Thanks!  I wanna get some sex links next, I think, but having trouble finding them locally.  I can get more buffs and rocks no problem, luckily.  I didn't realize I needed a permit for my city, however, so the hubby has put his foot down and I have to get my permit before I can get any more birds.  I know it's for the best, but there are 3 RIR/NH red crosses available locally right now that I'm kind of drooling over, and they're the same age as my girls.

Awe :/ I hate having to get permits..

RIRS are the bomb, I have quite a few rirs myself. RiRs are definitely up there with the buff Orpingtons.

Sex links are pretty, I've never dealt with em myself though.

But yea I'd definitely look into those rirs .

I wants them soooo badly! Other big thing holding me back is the seller is unsure of gender, and I can't have roos. But otherwise....*makes grabby hands*

Awe true, its definitely a gamble... Have you tried searching around for breeders that have some rirs sexed? Or perhaps buy a full sized rir?

My 3 gals right now are only at 5 weeks, so I'm kind of scared to try bringing in full grown birds at the moment. I do know I want to bring in 3 more total when I bring them in, so I have even 3 on 3 for figuring out the new pecking order. Obviously after the new ones pass their quarantine, unless I get three more from the same folks I got my first 3 from

Oh okay yea I'd wait then, didn't know yours were younger.

It's always some risk when you try to add more. oddly mine are some what different ages, its hard to explain, then again they grew up in the same area.

I wish you luck when your ready to add more, it'll be so fun.

Hi everyone! I'm in PA, but will be coming to the Shanendoah (sp?) Valley in a few weeks. I desperately need call ducks, as someone sold some that were already going to be sold to me to someone else... I'm trying to seek revenge by gettning some gorgeous girls before the next time I see them.

I need at least 2 call hens, does anyone know of any in the area?

Thanks,
Mikayla
