Hello everybody, I am going to be at the show in hopes of finding a new BLRW ROOSTER. My beautiful boy was recently killed and his girls are all alone. I need a really good one, and hope someone will have an extra. A younger boy would be better, as he has to blend in with the other older...

WOW! I didnt know that there were any Great Argus in the States?! That is great, I have seen old pictures of them, and they are huge! Where did you get them? Are you going to sell the eggs?

Quote: This is classic dog behavior! I have watched dogs climb up and over fencing, so unless you have a roof on your coop, it could easily have been a dog. Also, Coyotes and fox dont kill for fun, they would have taken the birds away and eaten what they wanted. Dogs think they are...

Sounds to me like something scared them, and they dont feel secure inside the coop anymore. Have you had some traumatic event? Predator, Rats?

Hello all. I have a whole bunch of young roosters that need to go. I saw the question about the Rooster Fairy going to walpole, and was wondering if he was coming to Tilton as well? I dont want to pack them all up and take up cage space if he is not going to be there. I will have some...

Hey Everyone, tomorrows weather is looking kinda 'icky', is there likely to be much of a turn out do you think? I just cant decide if I should pack everyone up tonight or not?! Any suggestions? A~

I wonder why you havent tried bait stations? Use the inexpensive blocks of poison, in a container that the cats cant get into, place it where you know the rodents travel, they will eat in the station and take it back to the colony, and in 2 weeks everybody is dead for about $10.00 in...

I think you will find that having more hens to one rooster will also help. One rooster to 6 hens is apparently not enough for your boy. Studies have shown that one healthy young rooster can keep the fertility up for 25 hens!! Documented in yellow paperback 'Guide to better Hatching" 25 hens...

Hello All, I just want to make sure, that the swap this coming Saturday the 17th is the one is Tilton? Then next is Chichester? I dont want to miss these ones! I will be bringing lots of Multicolor Frizzle Roosters to the next few swaps, two are full size clean legged birds, One is blind...

Also, Please remember that Mareks Vaccines are not 100% guaranteed, The company that makes it states it is 90% effective. Good Luck with your bird, if he survives the first attack, he/she can live a productive life, but will always be wobbly, and a risk to your other unvaccinated chicks. Amanda

I hope someone is going to bring duck eggs, I told a lady here in town that there is usually duck eggs at the swap, and she says she is coming to this one.... A~

Quote: Ha ha ha!! Wouldnt that be nice if some one local was selling these birds.. and for less than $100.00 per egg or chick!! http://greenfirefarms.com/store/category/chickens/orpingtons/ Cant imagine paying a Thousand dollars for a pair of birds!!.... not with the coyote's foxes and...

I will be bringing some 4 week old Blue Swedish Ducklings and some golden Buff ducklings as well. They are not crested, or pekin, but cute as can be!! All Females too.

Bubbly eyes is cause by an upper respiratory issue, pushing fluids into those passages is not a good idea (sorry) The air is cause by block sinus, so more fluid probably wouldnt feel good. Try to do a little diagnostic work to help us narrow down the problem. Is the bird weasing and...
