    If you want a lavender bantam ameraucana cockeral (WA)

    Speak up now. Hatched from blue eggs. No way am I keeping the 50% that are male. My favourite and naturally the best of the bunch is staying, but everything from choice #2 on down the line is up for grabs. I have no extra hens to give with these sorry. They are young (5wks) and of good quality...

    Thanks for keeping me company

    I am home now and fine. I had ex-rays first thing after the offices opened. I wound up driving myself as I just couldn't find anyone around that could get off work to help me. My family dooctor saw me and the foot, washed everything off well, wrapped it all up, and sent me off- island to a...

    Will someone keep me company

    While I wait for the doctors office to open? I triped over the darn dog and fell and broke my foot. I dislocated/broke a couple of toes and they are bleeding a little. The paramedics came and tut tutted and put a ballooon splint on. Now I have to wait for the office to open, the dr. doesn't...

    Nice fluffy sweet natured golden girls only 15wks old almost ready to lay $5 each . A very good deal for someone who wants a couple of backyard hens (I want them to go together, please).

    I just got dumb lucky

    I have a version of Dennise's playhouse coop. I also purchased that little triangular tractor off of the Randall Burkey site to keep a couple of new young birds confined while in quarentine, and I liked it so much that I bought a second one just because. Well today I was getting ready to...

    Anyone got Marans or Welsummer bantams?

    I've been looking for a while. The person near me that had marans bantams got rid of all their chickens, so I am still looking.

    Update- Review of new purchased tractor (portable coop)

    I love my little bantam orpingtons, but they have been dissapearing, being picked off one by one, from virtually under my nose. I am down to my last two hens. Freely roaming about the yard is over, done with, kaput. They are living locked in the playhouse coop. Truly they seem OK with it, but...

    I can't help myself I have to post this.

    Have you ever noticed in the pirate pictures there is always a parrot on the pirate's shoulder? Have you ever noticed the pirate is also WEARING AN EYPATCH. That is because his pet parrot has pecked out his eyeball. Two different posts this week have dealt with owners of much loved, tame and...

    On the subject of preditors winged, two, and four legged

    My chickens have been dissapearing, during the day out of my fenced yard when I am at home, but not with them. No noise, no muss no fuss. I am now down to two and beefing up security. (I do plan on replacing the unfortunates, I want at least 4, maybe 6) For those of you that want queit gentle...

    Bantam pullets wanted (orpington prefered)

    Well I was sort of sitting on the fence, thinking that I given away too many of my chicks and that I wanted a couple more. Today I lost one . So I am no longer fence sitting, I need a few more. Anyone got a few extra girls? I love my orpington girls,and so orpingtons of any color are my first...

    I got a camera...( Warning- picture heavy)

    And so the first thing I did was take chicken pictures. Here is a bantam buff orpington. I named her Puff Orphanhen (In honor of Miss Prissy). A couple more of the girls. They are seven weeks old now, no baby chick pictures, but better late than never. They seem to enjoy the brambles...

    Where did Mc Murray go?

    I was looking for supplies last night and went to look at their website and got a funny page with a note the domain had expired. Tried again this morning- same deal. I tried the link from BYC and my own search and I still can't find them. Is it just me or have they dissapeared suddenly????

    A few free bantam buff orpingtons in WA (sorry pullets now all taken)

    If you live kind of nearby (NW Washington) and want some, here's the scoop. I had to order streight run and there was also a minimum and I can't keep them all. They are 4 weeks old and I can maybe, kind of, sex them. In any case as they get bigger I am running out of room. I only intend to have...

    Is it possible for a young chick to exhibit "broody" tendancies?

    I caught 3 of my little week old chicks scratching up the shavings like mad. Then they stood together picking at and arranging the shavings. Then they stomped them down a bit before they wiggled and settled into place in the soft comfy little "nests" they had made. Any chance this means these...

    Happy happy morning

    My order from Cackle arrived. 17 strong happy little buff orpington bantams (15 minimum bantam order+2 extra). I picked them up at the post office when the truck came in at 7:30 and they were home in the brooder eating and drinking by 8. I phoned in my order and they gave me both a hatch an a...

    Following our own rules

    How is the battle in your area. Our area in the PNW has experienced a great deal of recent growth. My town is a churning morass of investment vs. no growth, local vs. state, outsiders vs. longtimers, etc. , etc, etc. Every kind of developement, investment, environmental, and animal rights...

    For eggs will Buff Orpington Bantams be okay?

    I am new to this whole backyard chicken concept. I have to admit so far- well lets just say my efforts seem to be achieving mixed results. I have a nice, new, very pretty, version of the playhouse coop and want a few hens for eggs. Everything here is a pet. One person that promised me hens...
