I guess - in my personal opinion - they went HIGH. Guieneas were going well over 25$ per bird (I think maybe only one cage went under that price)... Roosters were not a hot item, $1-4 per bird altho a cage of two Buff Orphington Roos went for $14 per bird...hens were high. $20 for Americana hen...

What was everyone's thoughts on the sale at New Salem yesterday??? I hadn't been to one in probably 10+ years - curious to think what other's thought of prices. Did you bring anything to the sale; and did you bring anything home!!?

Wow....that's pretty neat - thanks for the info

What does one do, with a Yak??? Meat...hair....??? Or are they more of a pasture ornament.

Yeah, I'll probably head up. I have a new batch of egg layers that are going to be introduced to the flock (they are just itty-bitties right now) so I might go thru and cull out a few of my bossy hens and maybe a few that aren't as efficient as these new ones will be. I love my EE pullets but...

They were around purely for entertainment and enjoyment. I lost the hen to broodiness this summer and just lost the roo this...

Whom in ND has any bantams?

Beautiful!!!! I juuuuuuuust took in a "rooster in need" and am short on coop space so no go for me - but good luck!

THANK YOU! Yeah - they were just little semi-transparent crawlers. With a little brown spot on the middle of their body. So lice/mites/whatever... not supposed to be there. I haven't had any problems in the past - The birds are free-rangers but since we have taken a plunge in temps and covered...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hello! Quick question - I do not currently have the time to browse/search thru all of the BYC forums etc ---- looking for some info on mites? I had the unfortunate passing of one of my chickens today and I noticed he had some little buddies crawling on him. I'm assuming it's an "if one has they...

I just escaped from MN and now I need to go "back" haha ??? I'll head over and check it out - thanks

Wonderful looking birds. Do you find that you have any problems listed that come along with that breed? (more susceptible to mites/lice and clogged vent feathers, specifically) It's hard to know how more hands-on some birds are when you read the breed reviews b/c some owners are more critical...
