I just got an antique sock making machine. I've been busy in my craft room organizing and cleaning the parts. I can see 2 "teeth" that are chipped. I'm hoping once this is all set up it is still operable. Keeping everything crossed!

Many different types. EE, cochins, a few polish, Wyandottes, silver spangled Sussex, a few sex links, silkies, Hamburg, more. I started out with a surprise box with many varieties, and then picked up more during fall tsc chick days.

I don't think so, they were from tsc and cackle hatchery. Im near Milwaukee.

Some of mine are wyandotte S

Hi guys, I've been quiet since school started and then stopped getting notifications. I've missed all the daily doing updates! Yesterday was a sad day here. I was careless and left 1 of my dogs where she had access to the birds. She was always watchful but never chased, so I thought it'd be ok...

What made you decide to give up chickens?

Morning all! I've found a swap to go to on Sunday, hoping I leave with fewer than I bring! Lol I've been pretty busy tiling my kitchen floor, and it doesn't look like a drunken monkey did it so I'm pretty pleased. I report back to work on Monday. I'm not really ready for summer to be over, but...

I personally would buy coop plans. There are also some free ones. This way you get the plans from someone who has experience with chickens and can think of things you might not. That is assuming you are brand new to chickens and don't have experience yourself. Keep us posted, especially on rough...

Incidentally here is the thread that has pics and gender guesses for all those chicks! I did lose another one to drowning in the geese pen pool. I put a small ramp in there and plan to use more chicken wire on the bottom of the run so the chicks can't get in there...

Ha! Try Craigslist, but we're too far apart to be more help than that!

I probably will do the cackle surprise again next year. It's been so much fun figuring things out. Maybe we could go in on one and split it evenly! Sometimes they include waterfowl and turkeys, but i can't have them.

Anyone on here interested in some started chicks? I was supposed to go to 7 mile fair and didn't get up on time, whoops! I go back to work in 3 weeks, getting up early again is going to be tough. Summers do it to my night owl self Everytime. Anyway, these guys are straight runs from a Cackle...

Jean, I read on here that they should be on grower until all are laying. You can offer crushed oyster shell on the side so that the layers get enough calcium. Some continue this set up always. I'm still looking for buyers for the Sebastopol geese. I'm fairly certain I have a trio . I wish I...

I've got to finish fixing the toilet, put up a tent in the backyard for dd Rowan's sleepover tomorrow. There will be 8 neighborhood kids from ages 5-10. Then I have a fundraiser training to attend this evening. I'll be bartending on Saturday for the Hunger task force at one of the local...

Hey Jim, I went out and got a new adjustable wrench. Now I've got it loosened but the inside part keeps twisting too! I need 8 arms! I feel like I'm channeling my dad though, much cussing is happening lol

I hate not having the right tools for a job! I'm replacing some of the inner workings on a toilet. I get how to do it, it's pretty simple. But I've been struggling all afternoon trying to get a bolt off the bottom of the tank. I seem to have small wrenches, and a giant, heavy wrench with nothing...

OMG so adorable! I don't plan to get any more dogs when my two go. I still have lots of time hopefully, but need to stay away from puppy pics lol. Mine are 5 and 6 year old border Collies, but no puppies for them!

Try posting on Craigslist but in the farm and garden section.

Hi Belinda, We're neighbors! Have you tried Craigslist for your roo? Otherwise, I'll be selling some chicks at 7 Mile fair in a couple weeks when they are off heat lamps. I could bring him for you.
