I know this is a long shot, but have to try. We pandemic-hatched a bunch of chickens and there are just too many for us. I’m not feeling up to the normal culling after the last few years. If anyone is interested, please let me know - I will even drive them up to forty minutes if I have to 😂 They...
Sad, sad day. Woke up to my new favorite chick, eM, having passed away - it was the 'extra' chick that I think was a Silver Spangled Hamburg. So upsetting... I know I shouldn't fall in love with chickies until they have at least made it past a month or two, but I can't help it!!! I fell in love...
That would do rather a good job of covering for your roo :p
I really want guineas, too! They seem so neat! Independent and cute... like modern little dinosaurs roaming in a pack :) Great bug control, too.
Wow! I had to come see who else you had after seeing your Swedish Flower Hens comment. Amazing! You have some truly beautiful birds (and other cuties). And guineas! They are the other bird I have my eye on, at the moment ;) If only we had endless acreage!!

Oh, I am so jealous! I cannot wait until we have more space to actually start breeding... I want some Swedish Flowers so badly Breeding blue laced red wyandottes is also a dream
Isn't it awful?! We think we lost our speckled suss hen to a hawk this past autumn. I used to think hawks were so beautiful... until they started stalking our birds! I think we must have at least 4 adults that live extremely close - and they are Big! I am happy to hear everyone made it through...
New chickies arrived this morning!! 9 cornish cross (supposed to be 11, but these things happen), 5 black jersey giants (they threw in an extra!), 5 speckled susses (our old favorites), 3 gold laced wyandottes, 2 blue red wyandottes (their fluffy little silver/grey color is adorable), and 1...
