Hi everyone!
Any one interested in adopting a big beautiful black Orpington roo? He is a year old, his father is 3/4 English and his mother was either also 3/4 English or an American Orpington. He is truly gorgeous but is becoming a bully to my favorite blue roo so he must go. I'd rather...

For the Orps, Rennie is in Orford NH, just across the river from Fairlee. You can find her through this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=259995&p=308

I bought bbs orp eggs on ebay from Florida...
I'm looking for b/b/s Ameraucana eggs or b/b/s orpington eggs. I've had terrible luck with shipped eggs and would much prefer to pick some up locally. I'm hoping to find some soon...

Hi latebloomer!
You could try messaging Renie's Peeps (hope I spelled that right). She may not have anything right now, but may in the coming months?

I'm looking to get EMUs at some point in the future, probably once my kids are a bit bigger, so 2 or 3 more years, but I was wondering if anyone local has emus I might come visit, see if I like them as much as I think i do?
Not sure where you are, but there is this place...
So, I have a couple of broodies and I am bored with hatching my own eggs and have such terrible luck with shipped eggs that I can't justify spending the money on any more of those. Does any one have fertile eggs for pickup they'd like to sell? I put an ad on craigslist but haven't found...

Busy here as well! Tilling the garden, hatching/brooding! I wanted to plant my carrots, parsnips and peas this weekend but the weather so far is not all that cooperative. Blueberries do well here also in our acidic soil; we'll be adding several more this year
Good luck with the...
Russo's Roost :
Everything is pretty good in Morrisville at Russo's Roost. Me and my rooster are seeing eye to eye lately after he thought he was the better of the two of us. Here's what I have found. He becomes aggressive towards running shoes with night reflectors on them, even in the...
For those of you with heritage/dual-purpose breed turkeys: when do you generally start getting eggs? March? April? May?
I have two Narragansett girls, ages 11 months and 9 months and I am anxiously awaiting that first egg!
Thanks!
I wasn't about to ask DH to fire up the generator at 1:30a.m. for my eggs... he doesn't share my passion for chickens After candling last night it appears I've only lost one that had development, so it wasn't a total loss
Well it happened... We lost power for 4+ hours and the bator temp got down to 75. I'm so bummed. I know if I am lucky enough to have some hatch I won't have nearly the hatch rate I would have
So we were lucky enough not to lose power during the last couple of days. Which was great, because I have the incubator running. But we are supposed to have really high winds tonight and I am worried...
How did others do? Power back? Still waiting? Never lost it?
