Thanks for everyone who has responded, but do any of yall know where I can buy some really good quality SLW? The wiring where they have been getting out/disappearing is about 8 years old so it is probably time to completely replace...

Hendaddy, if you had a whole in fence and only lost 1 bird a day I would suspect a predator[/that has to be it. I had two of my barnevelders disappear last night and they had no access to the whole on the other side.
I'm not sure. I've thought about that but there's only one other family in my neighborhood who has chickens and I'm don't think they would do that. I need to go make a visit but I doubt it.
Trust me
trust me I get it. I've had chickens for almost 8 years and have never had this happen. I think once they got out the wondered off and got picked up by something. Hawks are really bad out where I live. Along with dogs and coyotes. But yep. All 11 of them just gone.
Well for about three weeks they slowly were disappearing. So I maybe thought someone was stealing but I found a SMALL hole in the bottom of the fence. I'm not sure how they could've gotten through it but they must have because all are gone. My flock of double laced blue barnevelders are just...
Hello everyone!! I am thinking about getting into SLW but haven't completely made up my mind. I recently lost my entire flock I bought directly from Jerry Foley. They were absolutely gorgeous!! Almost laying age. After looking at many pictures I have fell in love with SLW. Does anyone know or...
My pens are fully enclosed. It's just the fence that separates the two pens was big enough for them to get through the other side. I had thought I had wired it together buy I guess I didn't. And that's the part that stinks because there was absolutely no trace of them. Oh well, things happen for...
I could not be anymore upset/mad. Two days ago I switched two of my pens around. One my Barnie birds and the other BLRW. This was also the first time I let my barnies out into their separate run. Everything seemed fine that night.
The next morning my dad texted me when i was at work and said 5...
Hey everyone! I recently have bough some of Trisha's birds (not directly from her, but her same line) I read this almost everyday and absolutely love all of the information on here!
But for the person who was asking about the black laced birds when breeding with blue and blue, I also have...
Hey everyone! I was wondering who could tell me who is the best people to order Barnevelder CHICKS from? I dont want to settle for hatchery quality birds, I recently acquired BLRW chicks from in my mind the best breeder in the U.S. I do not want birds that I will have to work with. Just...
Hi I was wondering if you have any egg available to ship? I have Marans and have been wanting BLRW for a while now. Please let me know it will be a couple of weeks before I can hatch them. Also how much would they be.
