Same for last year. I went with a couple roos and was able to sell them, but I was the only one there with any "livestock". It was poorly done....
Any word about hens at this swap? I'm looking for a few to add to my flock, not bantams, full size girls. Prefer EE, BO, Wyandottes, but you never...
Thanks!! I guess I'll just have to keep sneaking up on them [IMG] The pics are great!! Such pretty eggs, I like the spots too. All the eggs I've...
I have a few hens (left), a BO, an EE, a BLRW, and a Columbian. I was getting tan spotted eggs from the buff, ( I caught her laying) then I found...
Tough one. Is it a winter hearty breed? My mother had a little silkie hatch out a few chicks one winter. They free ranged during the day, but it...

This should make some of you feel alot better. I have a Columbian hen that is 30 weeks, and no eggs, at all. My silkie, who is 34 weeks, laid 3...
From what I understand Mareks is spread through dander, and is very quick/easy to spread, and impossible to get rid of. So if you think you have...
