We've picked up chickens from her on a couple occasions (and the friendliest milking goat you will ever meet). Love Liz! Our Buff Orp roo is huge and just gorgeous. His crow is my favorite lol. She's also shipped us silkie eggs once too - great hatch rate and the babies were beautiful. Our...
Hi all,
I have a friend looking for about 5 started pullets for her son to start their own small backyard flock. If you all have any close to the Ames area or know of anyone who does, let me know! :)
Thank you!

Hi all! Today is hatch day for our 12 silkie eggs (started with 16, 2 weren't fertilized, 2 blood rings). The remaining 12 were all moving on day 18. Cross your fingers for us! It was hard to get the older girls out the door to school today, they wanted to stay home and watch for pips. ;)...
