Oh one more thing pohnjarker....Tractor Supply is now carrying Organic poultry feed....At least ours is...It is kind of pricy , $24.95 for 40 lbs....I just paid $29.95 for 50 lbs.....But check with your feed stores and see if any of them have any organic feed....That is all I will use...
pohnjarker, welcome to the group.....As for your dog /chicken pen....I would (if it were me), build something to put the whole thing on , so nothing could dig underneath it and get the chickens....I, too, was going to buy one of those dog kennels for my chickens but just keep in mind , anything...
I need to make a correction.....John Blehm IS still raising lavender Americaunas.....He just inform me I was incorrect in think he wasn't....But he IS still raising them......Dexterlady
I may send you pics. of our new chicks when we get them if you would like to see them.....Some will be crosses between Blue Ameracaunas and Andalusions.....I really can't remember what they will look like.....Then I have 25 Lavs. coming, if the lady gets a good hatch....Then I ordered some...
Thank you so much for sending the pics...Greatly appreciated....Pretty birds and cute little chicks.....I had 9 roosters and they were a darker lavender....I sure wish I would have kept one....And they were really large....I sure love these lavenders!...Hoping I can stay in touch with...
Do you have any pictures of your birds?...Has any of your eggs hatch out yet?....Would love to pics. of the chicks also....On the 75 birds I am getting, I am not keeping all of them, other friends are getting some also....I do not have room for that many....Let me know how your hatch...
BarrettG, I wish I had know this earlier...I have already ordered 75 chicks, not all lavs. though...I'd really rather have the lavs.......Do you raise the large birds or the bantams?....
Poultrybonkers, I just noticed you have a variety of different chickens...I am only interested in the Lav. Ameracaunas........Is this what you are hatching?
Thank you to all who responded to my post...Just could not realize breeders of Lav. Americaunas would be booked so far ahead....All I can say is I sure hope the lady who is suppose to hatch mine , does and we do get some....Don't know what it is about the large Lavs, all I can say is I think...
Foul Stuff, why would anyone be out of chicks this time of year?....Do the hens just stop laying or what...This is springtime, I thought all hens lay eggs this time of year and hatch out chicks.....Why would the breeders be " out for the year"?......I am not trying to be sarcastic in any way so...
Beth, where are you from?...I am in Texas and I have found a lady who raises Lavs...I am ordering 25 from her , she said they should be here the end of April.....If this falls through I don't know of anyone else either.....But if I do get them, I will certainly let you know....That's about the...
