BCMs make a pretty good dual purpose bird. I suggest stewing the males. Like chicken and dumplings with chicken bone broth. It takes a lot of time, but it sure tastes good. Make your own thin dumplings. I feel sure you will be happy with the results.
Thank you, I need to talk with Hayden. They are getting ready to start building on the lot next door to me, so we have moved our chicken coop and I may need him to throw together a grow out pen for me. I will keep in touch, I am so excited! :celebrate:wee
@grizleyguy I am interested as well in your wyandottes. I have 3 girls now who are wyandottes and they are lovely birds. I also keep Marans, any ideas on who might be selling Marans pullets?
I prefer to pick up myself, I don't mind the lovely ride in Louisiana to pick up.
Thank you.
I am so sorry you had that experience, but it gave me the feeling it was NOT about chickens and eggs. Good thing that person doesn't know where you live. :hugs
I haven't used anyone from Craigslist in an extremely long time. I have been using Dan Barger for something like a decade and am not sure what I am going to do going forward.
Do you have any ideas?

When DH is...
@topochico225 Are you moving to Mid-City in New Orleans? I may be interested in your 4 full size hens. I have some bantam pullets, not sure how many are pullets yet, however right now they are all pretty colors. When you are ready, I will only have girls (unless you want to look at the...
I have some bantams, Mom laid blue eggs (but turned out to be a serial chick killer and had to be culled, she was feral when I got her). She hatched a bunch of eggs earlier, but they are not at POL yet and about half are cockerels. Many have green legs. If you are interested in bantams, I can...
They are beautiful, wish I could have one, however I live in the city where Roosters are exotic animals for legal purposes and we are not allowed to have them. I would ignore this little pain in my a** rule, however I tried when I first got chickens and some Ahole neighbor reported me to the...
