Ok folks!
I have Bantam roosters up for grabs... Ameraucana's in either Black or Blue.
PM me if your interested!

Zgoat- where is this auction you speak of? I really need to check it out!

 I sold them.   28 bucks for all 4!!!

 

Yay for the birds!  LOL!  They avoided a very cold ending to their life. 

 

We have talked about putting an apron on.  I've designed and redesigned this poor run to death, making changes as we brought up different issues.  The problem with using an apron is we'd have to make the run smaller, otherwise the wire sticking out would prevent us from being able to open our back gate, and we really want to keep the run as large as possible.  As it is, our run will only be 44 sq. feet.  Even though we still plan to let them free range when we're in the backyard with them, or use the chicken tractor on the grass when we're not, we want to have the permanent run to have plenty of room on those days it is too cold or windy for them to be in the tractor.

 

Keeping with the 10 sq. foot run space per bird, we decided a 44 sq. foot run would be perfect (which is good - as that is as big as we can fit).  We wanted to make sure we had enough run space so, should we lose a bird, we could bring in 2 so any new bird would have a friend.  4 birds in a 44 sq. foot run should be OK, I hope.

 

I don't know, maybe my husband and I need to talk this thing to death some more.  LOL!    Our original plan, before we almost lost a bird, was to just set the run on paver blocks.

Okay, I think I'm curious about that road trip! But maybe you should PM me with details 

I would not have done that to those birds. They were too good of quality.  I also found out after I had sold that everybody who had shown from that line placed very well.

 

Oh well The new birds should do EVEN BETTER !

X2!

 

Glad to provide an appropriate present!

What details ? The ones I am not at liberty to tell ! ! !    Ask away the most I can do is say nothing.

I assume it was a black op to avoid lengthy entanglement. Were the pickins more attractive or just closer? Wondering if it's worth the effort.

I got what very few have !  B FAV's in blue and black. White and buff may be next.
