Anybody looking to get rid of chickens please PM me because I am looking to get some more (FOR MY OWN FLOCK) and I also have a few friends possibly interested in some, But I don't have any for sale and all mine are fancy breeds and not layers! I am looking for old laying hens, meat birds, fancy birds, whatever you have, I just want to have a nice flock and eggs and meat are not a priority for me, so if you or anyone you know has any chicks, or chickens, ducks, rabbits anything! I am looking to get some more, thanks!

I officially have my first pure Marans !  celebrate.gif It hatched about 30 minutes ago and is a silver/grey color.  I also have 2 more that are partially hatched, 1 the same color, and one black.  I hope I get at least 1 male and 2 females. Still nothing from my Orpingtons, which I set a day before them. idunno.gif Oh, and the Hubby and Father-in-law are almost done w/ the new run for the chickens.  It's a good day.

Aww! I'm sorry. But I guess that's how turkey math works. Mine are due next Friday, only 3 eggs developed out of the 8 I put in.

Not sure where you're located, there's an Augusta swap on Saturday. I'll have some olive eggers that are somewhere around 11 weeks old, I think. They were born a few days before valentines day.

I can't wait to hear what you get too. and remember if it hatches white, it's probably NOT just  white.

As long as it's poultry, I'm happy.

Well ladies, your gonna think I am nuts. I posted earlier about all the baby turkeys dying, guess what, my friend came home from work and found 9 hatched and 1 more half out. I just spoke to her and they are doing good. I guess she jumped the gun. She wants to keep an eye on them till this weekend then they will be ready to go.

Black Spanish Turkeys for $8 each.
