I really want a polish, but it has to be a started pullet. Anyone know of any sources?

Can you please tell me more about the show in May? When and where? I won't be able to make the Northeast one on Jan 14, and I'm dying for a polish to complete my little flock. thanks

I'm still looking for a polish pullet near northern NJ, too.

I reeeaally want a polish pullet. does anyone know if there will be some there?

all I want for christmas is two pullets... a polish and a welsummer! (anyone know of any near north Jersey?)

Quote: Careful where you get your squirrel from! There's actually a limit of 2 per adult, 1 per child in Ringwood, NJ because of the Ford company illegally dumping their paint sludge in the area years ago! I wouldn't mind trying squirrel, (I've tried some pretty exotic meals), just not from...

I'll have to pass that on to my hubby- he uses pb too, but sometimes has the traps raided! Just a quick 2 cents- have you seen the new black plastic mouse traps? They are just a simple spring loaded clip-looking contraption. We both love them for ease of use (easy to set, release, and reset)...

Looking for pullets to add to my small backyard flock. Would like one of each: Welsummer Polish: white crested blue or cuckoo bantam cochin: just about any color, but prefer multicolor, like mille fleur or splash thanks!

I rescued my first hen from a parking lot, so I'm not absolutely certain what brees she is. From looking around online I think she's an ISA Brown. She's an excellent layer; she only misses a day maybe twice a month. Even with the shorter days. (I do not use any suplemental lighting)

Remember the main point- she's leaving! Some people just don't like change, and she sees the coop as a change. Whatever new people buy the house next door will know that seeing your cute little coop during the winter is part of the deal. I doubt the new neighbors will think of it as an eye sore...

Hello everyone! I got a tip that I might be able to find a lead for a white crested blue polish (LF) pullet on this thread. Anyone know where I can find one not too far from north Jersey? thanks

Hello everyone! I'm also looking for a white crested blue pullet (LF). Does anyone know of any breeders near northern New Jersey? thanks

Beautiful coloring! I don't know about gender though... I'd like to cast my vote for roo based on the tail feathers. Those in the saddle area look more pointy than round to me.

I would just add that if you're planning on catching run-off from the roof, try to avoid asphalt shingles. All kinds of nasty petroleum chemicals leach into the water, making it unsuitable even for using in the garden.

So far the girls got sweet potato and apple peelings- we'll see what's left after the meal!

I just went through the same thing! I'm also a chicken newbie, and bought an "ameraucana pullet" that turned out to be an EE roo. I bought him at 5-6 months old, but didn't know any better at the time that it was a boy. The guy assured me it must be a hen since it hadn't crowed yet. Well, he...

thanks everyone. I had a feeling it was a roo! (i've only had chickens for a month now) Any idea how long before he feathers out? He hasn't crowed yet- is it normal to be so late?

Nurse_turtle, if you click on the pic it will enlarge. SueBaby, there was at least one other roo, which was already crowing. I didn't realize that would keep this one from crowing! If he stays quiet, maybe we can keep him. If he starts crowing, we'll probably have to give him up.

I just got this chicken from a local guy who said it was an ameraucana. The hatch date was 3/28, which makes it 25 weeks (6 months) old. He thought it was most likely a hen because it hasn't crowed yet, but it also hasn't laid any eggs yet. For the week I've had it, it also doesn't seem to have...
