Welcome back! Yaks, oh my that's cute, what else do you have? You must be so busy with the animals, sounds like a fun place to visit! I'm in butte, well out skirts really, just chickens but I'm still considered city limits so not as many as I like. Looking forward to seeing at least five eggs a day soon, but like last year we get super cold here early so just when the eggs come so does the sun and the cold lol. I'm happy to say I had electricity put in, and they will be getting lights and heat when it gets super cold. I only went a few months with out eggs, but I missed them. This year I hope not to miss many lol.Hello fellow Montanans! Gosh, I was active on here over a year ago (or something... been a while!) and then I got busy, but now I'm back. Something about Spring/Summer months makes me think "Ooo I need to read up on THAT breed of chicken!" So here I am, on the prowl for Buckeyes and Silkies.
We are out West of Missoula, and have some odd critters, but we love them very much! If anyone in the area ever wants to come out to meet/pet a yak, let me know
Who else is around Missoula??
Yeah, the yaks are fun. I have a pair of Muscovies- the duck is setting on a clutch of 14 right now, so in a month or so, hopefully I'll have 16 Then I have 11 laying hens, a new Blue Copper Marans roo, Then 25 chicks out in the barn and more hatching right now in the bator. All my chicks are FBCM (old roo) pure or crosses on EE or Australorp hens. So I'll have a bunch of Olive Eggers in a few months I want Buckeyes and Silkies. Also want some more Marans colors and maybe some Giant Cochins...
maybe pet a yak lol. My mom really wants a maran, she loves the real dark eggs to. I love silkies, but Im not sure there good with my big girls. I have some tough astrolorps and there moody along with my buffs.
Ok, I know this is off subject but but don't have much time to write, so here it goes. Does anyone know of a breeder or person with chickens between Miles City Montana and eastern North Dakota who would be willing to sell my mother some pet/layer/pest control chickens? I don't think breeds are much of a concern, although I think she's most interested in standard breeds over bantams. She is willing to drive to pick them up. Thank you for your time.
wow lots of fun animals !! I may take you up on the offer in the spring, my hen is always broody. I really want some blue eggers, and some olive eggers!! your close, I would not mind taking a trip to missoula come spring
Yeah, I am working on blue (colored) OEs as a little pet project. Goal is hardy, pretty birds with dark olive green eggs I'm looking to get some blue layers, too- so I may have some of those by next Spring. I have pure Marans chicks/eggs, too for your Mom.
