None in Pa. pretty early here yet

If you want to make a trip I’m selling all my red goldens, yellow goldens and lady Amherst. I have 2 red males and 8 hens. 2 yellow males and 3 hens and 3 Amherst males and three hens. All are under 3. In the reds 2 hens are dark throated hens. I’m in northeast pa.

Broom stick to the neck real fast and hard. Basically just under where there head meets the neck. Ive used this method for chickens, turkeys and ducks for years.

I don’t raise meat bantams on purpose but every year I usually butcher 15 to 20 extra bantam cochin roosters. They are hard to sell so we always just eat them.

My buddy lives close to Sarasota and is looking for some pea chicks. Anyone have any connections to someone down there with peafowl? I know it’s early for chicks here in pa but not sure about florida.

I use the bags of pine shavings from tractor supply.

That’s here is Pennsylvania. Not sure about other places

I let mine hatch there own. The sin reason is I free range mine and there nest can be tricky to find. Out of ten pairs last year mine raised only 32 little ones.

Rite here rite now a breeding pair would bring about a hundred bucks. After breeding season it usually drops to fifty for a hen and twenty five is for a Tom. At auction Saturday blue slate hens brought an average of 65 dollars each.

Any black or blue cochins ?

Still available?

Looking for eggs or chicks. Also have a question as to what one is rarer, gold or silver?

I would say in my area you would get 15 to 20 a piece

So true. I free range mine and it’s always fun trying to locate some of there nest. I had one last year that nested three hundred yards from the coop and had a heck of a time finding it. Took me two days of just watching her and slowly following her from a distance. It’s amazing how well they...

My golden pen is 60x15 and I have lots of dead trees and bushes in there for them to hide in. When I introduce new birds I always do it at night and not had any issues. They will fight some here and there but I have enough cover where they can get away from each other.
