My husband's having a cow about these cages, so they're going up on CL. If someone decides they want them, identify yourself as a BYC member so I can give you preference.
I need to find homes for 1 or 2 banks of cages. I hate to part with them. These were old cages from my veterinary hospital, then I paid a welder to weld a metal bar in front so that I could attach water bottles and food bowls. I intended them for my seramas and for birds that needed to be in...
Please remind all your chicken friends about our free poultry seminars at the WFF show in Chehalis at 10:00 and 11:00. I hope these 2 top poultry veterinarians will have a good audience!
Today is the last day to enter birds in the Washington Feather Fanciers show in Chehalis, WA Nov 17 and 18. Be sure to get your entries in. Even if you don't want to show your birds, we'd love to have you come to our seminars on poultry health. Seminars are free to the public. Dr. Lyndon...
I put new birds in a cage for 5-7 days to cut down on aggression from the old birds. Usually it works very well for hens- not always so well for new roosters.
Anyone want a goose for Thanksgiving?
I have a pair of March hatch full-grown grass-fed young geese that need to be butchered and dressed. If anyone volunteers, I will trade one goose for having the other ready to cook. I am in Spanaway. My husband will butcher turkeys and chickens, but...
Jennifer, I am getting pretty low for winter and have few excess birds. I do have a white silkie pullet with a smallish crest and a buff-laced Polish hen that are not quite good enough for breeding quality. It would depend a lot on what other birds you have, though. Crested birds don't see...
Exciting news about the Chehalis Show!!! On Sat November 17 there will be 2 poultry seminars free to the public. Dr Lyndon Badcoe will talk about the NPIP program in Washington State at 10:00 am, then at 11:00 am, Dr. Rocio Crespo will speak on "Management and Health in Poultry Flocks." These...
Rob Smith is my son and Paige is in my 4H club. Both birds came originally from Sheryl Butler's eggs. (She also breed mille fleur d'uccles.) If you want to contact me, I can give you her information. I can ask the kids if they want to part with the birds since we aren't breeding cochins, but...
I've asked this before but I have 2 extra geese, haven't been able to sell them on CL and the Tacoma Meat Market has closed. Does anyone know where I can get geese processed in the Tacoma area? Flock dynamics were better with 3 geese than 5.
We formed our own club because we had a core group of families who did lots of other things and didn't want to make 4H a focus. We meet in the Spring for a while, do the fair, and adjourn until next Spring. We do poultry only, so it's easy. Kids are in Boy Scouts, sports, lots of stuff...
27 chickens of mine or belonging to my 4Hers are at the Puyallup Fair and I am pooped! There are a ton of seramas there. Anyone who wants to see a real serama tabletop show should go Friday night. Judging of caged birds is Saturday then we pick them all up Sunday and do it all again for the...
Today is the last day to enter the Puyallup Fair Open Poultry Show. Enter on-line- be sure to get large fowl or bantam right. It's fun, it's cheap, and everyone who enters a bird gets 3 free fair tickets!
Here is my big big brag for the day. This is Ricci- Champion of Show today at the Southwest Washington Fair. Judge Jim Adkins said she was the nicest Polish he'd ever judged!! Oh Frabjous joy!
Isn't he a sweetie! I'm glad he's got such a good home. I never did come up with a name for him- his father is "little Mac" and I just called him the splash Mac boy.
Tomorrow is the last day to send in entries for the SW WA Fair in Chehalis, WA. Birds check in Tues am Aug 14 and are picked up Sun pm Aug 19. I'm taking some Polish and araucanas.
