    Wanted: Guineas

    Hello fellow BYC enthusiasts! I'm looking for any guineas in the Eastern Colorado area. Can't seem to find anyone locally with them. I'm not picky as to what color or breed they are. Just want some! Thanks!

    over-run by ticks....what to use

    I've checked locally and there's only one person who breeds them here....he doesn't sell eggs only keets, and he wants $50/bird! I am not set up to hatch my own or I'd probably get eggs from someone here. I've had my eye on a friends hatching stuff (she's gotten out of the bird business), but...

    over-run by ticks....what to use

    I was aware that Guineas will help with the tick problem; I just can't get any as they are way above my budget as well as my housing--my local chick supplier can only get them if you order 15 or more & they're running $75+. I've checked with several hatcheries but they are sold out "until...

    The March/April 2009 edition of Hobby Farms magazine has the plans you're looking for with complete directions & pics. The article starts on page 94. someone here said rainbarrels are illegal here in Colorado--yes, it's sad, but true....if anyone knows the answer, please share it...why can...

    over-run by ticks....what to use

    Our yard has been over-run by ticks. I've applied the monthly spot treatment to the dog and the cats, but the nasty little critters are in my house, in the lawn, trees, and now they're getting on us. Before I got my chickens I'd do the preventative treatment on the dog & cats, then spray the...

    All you egg sellers out there!!! LOOK HERE!!!!

    I'm selling mine for $1.50/doz; others I know of sell for more depending on the size, color or type (duck vs chicken, all one color like all blue, green, brown, etc and huge vs small), I haven't gotten that serious about it--as long as what I bring in from sales continues to cover the cost of...

    Found a place to order DE that is affordable!

    I've checked all over here, and so far no luck in finding anyone who carries it or can even get it--if they even know what I'm talking about and don't look at me like I've got two heads...figured this may help anyone who's having the same problem. Where on earth did you find it at?

    Found a place to order DE that is affordable!

    I remember reading several posts a while back about people not being able to find DE or knowing where to get it, but it being seriously expensive. I found a place to get it that isn't! Check out the spring catalog from Jung Seeds & Plants. I found it on page 41, comes in 1 1/2 pound box for...

    wild phesant stalking my girls

    No, I don't have a rooster...just the 16 girls that are just over 6 weeks old. So I'm not concerned about fights, just more worried about him getting into the run or the coop. He comes closer when they are all in the run than when they are out "playin" in the big yard...He takes off when ever...

    wild phesant stalking my girls

    I'm honestly not sure where to ask this question, so please move it if it doesn't belong in this topic.. I've had a wild male phesant visiting for the past 4 nights...he shows up around 6 pm or so and stays till just before dark. He's been out strutting his stuff and showing off for my...

    camper travel trailer coops? PICS ADDED

    I'm running into close to the same question here....I've got a 1970 camper trailer that we haven't used in years for anything but extra storage. Found some serious problems with the existing chicken house on our property while cleaning it out, and started wondering if I could convert the camper...

    Chicks are comming earlier than planned!!!

    Hey, thanks! I hadn't even thought of using a rubber maid container--I've got those comming out my ears now that the bulbs are in the ground....plenty of room & a lid too to keep the dog from getting too curious....I knew someone would have a solution for me.....my brain's been off since I got...

    Chicks are comming earlier than planned!!!

    When I ordered my chicks (yesterday) I was told that they wouldn't arrive for 2-3 weeks......got a phone call this morning saying that they would be delivered Friday (as in 3 days from now). So now I'm in a panic---what the heck do I put them in now??? I was planning on getting a brooder built...

    New to this--lots of questions

    Thanks for the help! Guess I'll have to do some more research in the forum....people around here who have been raising chickens for a long time are telling me I most definately should use either the medicated food or at least the tablets that go into the water to keep my chicks from getting...

    CO/NE/KS Anyone?

    No, I'm not kidding--I might as well live in a whole new state called "Colonebraskansas" as I live in Colorado, but am a whole 6 miles from Nebraska and 7 miles from Kansas. Can't ever get a decent weather forcast, have better luck just looking out the window. It's hot in the...

    New to this--lots of questions

    Hello to all--I finally took the leap and ordered my first chicks today! I'm getting 5 Rhode Island Reds, 5 White Leghorns and 5 Barred Rock pullets. I was lucky enough to move into a house with a chicken coop already here--no need to start from scratch, just a few repairs and a good...

    Any one near Limon CO?

    I'm in Wray--sort of --Laird actually, but Limon is only about 2 hours away. There are lots of places to get chickens out here. Check the local Ace Hardware/Quality Farm & Ranch Center in Limon--they can order just about any kind of chick you want and they will also know who in the area has...
