Hey all... anyone in Iowa ever try Speckeled Sussex?

Quote: Same problem here with my BCM roo and my Welsummer roo. Both are looking a little rough after the deep freeze we had in January. My Buckeye roo and hens didn't even notice the cold. But then they're bred for the cold.

Quote: I've considered it but my flock hasn't been tested ( I want NPIP testing soon) and I really don't have the time.

Quote: They are all doing GREAT--and they are just so freakin' adorable it's not even funny. I am *so* glad that you were able to meet me so I could get these guys, thank you again so much. One of the babies has become really frizzled--it was so darn cute. I came out one morning, and there...

Howdy Joyous.. I'm just North of Durant.

Quote: OH I think it was an all silkie show.. millions of them. they were giving each person through the gates at least 10 for free.... Call my Orp a weenie.... LOL Don't worry he'll figure it out. His blue brother is certainly figuring it out. He's about to wear a couple of my hens out...

Quote: Thanks, I'm very happy with him. I'm sure his brothers will be just as nice. I'm giving the split lavs up because I only have the 3 and I'm just out of room. Like every true chicken junky I got more eggs about 3 weeks ago. I'm hatching some Buckeyes for sustainable meat production...

Really.... my Two Wellie roos are first in line to take treats from my hand. That big boy runs right up and eats till he's full. As soon as they come up I'm mobbed by wellie hens and my BCM hens. I have a Blue Orpington roo and 2 hens that stay away when other chickens are around. If your...

Anyone interested in pure bred split lavender Amaraucanas? These birds are all black. Matting them should produce some lavenders. I have a Roo and two hens I'm thinking I should get ride of. If the hens aren't currently laying they will be soon. I can't tell B/C i have other blue egg layers in...

My wellies are just starting to lay and are currently in a mixed flock. I don't plan to segregate till spring when the hens are a bit older. But here are a few picks of my birds. This roo is the pride of my flock. I think he smokes all my BCMs. He still young (only 5 months) so I think he'll...

Thanks.. I was looking for a exempt back yard processor. i know there are a few out there but I can't seem to locate them.

Quote: Stu and Lucky say " uh, nooooooo" Clay, please tell your son that Lucky is now bigger than Stu - and he has his own 'harem'! Go lucky go.... His brothers are quite large as well. I just have too many of them, they are wearing the hens and each other out....

Anyone know of a processor between Iowa city and Davenport? I can do it but I'm willing to pay to have a few extra roos processed.

Quote: The Wellies hatched on 4/16 and 4/17. My Wellie roos are starting to ... ummmm ... squack too.. Pretty funny actually.

Anyone have some Buff Orps from good stock (not from a hatchery ) that are producing pure bred fertile eggs? I have a hen done gone broody on me. I figure as long as she is already broody I might as well give her something to do. And I was looking to eventually get Buffs anyway.

Quote: That's good I was out of town for a few days. Sorry I wasn't around to answer questions.

I love my netting. I feel very safe with it and I'm certain without it I'd have some losses already. My place is THICK with skunks, coons, possums, a fox or two, coyotes, stray dogs, cats........ You get the picture. I use a heavy duty charger though. It throws around 8,000 volts. Enough to...

Quote: Catherine That's actually beautiful shot. Garrett will be thrilled Stu is doing well. Clay

Quote: While you are here, here are some Must Do's: 1. Sweet corn on the cob slathered in butter 2. Pork chop -- must be 2" thick, juicy, wonderful 3. Steal Clay's blue chickens. Be nice........ I've been known to rehome extras for free.... to people I like that is....

Hey Cathy, not to make you Jealous but look at my blues Henny Penny And BIG BOB Here's My Blue/Wheaten AM And my Wheaten AM I'll be matting the Orps... How many do you want??
