Hello from the western slope! I haven’t been on here in a few years as we just moved back to a house with a few acres recently. I’m looking for eggs, chicks or young birds of: Sussex Welsummers Orpingtons (other than buff) Bresse Marans Bourbon red turkeys Guineas Anything else fun I’m...

Anyone interested in a trio of Seramas? They're my sons 4-H birds but he's going to larger birds for next year. He's asking $70. Also my daughter has a free blue Silkie cockerel. Very cute and has been handled a lot so great for another 4Her. She ended up with two roos... [/IMG]

I put up 7 half pints of raspberry vanilla jam and barely 2 half pints of red currant jelly yesterday. I'd never done currant jelly and while it wasn't hard, it didn't make much. But at least the kids don't eat themselves sick when picking them like they did the raspberries! Lol. We're hopefully...

Is anyone in need or want of a Serama roo? He's a cute Birchen color. My son decided on a different roo to show in 4H ( a white one). We're in Grand Junction. $20.

I'm looking for a pair or trio of SQ or BQ blue, black or white set of Silkies for my daughter's 4H project. We live in CO but will be in AZ the last week of March into the beg of April. Thanks in advance!!

Anyone on the western slope have blue, white or black silkies? My daughter is looking for a pair or trio for 4H. We're willing to drive an hour or two from Grand Junction.

Our local Murdochs generally has a chart with which breeds and how many are coming in on each day. If they don't have it out, then you'll likely have to make a friend there to give you the info you crave. I once got the only Bourbon Red Turkey poults of the season because I knew when they were...

I actually just got it up to 15 psi without it leaking. I wish I wasn't so nervous with it! I just never have even been around one before. I remember my mom using a pressure cooker occasionally when I was a kid and always telling us to stay out of the kitchen when it was on. Scarred as a child...

Rancher hicks, Here are some pics of it. I bought it off of eBay last year. It's an All American 15.5 qt.

Thanks ladies. It is an older model All American so no gasket and no weight. Just the gauge (which is new) and a "petcock" which can stand straight up and let steam out or be flipped to the side to build the pressure. I will try again and oil the edges a little more and not get so nervous about...

Move been water bath canning for a few years but I've never pressure canned and want to start. So I bought a used All American and I finally got up enough nerve to put just water in it and try to get it up to pressure. Well the first time I got it up just past 5 lbs and it started leaking a...

I have some BCMs in a stock tank in the garage that range from 6-8 weeks old that are suddenly not standing and flopping around. I ordered them from another BYCer, got them in the mail and they were mixed age (1 week old - 6 weeks old i think). Since being at my house for the past 5ish weeks...

I set 13 Bourbon Red turkey eggs on Jan 8. Now that DH is home, I can candle better (he has a really powerful flashlight). I can't believe how many of you are setting silkie eggs! I'm jealous.. well for my DD. She had some beautiful black and white silkies last summer and then raccoons got the...

What breed of turkey is it? Pictures?

Quote: Wow! I'm so glad it's not like that at the apple orchard across the street from us! He sells us boxes (25 lbs) of seconds for $5 and there is never a line or cars parked all over. I used to live in the OC when I was in college. I went to Cal State Disneyland... opps I mean Cal St...

Well it looks like my "pullet" is turning into cockeral #3.... ugh! my luck this year!!! If anyone has any BCM chicks available to ship ASAP, I'm interested!!! We finally have a bit of extra $$ and hubby said YES! Let me know! Thanks!

Looking for BCM chicks! Raccoons wiped us out and DH and I were hoping to completely switch our flock over to them by next spring. We only have 2 cockerals and one pullet left out of 12.... not to mention all our kids 4H chickens were wiped out too. Let me know if you have some to sell. kategeer...

Oh tooooo bad we don't live closer!!!!!!! Just last night, raccoons wiped out my daughter's Silkie flock and killed my husband's SLP cockeral that I hatched from an egg swap on here!!! I'd love it if there were a poultry swap here on the west slope!!!

i had a poult with this hatch the other day and somewhere i read that it was a vitamin deficiency, so I made up a little bit of "Sav A Chick" and fed the poult several times with a kid's medicine syringe. His feet were also a bit curled, so I used bandaids to right them. The next morning, the...

I wouldn't do a dry incubation with turkeys, but I live in a very very dry area and higher elevation. What is the bator's humidity during the first 25 days? Being in Iowa, I'm assuming its probably above 30% without adding water? I might stay at that but when they go into lockdown, I would get...
