    Showgirl cockerel- bowtie- lovely boy! Maine.

    We have a few too many boys in the pen. This distriquished fellow just started cock-a-doodle-dooing. He'd make a nice papa- has many excellant traits for the breed. PM you have any questions. I'll happily ship and have experience shipping, but am out of Horizon boxes. So would need for the...

    Maine Farm Fest - date changed Oct 25th sunday Augusta TSC

    The six Sizzle mutt freebies are spoken for. If there's no more interest in the Australorps, buff Silkie, or white SG's, I will pass on the swap. Sorry, Cherokeerainbow. Augusta's an hour away and I can't justify going for just a few chickens which I'm selling below cost. Hope you can...

    Maine Farm Fest - date changed Oct 25th sunday Augusta TSC

    These pics taken today. Free for the taking- 14 week (?) Sizzle/Silkie mutt- reverted back to straight feathers. I've put this big kid in another pen and it's probably going to get a little picked on, so it might be a bit more dishelveled looking by the time the weekend rolls around. $5-...

    Maine Farm Fest - date changed Oct 25th sunday Augusta TSC

    Forgot to list price of Black Australorps- (thanks for the head's up Rabbitsrule!) Flock of six for $35, individuals $6.50. This price is reduced from September- you couldn't buy and raise them for this!

    Maine Farm Fest - date changed Oct 25th sunday Augusta TSC

    I'm planning on putting the Black Australorp pullets in the freezer later this week. If anyone's seriously interested, let me know today or tomorrow and I can plan to bring them to the swap. Just to reiterate, these are young point of lay pullets, many have just started laying. They've been...

    Maine Farm Fest - date changed Oct 25th sunday Augusta TSC

    Quote: By Aussies, do you mean Australorps? I have those in abundance- 6-7 mos and just starting to lay. (Been finding nests here and there the past couple of weeks.) Free ranged, NPIP certified, healthy, happy and shiny. No trades, sorry. I'm trying to downsize. Way too many eggs and...

    no longer needed, please delete thread

    I'd love to take them off your hands. :0) I have a clutch of Showgirl chicks that same age in the brooder I can put them in with. I won't be able to pick them up until next weekend though as I'm heading out of state on Saturday. Of course, if you don't have them by then, it's fine. Just...

    Chicken Swap & Farm Fest, Sunday, August 30, 12-4, TSC Augusta, Maine

    Sorry for disappearing - I had to go out of town last Saturday and just got home today. I hated missing out on the swap. Spook - A neighbor has spoken for the NH flock. But I still have lots of Black Australorps- supposed to be great layers. We're going to start putting some in the freezer...

    Chicken Swap & Farm Fest, Sunday, August 30, 12-4, TSC Augusta, Maine

    By the way, here's a bit about Black Australorps that I ripped from the McMurray site: This breed originated in Australia developed from Black Orpingtons imported from England; and the emphasis of the breeding program was on egg production without sacrificing too much in size and meat quality...

    Chicken Swap & Farm Fest, Sunday, August 30, 12-4, TSC Augusta, Maine

    Hi All! Nice baskets, Spook! If there's any interest in the following, I can come to the swap and meet up. Please make a note here or PM me- if no note of interest, I won't be there as it's a good hour from me. Wanted: I'm looking for a few/couple Pekin ducks, near to or fully grown...

    I need the truth about chicken noise - ASAP

    My solution to this "keep the neighbor happy but also do what I want" condundrum was, eventually, to move! Now I live where I can't even SEE a single neighbor. I can walk around the garden in the morning in my underwear. I can stand outside and sing badly on the top of my lungs. I can let...

    How loud is your Silkie roo?

    I love Silkies! My roos are pretty quiet crow-ers- no louder than my hens when they get "bok-bokking" at egg laying time. The problem with roos, why there are ordinances against them, is they crow at any time of day or night- one of mine crows off and on all night long when the moon is out...

    Hens Ignoring their eggs?

    Did you catch my post where they need to be kept at a constant 100 degrees? Even if you kept them in your ear - or another delicate area when a temperature can be read- they wouldn't be warm enough to hatch. :? Yup, methinks we have a troll. No more food from me!
