I did find one yesterday thank you. The good news is I believe I found a seller. They have eight extras for me to choose from. Now cross your fingers integration goes well. I've never had to add a rooster :)

I did contact one person on there just haven't heard back yet so I thought here would be a good next search. My vet offered me a replacement rooster, but I wanted to see if there were any buff orps out there beforehand. I just loved mine so much and I like the breed in general.

Thank you for the link corewassen. Unfortunately that's about 4 or so hours north of me.

Hello everyone. I recently lost most of my flock to a weasel and I'm looking to hopefully purchase another rooster for the hens I have left. If you or anyone you know is looking to sell a buff orpington rooster (and even a hen to pair with him) please let me know. I'm not as concerned with...

I'm sorry to hear of your loss

Chickens don't die of old age at 1 1/2 years. A friend of mine has 10 year old hens that still lay eggs randomly. Their egg production drops after their first year, but the don't automatically die. I have 3 year old hens that lay a few times a week yet, then two year olds that lay just a tad...

Welcome Angela

I was told by other duck owners that the "medication" in the feed is too high for ducklings. I use regular feed just because of the fact that I have a mixed flock. So far (knock on wood) it hasn't been an issue.

Also...for ducklings avoid the medicated chick starter.

You can use a kiddie pool but you'll want to clean it often. There is an all flock type feed but you can feed chicken feed also. Just watch the protein intake, too much can cause angel wing. If you want them safe from predators you'll want to at least pen them up at night.

And don't worry too much. Accidents can happen no matter how much experience you have.

Any chance of making a little splint for her?

If that's the case, could you post the link? I haven't been able to find anything on that subject.

I guess everything is a little messy right now. On the radio this morning I heard 400,000 but like I see was stated above another article claimed 800,000. Thank you for posting those links, I was looking at a few others, but most of the stuff I've come across in the last few minutes here are...

Interesting...I heard this morning over 400,000 chickens so far, but I never heard anything about a family. Will have to do some digging.

TerriO: Small world. One of my co-workers said he just adopted a dog through the rescue you work with. I can't remember if it was male or female, but it's a black lab. Says he just loves him/her and the dog is attached to his son.

Hope it settles soon for you :)

cute!

It was a gorgeous night. The moon was so bright I was hoping to see some night critters, but no such luck.
