Henri LeRoo is a sweet 4 month old born on Valentine's Day. Contact me for pictures. We are in Seattle where it's illegal to keep roos. I will not ship so be close. Thanks.
I have a Polish named 'Atila, the Hen'. She's a wild one.
I had a roo called 'General Augusto Pinochet'. Unfortunately, he was a brute, so I had to put him down.
Hi Sandcat.
At my house, I'm the partner that has done the killing of our chickens. I learned to do it as a child and grew up on a farm. Last year, I had a chicken attacked. Came out to find her in the middle of the pen. In all the years I've raised chickens, I never had this happen. I brought...
Those are GREAT pics of your dad, Nifty! Takes me back to running tools for my dad when I was little...back in the 60's. Thank you so much for sharing them.

Hi Spish. So sorry to hear about your bird. I use colloidal silver (cs), internaly and externally. In an emergency like this, you can find it at a vitamin store and later on, if you find it works for your bird, you make it yourself at home. It's expensive to buy...around $20.00 for a large...
