Hey y'all! Remember me? I've been MIA for a couple months because I had a little baby girl January 5th, and have been pretty busy. Things are leveling out now, though, and I have 50+ BCM and a few silkie eggs in the incubator. Here's hoping for a good hatch!

Quote: Sounds like they're in the same bind I was in. I did get rid of three, so that's pretty awesome. Now I have 3 roos and 2 hens.

Quote: Sand is your friend! put in a couple loads of sand & it'll help w/the drainage & the smell will go away. As for the view, IDK, maybe your 'puter is messed up? everything looks the same to me!! I'll have to give sand a try, thanks! My view looks fine now in my office...must be...

Hey y'all! Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Honestly, I spend zero time dealing with my chickens right now. My husband and kids took over duties during my pregnancy, but I'll be back to it soon. However, mine is nothing compared to what you guys have going on. I have about 30-ish...

Perolane-Your avatar is adorable! Merry Christmas, everyone! (Or, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, whatever you're in to). I'm getting ready-boiling some of my girl's eggs as we speak for gumbo and potato salad. Yum. I sold 3 of my roosters this morning, along with the two chicks I had. Very happy...

I got my oldest to help me sort out the roosters I'm trying to get rid of so I could get some pics. I have someone coming to pick up the blue/grey one Friday, and I'm hoping she takes more, but here they are. I have two more, but I'm keeping them. And, here's the mean one:

Quote: I've heard of people taking obviously "weaker" birds to use as a bait of sorts to train the bigger ones. I'm just paranoid. And it doesn't help matters that I really do get attached to my chickens.

Oh, yay! A lady that bought chicks from me a few weeks ago just called and is coming to get at least one of the little Roos this Friday. I feel better.

Quote: Why does it make you nervous?? I've given away plenty of roosters on CL!! rland, Welcome!! I worry about people fighting them. I don't know if anyone here is into that, but it bothers me. I mean, they're freaking silkies. Lovers, not fighters.

Quote: Send me a few pics of the ones you want to sell (not the mean one) and I'll see if my local feed store wants to try and sell any of them. I have had good luck with them and my last two roos that they sold for me. Took all of 2 days I think! LOL, Or I'll trade you some BO chicks for...

Quote: I put one on craigslist. Always makes me nervous with roosters, though. I totally understand. I wish that I could help you out. If I know of anyone who is looking for Silike roos, I will let you know. Thanks!

So, uhhh, I guess that's no on the Silkie roos? Seriously, though, I don't know what to do with them. We can't eat them. (Ew). And I hate to just "off" them. But, they have to go. I have some hens that are missing SOOO many feathers because of overcrowding and too many roos. I'm stuck...

Quote: Aaaah! Mine aren't the naked necks. They're cute! You can see a couple in my avatar pic.

Quote: I'm scared of silkies. Really? Why? Mine are big babies (except that one). My kids can carry them around like puppies. They're pretty useless, really, but people love them. They're definitely just pets, though. If this was an abundance of another breed, they'd be going to...

Anyone want any silkie roosters? I have several I need to get rid of because I don't have hens for them. I bought them straight run in the spring, and it now that they're getting old enough to sex (these are about 9 months old), it looks like I have majority roosters. I'm going to get an...

Quote: Aww. They look great. And they are awesome little layers. I only have 5.

Quote: I'm having the same problem. I have so many hens missing back feathers that it's pitiful. And I only have 2 roosters and they have 25 or 30 hens to go at. It's unreal. (I'm not counting my silkies or my silkie roosters because they tend to stick to themselves.) Getting rid of them...
