*sigh* I didn't, a fox or racoon or somesuch did. the replacement order for sandhill came in this week and we weren't ready for it. we had to shuffle everyone around who was in brooders and coops and such and I left wednesday forgetting to put down a layer of cinderblocks around the...
Hey guys
I've been informed that I need to downgrade the flock, so I have a bunch of babies available really low cost available
10 Buff orpingtons, 10 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and 5 Silver Penciled Wyandottes. All straight run, and from Sandhill Preservation. They hatched on Tuesday, so they...

This is true of the Roo's as well. We have hawks and ours do a wonderful job of warning of the hawks. Of course, at the moment we have too many and need to eat a couple, and won't that be fun!

to be honest, and some people are going to probably hate me for this one, we just let ours free range. They watch for hawks on their own, and the roosters do a good job of getting the girls under cover and keeping them there. we (and the next door neighbors) have lost one or two to...
I think we still have some laying around somewhere, i'd have to actively look for them we only had five and I don't know how many we have left, but I can always drop them in the mail box

If you don't get a taker, you could put them in a large gallon baggie and hit it several times with a rolling pin. Won't go to waste that way. Just a thought.
I quit buying pellets, it seems to be too big for the bantams so I switched to crumbles. I mixed them together and the...

You could easily get away with that - just tell him they'er Turkens, AKA Transylvanian Naked Necks! Wildly unusual for sure! http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Turkens/BRKTurkens.html
Then when they get a little too big you just say "whoops, must have made a mistake?!"
OK, I...
I am going but SO has a manager meeting so he won't be. I've been told that unless it is something wildly unusual I cannot bring it home. Also I cannot bring home anything that is not a chicken. Period. Somebody has learned from every other trip we've taken and gotten very specific I wonder...
