My move to Georgia is official. If anyone is interested in some barnyard mix pullets, I will be giving some away in a few weeks, when I’m absolutely sure of gender.
I also have 3 black pullets that are close to laying age. I think they are Asian Black but the feed store didn’t have them...
My husband is expecting a job offer for Georgia any day now so I am going to have to say no, but he is gorgeous. I will probably have a bunch of chickens to give away if we end up moving 🤦♀️
Anyone interested in my rooster Clarence? He’s a cream Legbar from Murray McMurray, one year old in July. He’s good with the hens and wary of people, so his behavior hasn’t been any problem. The chickens all free range and he does a good job watching for danger. I am keeping some of his...
I’ve read that turkey poults are harder to raise than chicks. Do your broody turkey hens have fewer losses than if you raise them yourself?
I’ve discovered this spring that my chicken hens do a much better job than my incubator! I don’t think I’ll bother with the incubator if I can keep some...
Anyone in the Cheyenne area have some eggs currently incubating? Long story short, I have 3 broodies that wouldn’t accept shipped chicks and they’ve already been sitting for 2 weeks.
I’ll set some of my own if I can’t get some partially “cooked” ones but I really don’t want these hens to sit...
We had some grackles here yesterday.
So far we’ve had about an inch of rain today! One of my hens decided she doesn’t care and she’s been out in it all day. Everybirdie else has been under cover.
Welcome! Those are some good breeds. I have a few leghorns and I wasn’t sure I would like them but I really do. Those hens are really determined foragers!
@wyspinner If you do decide on chickens, you might check the SE Wyoming Poultry breeders group on Facebook. The guy who runs it sets up swaps once every month or two at Terry Bison. It’s an easy way to get some full grown birds and not have the expense of brooding. (And if you don’t already...
Yeah, I know quail are kept in cages for a reason, but most of the setups that I have seen (not in person, but online) are crappy and small. A person can choose whether to keep them or not, and choosing to have a caged animal is not right, in my opinion. There are plenty of more humane ways to...
Quail are wonderful animals and don’t deserve to live in a cage. Please don’t do that.
The Cheyenne animal rules are here:
City codes
If you can’t have chickens, I suggest you buy eggs from someone local. There are a few of us that advertise on Craigslist at very reasonable prices. It’s not...
