    James Marie Farms still around?

    So he's not selling anymore? That's really too bad I have really been wanting to buy some of his birds direct from the source. If anyone knows if he's still breeding for himself or selling off his website please let me know. Thank you

    Are these pullet or cockerel? Help with gender.

    I've never owned one so I could be wrong but I believe sapphire gems are sex links meaning for sure a pullet.

    I'm sot sure about your tractor supply but ours just gets what they're shipped. Also sometimes chicks get put back in the wrong brooders especially if they are within reach of the public. Your sapphire gem is blue not black. Your second is a Delaware and is lovely. Both look to be pullets.

    I knew royal palms were sexable by feather edging color but I didn't know the browns were. Also are we sure the browns are nargansett? My adult jennie doesn't seem quite right compared to the photos on Porter's. Been a nasty few days here weather-wise. Hoping it means DH gets tomorrow off as...

    We too haven't prepared for this weather. Especially with DH's Mom's house closing today and him being in the fields on top of it. We have our good days and bad days with the loss still of course. I'm not sure if it will be easier or harder without the house. I'm guessing easier when we...

    Congratulations!!! She's beautiful. :) Also I totally understand if you don't have spare jennies. Really @Molpet I would be grateful for any even a couple of your "wild ones" hopefully my turkeys will settle them down. Mine aren't pets in the sense of wanting to be petted but they do seem to...

    Better the coon goes after the trap than your birds. Oh goodness why would the turkeys get sick? Oh my and here I thought it was just me. I went my whole life living relatively close to water and never seeing nor hearing of mink in the area. Now although I think it's the same one or maybe a...

    I remember you saying you were having to do that. It sounds quite funny. I imagine it is not so funny when you're doing it. Lol while our adult turkeys are handleable it doesn't mean they enjoy it also the adults I'm not too worried about except that broody. I saw her out yesterday for sure. I...

    Oh WOW thank you! That would be so awesome I would really love another couple as back ups for my lone calico jenny I have right now. Unfortunately little Christmas (we couldn't make ourselves call him little Chrissy) was in the tractor and so was the juvenile calico jenny. I wonder if we...

    @Faraday40 I'm so so terribly sorry about your Digger and CL pullet. Digger was such a beautiful little hen and your legbar was a pretty girl. Unfortunately we also lost all of the pullets from the new bloodline of CL we added this year so we have cockerals but no pullets. However our little...

    Oh goodness I suppose I should have read through my message a bit better. I didn't mean to make you think. Well oops. Buddy survived the attack which is a Godsend. Sometimes it's the small miracles. Perhaps if we hadn't gone out when we did we may have lost more birds. As I stated one of the...

    Hello all my friends Night before last was a very bad night here. Sadly. Unfortunately after months of being in the hardware cloth sided tractors that have always been safe we had what appears to have been a mink attack. The first one in as long as I can remember. It was storming out(its...

    We took Mom off life support and she passed about 8:45 last night. It was very quick.
