Yahoo, that looks great. Yep Rochester is where I live. If you come for the bouncy thingy, stop by. I'll put on a pot of coffee and we can sit and talk. Heck, give me some heads up and I'll make a coffee cake to go with the coffee. 

How did you come up with this idea? It looks great.

You know if you had the space you could get multiples of these and make some really nice tractors. Very cool.

There is a big old list for all to see on the right of all the folks viewing (lurking on!) this thread.  Maybe I'm still too new to the online-thingamadealy-etiquette, but I didn't realize it was rude, either.

It's not so don't worry about it.

She could actually sell advertising space as a bill board......................

NOW THAT IS AN IDEA I LIKE!!!! I need to pay for this monstrosity some how.  I need to start selling birds.

and yes you spelled magnet wrong......

So tonight I believe the crazy hoarse sound I heard coming from my EEer "Martha" was her attempting to crow; I think a name change might be in order; Marty is quite a gentlemanly name and will suit him/her well if she is indeed a he

Also, as I stood in the doorway of the coop, one of my Buff Orpingtons looked like she was going to jump down to the floor from the high roost, or onto me. I held out my arm. She jumped. She flapped. She landed. Above my head on the top of the door!! Crazy chicken. I got her down so she wouldn't hurt herself.

I have 3 Cuckoo Marans cockerels that I need to sell.

Thanks!! I've been dying to know for a long time. She's seriously HUGE compared to all our other same-age pullets but I know EEers are hard to sex. Here s/he is! 7 weeks old:

And I think she was 3-4 weeks old here:

The only thing that makes me nervous though is that if she is a cockeral, Lay-a is too They seriously look identical except for size.

Oh no!  I don't like hearing that!  My little "Caunnie" looks a lot like yours.  I'm not feeling so good about the chicken home-front right now, either, as one of my three is injured.  Last thing I need right now is to learn that I have a roo on my hands.  I can't keep roosters.

Well I think I actually could keep Martha if she's a he, but I don't know that we will. I already got rid of one cockeral; it was a RIR with NO personality and I just didn't expect him to grow up very nice, so we brought him back to Seattle Farm Supply. Renee, it's hard to think about, but if you do have one and need to get rid of him, you can always replace him with more pullets of the same age. It's hard when they're your babies but they also have a job to do and if they (for whatever reason) can't do that job (meaning, cockerals can't give you eggs, LOL), then they aren't worth feeding extra feed and keeping them around :( That's my take on it. We have explained in detail to the kids that our birds are our pets but also have jobs; if they don't do their job of being a girl and giving us eggs, they have to go. The only reason we'd keep Martha/Marty is if s/he's a good flock protector; we plan to allow them to free-range a LOT in the half acre backyard :)
