Hello all! I hope your spring chicks are hatching and doing well!
This year, we decided to focus on the fainting goats instead of raising another brood of chicks.
If you're looking for a fainter, we've got lots of babies ready to go to new homes!
Here's the craigslist link, but feel free...

I've had geese...and honestly, I wouldn't do it again.
They are messy, loud, and can develop a bad temper.
They were fun at first, but as they get older, they get very territorial and will sometimes attack you or other animals. They also leave some pretty big poops around the yard...

Does anybody feed Loyall brand dog food?
We won a costume contest at Murdoch's and now have a year's supply of it. Our dogs are on a different brand so we are considering selling it someone that uses it.
PM me if you do! The only thing is that they must be redeemed at Murdoch's and each...

You might want to get a water tank heater, rather than an aquarium heater...the aquarium heater can melt the bucket if you aren't careful. A just get one that floats and it won't touch the sides or bottom and melt it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually cycle the heater and the...

Yeah water is tricky. I tossed an aquarium heater into my chickens bucket...it has worked thus far and was even warm to the touch when I went out this morning. I have to run a really long cord to the coop, but it works!

When we were living in the mountains, we had 20 chickens living in the barn with the goats. During the winter, they had their own heat lamps, but spent most of the day out and about pecking at this or that. Most nights they would huddle with each other to keep warm.
Sometimes I don't think...

I'm going to go against the grain and say that you answered your own question in the last line you wrote. You already know it will be too cold, and it will be a lot of work dealing with new chicks and trying to keep them warm.
You know the right thing to do is wait... but...
If anybody wants, I have an easter egger chick that needs to go to a good home.
We had a hen go broody and this chick is the last one left, they were born on Monday.
We are in Parker, feel free to give me a call if you want to come pick it up!

I would recommend getting out to some of the 4H shows and asking around or asking the owners if the bird they are showing is for sale, or if they have others. I was just down at the Douglas county show and there are quite a few birds available for sale. Saw a really nice looking...

Your piglets are plenty old enough to be off milk. We give our little weanlings pig pellets which you can purchase at the feed stores.
You can even put them on an all stock feed and forage. Much cheaper than buying a pig specific feed. I think Nutrena Stock and Stable is on sale...
Does anybody have any phoenix or yokohamas for sale in Colorado? Laying eggs, roosters or hens? Any breeders?
I can't find any places online, Murray McMurray is sold out...
Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between cuckoo marans and barred rocks? I'm having a hard time finding distinguishing features that seperate them...
We will have 2 week old straight run chicks available Sunday the 10th.
These will be Easter Eggers/Ameracuanas, Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorns, and Buff Orpingtons. No guarantees on breed or sex although we will do our best to provide you with a good mix.
These are all great...
A 2 ft. long snake will pose no threat to regular chickens. Maybe to chicks, but I doubt it. The snake has more to fear from the chickens! I've seen chickens tear up some pretty big snakes!
You can ask your local extension agent for weed identification. Most offices even have master gardeners who know your area well and are well versed in weed identification.
