    Thank you Ever True!! So far the local runnings here isnt carrying any cochins and they dont seem to be in much of a hurry to keep their tanks full this year. I know that they get chicks from Welp, and Hoovers in Iowa and according to Welp's, site they wont have full sized cochins till in...

    Hey all, havent been on here in awhile and thought Id touch base. Things here have went well for this winter so far, only lost a couple of birds this winter, couple due to an owl who found a way through the netting. Its looking like I wont need to buy birds this year, but can buy them if I...

    WELCOME! Did you get those birds at Kramers Auction? Been meaning to go there one of these days. I dont know of anyone who has Barnevelder's but Wyandottes you should be able to get at the feed/farm stores now during their chick days.

    Will do. Depending on what day they arrive may determine if I can get there that day or if it may be a day or two later. If they arrive on a Friday or a Saturday it may be Sunday afternoon before I could come get them.

    I would be looking at about 5 egyptians and 3-5 crev's I will be keeping an eye out at the local runnings as well just in case. Just keep me informed as to what is ready when, so I dont wind up overbuying birds. Thanks Steve

    LOL!!!! I know the wife has commented on my "hobby". She is happy that at least its legal and can provide something out of it and not set in the yard. Was looking at the list you have and I believe there are some birds you have that I would be interested in. Looking at the following...

    WOW that is a lot of birds!!! Would love to get a large amount like that, but wife would probably make me sleep in the coop then. LOL The runnings store in town gets theirs from either hoovers hatchery or welp depending on the bird. The hoovers birds are still reasonably priced, but the...

    Thank you for the info! Are the prices etc you have there for birds you are selling or what you paid for your birds? Im looking at Welp's this year over the local Runnings, since they really jacked their prices up this year. I forgot to take the egyptians out, I had some that were actually...

    Hello all. Been awhile since Ive posted but thought Id stop in and say hey. Had lots of highs and lows this summer. The ducks had a bunch of ducklings, but the poor things either got out of the run or something came in and got them. I also had a cochin cross hen who went broody in July and...
