested in taking your most likely cockeral and perhaps 2 more pullets. Let's just hope I don't end up with 3 Cockerals! Thanks. Feel free to PM me how you want to handle this.

Bhep- You got Lavender and Black Orp cockeral possibilities? I'll pick up your most likely black candidate. Black + Buff = something cool right?

Hey Mat, Spot is a cutie, only 15 ounces though? wow, that would be a microscopic meat bird. Bhep - Hmmm, I may take a ride down there and check out what you have as far as roos go. Maybe I'll do it one Friday morning. Not sure when exactly tho.

Newbie in Screamer Al, : HMMmmmm......... My run is 1/2 covered, so I think they are OK out there. I put a fan in the coop for when they lay, but I faced it out to exhaust the heat, and pull outside air in thru the other windows. You think I should reverse it and blow air in? They seem to be...

Bhep- Glad to hear your internet is not wonky today. I think CenturyLink is now servicing my area, so we'll see if they'll give a line 1000 feet off the road for us to drop WildBlue! Glad to see your Blind Bob doing well. That PolishX sure is cool looking! You don't have any buff orp or...

HT- where are you located at? I'm tempted to take a Juvi Roo if you're not too far away. Of course, I have some questions. What's LF? I don't plan to show, I just want good layers and table birds if I get too populated, so is it a problem to mix them with Buff Orps and Speckled Sussex hens...

Well, my 8 week old chicks are showing NO roo signs. No big flaming red combs or wattles and I'd think they'd have it by now if they were roos. So, folks, this is what I'm looking for. A well mannered buff orpington or speckled sussex roo. I'm thinking a year or less in age (unless some of...

Can it happen? Yeah. Am I concerned? Not really. Good animal husbandry combined with common sense helps a lot. 39 people sickened out of how many hundreds or thousands that handle chicks? You probably have greater odds of being struck by lightning or winning the lottery.

Quote: I don't think Faison would be much further than my Benson farmhouse. It may also be easier to find. Despite being within a literal stone's throw of 40 (and I mean my mom used to tell me and my brother to go play on I-40 while it was being built it is so close), finding it can be a bit...

I'm planning to get a mister for my chicks. But I'd make sure they have a way to stay out of the water if they like. What I'm currently using in our heat wave is this. 1 - Puppy feed pan (large diameter but shallow) filled with tap water. My girls drink and wade in it. They seem to like it...

Quote: I'm up for that, I may have to 'borrow' a bird from someone or I could just watch. Depending on the size of the crowd, I may be able to get my mom to allow us to use the old garden behind grandma's farmhouse, though I don't think we'd have room for more than about 8 to 10 cars MAX. No...

@New Homesteader - if that is for a 50lb bag, that isn't a bad price at all. Keep me posted. We lost another chick/bird today. After the kids got home from school, as I was getting Serenity inside. Caleb runs around to the chicken pen and leaves the gate open! I later let my 2 dogs out...

I've got 6 to 7 week old speckled sussex! I'll try to get some pictures of them this afternoon/evening.

New Home- Where in JoCo are you? We're down in Meadow (off 40 between Benson and Newton Grove). If you need a sitter and you're not too far away, I could probably swing by and let the birds in and out of their coop. Would only ask for reimbursement on gas probably.

I picked up a watermelon today, after I finished cutting out the center, I gave the girls the rinds that still had a fair amount of flesh on them. They are LOVING it!

Well, I put out a puppy feeding bowl (it's pretty big but only like a little over an inch or two deep) and put some water in it, perhaps they'll wade in it some and cool off. It's in the shade. I also put them out a big frozen bottle of water near where most of them were laying. I ALSO put a...
