Thanks :) All is well now and I have a beautiful 18 month old who will be thrilled to have chickens I'm sure. I would certainly be interested in some pullets but later on in spring once we get the shed fully converted into a coop. Please do keep me posted!
Hi everyone! I have missed this place! The last two years have been extremely challenging. We have moved to a homestead on 25 acres near Kingfield and we are finally ready to start over with our flock. Due to pregnancy and complications I had to rehome my previous birds which made me extremely...
Hello all,
Sadly I think I must part with my flock. Right now we are moving 2 hours away and selling our house. I am also pregnant and unable to do much of anything because of how sick and exhausted I feel all of the time. There are about 17 hens and one bcm roo. Mixed flock with some pure ams...
Hello all!
It has been a while since I popped in. Lots going on. We are selling our house and moving out the sticks north of Farmington! Please let me know if any of you would like to buy a nice split ranch on 3 acres in Cumberland, 15 min from Portland.
Bucka: I am very happy to report...

I have one too many Roos. Thought id give him one last shot before he goes to freezer camp!
PM me if interested! I am located just north of Portland but...

Hi Everyone!
I have been away for quite some time. Just busy with life, animals, a new job and all that good stuff.
Hope everyone has weathered this wretched winter well.
If anyone would like some fertile hatching eggs I have PLENTY. They are a mix of BCM roo, BCM/Amerucana roo/ buff...
Hi everyone! Just popping in to day hello. Its been such a busy summer and fall that I have been absent from here. New job, flooded house, 30 something chickens to deal with and a puppy who broke her toe then sliced open her entire back paw pad. Oh and we painted the outside of the house...
I sell eggs at work and have never had an issue. I also had an LLC for a while and that was a good lesson in accounting and taxes. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go beyond selling a few dozen eggs here and there. Now I am back to just bartering and selling to friends.
My mama...
I would certainly let all your neighbors aware of the LAW regarding their dogs attacking your chickens. If it happens again Id call animal control. If they catch the dog there are large fines the owner would have to pay to get them out of the pound. I would also ask for compensation for your...
I have one more chick this morning and one more to come, I hope. I picked the chicks up and gave them a drink of water and put a little chick starter in the nest box. I hatched (hahaha) a plan to separate her once the last chick is out: I will move the teenager chickens (born in may) from the...
Hey all I am so excited! Look what I found under my broody!!! I put 3 eggs under her just to see what would happen. They are eggs from my blue ameraucana and the roo is a BCM. Ive never had a hatch before so I am not sure what to do next. I want mama to raise it (and hopefully the other two...
That is very true. I forgot about molting. There is something that just feels so wrong about supermarket eggs. Like I am cheating on my chickens!
The garden is pathetic this year, I must say. The only thing that looks good are the onion sets. We never managed to get raised beds in and I am...
gosh so much happening in here. Ash I owe you some chickens! I just couldn't manage to bring them with me and deliver them to you. I will make time soon!
So I have no eggs :( the chickens have not laid in over a month! Every since I wormed them they stopped. I used Wazine first and then...
Widget: It is a typical plastic cone. I dont think the soft one would work for her. She would destroy it :( The sock is easy to get on and off. She just hates it. Using deli turkey has helped reduce her irritation today. I am going to stick with that :)
Bucka: I put in all my tomatoes...
Honestly; come to goodwill. I work at Goodwill and we get many many llbean and carhartt jeans. Lots of other quality brands in all sizes too! Cant really beat 4.99 - 7.99 for a good pair of jeans.
Also NCR: I am struggling with the puppy. She has to wear a cone and we have to put a...
Yet again I cant ge tout of work for the show in Sunday. bahhhhh!
