Hi. I am in Kernersville NC.
We mostly have chickens for egg sales,but also breed the followinf:
Ameracauna
Auracauna
Barbezioux
Cream Legbar
Buckeye
Catalana
Polish Tolbunt Frizzle and smooth[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]
Sure--it should be quite good--people are anxious to get out with thier birds and the weather is gonna be decent.
The easiest way to tell you is that it is on the corner of Coliseum Drive and University Parkway behind the Goodwill Industries complex. But the actual address is:
421 W. 27th...
I am in Kernersville--but unincorporated so just try to be neighborly. We sell eggs via the Country Store located in Juntique Alleyway on Main Street in Kernersville.
Anyone going to the Forsyth Fowl Fanciers Poultry Show Saturday? I'll be there and I will be selling a few birds--so great...
Saw the pics andyes you need to protect from wind and drafts. Leaving ventilation for moisture that accumulates to be pulled out near the roofline. I have openings below roasts and vents above. I block wind from my run as well with plastic. Last year was brutally cold and windy
I have about 10 different breeds together. The ONLY unsociable breed that consistently is bossy, pecking or seems to need to put a new addition in her place is any of my red or black sexlinks. They are laying machines but are not good fellow coop mates.
I don't know but sanitize santize sanitize from contact with wild birds. They carry nasty stuff and can create a biosecurity risk. Wild birds are the carriers of AI especially during migratory seasons. I don't feed birds. I have no birdhouses or birdbaths any more.
AFCHICK a note of clarification:
The decision ruling states NO PUBLIC SALES. At this time there is no restriction on PRIVATE sales that I have read anywhere.
I have not had flock issue either but watched carfully at first. I had never done that. The waterers and feeders I have are not chick accessible so I have to modify.
Perhaps put a barrier up that is a little higher until they hatch and then move them to the ground level. She won't reject them at that point. The hens can still get in and out but it will hold the chicKS till they all hatch if you keep an eye on them.
Yes. I think the broody box needs to be easily accessible to the chicks for food and water. If they fell it would cause injury. I have to change feeders and waterers. And in mixed ages everybody has to get chicken starter.
Here are my pullets that are from myour Cream Legbar × White Leghorn (heritage source not hatchery) The pullets were easily distinguishable once feathered. The roos had well developed combs and the pullets had crests. Anxious to see what eggs are like. In the UK they call this cross...
I am thrilled to have had 3 broody hens adopt chicks from the incubator. These chicks are thriving as well. Seem so much smarter.
Hens were French Black Copper Maran and an Amerecauna from the laying coop so they knew each other and are shared parents. The other one I did first is alone...
