Okay, so I know y'all have chickens, but what other fowl have we got out there? (Yes, I know, I could read all 500 pages of this thread, but BYC already is taking up a lot of my work day hide.gif)
Ducks, quail? Anyone? I would love to add some khaki campbells to my lineup, and would be tickled pink if there were any in the area I could come meet.

thanks everyone smile.png i am going on a major mouse trapping spree, tried useing glue traps last night but they would jump on it then flip into the shavings and get loose, well 2 hours ago i set two of my favorite snap traps and just checked them and i got two mice. i have a shelf in my coop that i took fencing and put it around the bottom shelf so the girls cant get at the traps. its not like i have a lot of mice, just a normal amount but i will always trap them because some mice just like chicken coops lol.

@La Casa- We normally would have eggs for  sale at this time but we're working on our breeding project at the moment so we've been collecting all our eggs for hatching ;) Hopefully by this summer though it could be iffy. I'll definitely let you know though ;)

Good to know! I did get a couple at IFA but they are turning out to be not the colors I thought I was getting /were in the wrong bin. They sure have fun personalities though, very social and quirky. Definitely want to keep some of this breed in my flock smile.png I will keep my eyes out for updates on your eggs/chicks smile.png

I can't take credit for hatching the pencil..I did get eggs from him, but they were a mess, didn't get the second ones sent..P.O.?  Soo, he sent me chicks..remember that mess a while back?  It was so nice of him to just go ahead and send me his chicks.  They are pretty.  My girl is getting big fast!  My husband and I were just out there today looking at her.  She's going to be a big girl.  Not sure she is going to catch up to my BO though!  Man she is huge!  She will be going back to Hector soon.  I had her first, then Hector, then me..lol..now Hector wants her back when I am getting close to having another pullet start laying..the ones I hatched.  My NH is getting big, my black EE..yes, I am thinking girl again, even with that pretty tail, then my Speckled Sussex will be laying this summer.  The old girls are going..not even that old, and the new coming in.  I want to keep my Miss Piggy, the white leghorn.  She's a good hen.  Doesn't bother anyone.  Maybe shoo a newbie away, but doesn't pick on them. I like my red sexlink too..she will be one of the last to go.   I may keep one of my barnyard mixes that I have in the bator, they will make great layers, sex link type of birds.

oh yeah now i remember. yeah my spr is getting big too and the buff sure is growing. most my girls will have a home with me for as long as they live, it would just be way to hard to give them up.
