Hello! :D

Howdy folks! I haven't been on much (it's been crazy). Important question: does anyone here do bantams? I have a pair or trio of silver Sebrights, a pair of gold Sebrights, a pair of black & crele OEGBs, and some mismatched pairs/trios of banties. I love them, but I'm really trying to steer...

Sorry for the long post, I just figured I'd preempt things I've already covered :/

Hey all, I'm really behind in life in general, and this forum specifically, but I have a problem and I really am hoping for some help... Last night, two of my geese and six of my ducks did not come inside. I was away most of the day yesterday. I assumed that they were outside somewhere (which...

Have you looked at Cackle? They offer Anconas. If you pay through the nose you can get a small order, too.

I'm loving everybody's pictures! I got a shipment of 45 chicks this weekend, but the PO lost them for a while day. 14 have died :( so I canceled my future turkey order. On the brightish side I guess this means I can pick up chicks locally instead. Last night I tried to bring in the poults from...

Maybe she's trying a new workout routine ;) I'm glad I doesn't seem like a problem!

13 of my duck eggs are fertile and looking good, the eggs MC gave me are looking great, I picked up my new roosters (silkie and frizzle) yesterday, and last night I found out they'd discounted the grown-out silkie chicks at TSC... Between the chicken train and my incoming orders I'm going to...

I know where Janeway's coming from! I'm so peep-crazy I'm starting to wonder if I've gone broody myself :drool all those cute babies at the TSC... The cashiers probably think I'm nuts.

Fifty cent silkies!? Too bad it's 3 hours away. :P There are some 3-week-old silkies at the TSC near me and I told myself that if they're still there the next time I go I'll just take the lot of them. Looks single to me, too, and I have a dark Cornish hen. Your peep doesn't look like she did...

I've got 14 hens with three nest boxes. They used to lay in two of them (never the middle box, which they use exclusively for pooping ). Now a very cranky banty has taken over one, so everyone just piles in the one box. Whatever works for them, I guess. At least they use the nest boxes. My ducks...

That's what happens when you do chicken math. I went out tonight and discovered that while I was away, my family didn't think to check the duck run for eggs, so I've got a week's worth of maybe-fertile duck eggs destined for the 'bator now. Thank you again for the offer. People here are so...

:D oh boy! I love when you guys enable me!

Anybody near State College have fertile hatching eggs? One of my girls went broody and the roosters don't arrive until next week. >_>

I second the vote on Metzer's. Their order minimums are quite low and their birds are beautiful. Great selection of waterfowl, too. @Auroradream26, I'm jealous! I would love an emu but enough people have complained about behavior that I'm wary. If this works out for you, let me know ;)

@Auroradream26 if you still have spare silkies by the time the chicken train meets up in Bedford... oof, I need more birds like I need a hole in the head, but I walked into the TSC today and almost broke. So many Khaki Campells and silkies! I'm glad that your girl found "the one." They're so...

You're like me, I see -- the ones that are the most difficult are the ones that I get the most attached to! Unless it's a bad roo... Then we become close in other ways.

@Auroradream26, it may be a bit too long of a wait, but I'm getting a Cackle Surprise at the beginning of April. I'm in State College, and I think you're in my neighborhood sometimes... I could send pics of whatever shows up and she could pick whichever she likes. Of course, I won't know sex at...

@emorems0, thanks for the update. Unfortunately since the chicken train will be on the move on a weekday, I will be at work. It's probably for the best since I'll have something like 85 various peeps showing up over that next week... My dreams of midget whites will have to wait. The sourdough...
