    I'm taking Petruchio, so if any of you all are interested, let me know. He is such a sweetie. I called them too. The guy who answered was very nice. They're technically in Wheatridge at the SW corner of 42nd and Wadsworth.

    Shoot, the next one in Denver isn't till July 7--too late for Petruchio. Isn't there a swap or something in Kiowa? That's closer.

    About two hours, but there is a swap downtown here. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks Joe.

    Sadly, I have till next Saturday to rehome my beautiful EE rooster, Petruchio. Stupid neighbors--they all told me they didn't mind and that it was lovely having him near. He was hatched November 18 from Farmer John's eggs. He is gorgeous, gentle with the ladies, keeps 23 hens fertilized all...

    Broken leg - How long to leave splint on?

    Thanks for the responses. She never did stop walking on it though. We actually had a hard time catching her. A friend who broke her wrist only has to wear a cast for 3 weeks, but hers was not displaced--my hen's is. And I wasn't able to set it (straighten it), so it's going to have to heal...

    Broken leg - How long to leave splint on?

    One of my hens, 20 weeks old, broke her leg about a week ago. I splinted it with popsicle sticks and she is doing well. How long should I leave the splint on?

    Quote: oshun, I've had shipped about 6 batches of eggs. My numbers have not been great. I have a Brinsea incubator and I attribute my better hatch rate to it. Hatch rate is 30%. That is for eggs shipped from as far away as Florida and as close as Mich. Good luck I had two batches this fall...

    Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

    Well, it's because it's a HORCE. Lime is a very common color for horces.

    How many chickens should I give for helping out?

    Are they the people you were originally going to go shares with? I just did a partnership with someone from BYC. She was kind enough to teach me and my husband how to kill, pluck, gut, etc. the birds. I gave her a check for half the expenses when I came to butcher. Perhaps that's what they...

    Who else is moving their babies to the coop this weekend

    Moved mine out today. Gave them a lamp for heat and put them in the broody coop that I have in case I ever am lucky enough to have a broody.

    Tiny Eggs? and will hens know to go back into the coop to lay?

    A lot of chickens (most?) lay smaller eggs at first. Yes, they will go back into their nice safe nest boxes to lay. Congrats.

    Official Poll 2011 - Are Chickens Easier or Harder To Raise Than...

    Building for the coop for the chickens was way more work than buying a crate for the dogs. They are about as much work as the fish and turtles. (Initial setup only on both.) The dogs and cats are way more work on a daily basis and take much more time. But, my dogs and cats keep me warm in...

    should I be bothered by this?

    Regarding your hands getting hot, if he is wearing a long sleeved shirt, it is usually more comfortable to me to hold his arm just below the elbow, just wrap my hand around his lower arm so you aren't skin to skin. Hope you know what I mean, that's not explained very well.

    almost 6 weeks old time to go outside?

    Are they fully feathered? No fluff left, even on their heads?
