Helloooo!!! Colorado city slickers:
I and my brood live 17 miles northwest of Holyoke . That would be 30 miles from the Nebraska border to the East and/or North.
Retired and living my long sought after dream of a small farm and self sufficiency besides I have always liked...

I still have that really nice buff orp roo that if anyone is interested in him...for free. He would make a nice trio with those hens.
How's his behavior???? Is he calm(er) than most roos? I can't possibly make a home for a strutting basket-case but once my girls are grown up...
We are distributing several hundred nucs of bees at my house on Saturday...that should be fun in the snow!! Also supposed to be putting up fence and finishing the chicken coops (chicken palaces, as my husband calls them!). I'll post pictures later when they're finished.
Hey - I have a nice buff orpington rooster from hinkjc here on BYC that would go great with those buff hens. He is just about a year old, also. If whoever takes those hens would like him, let me know!
Hi Ryan!! Welcome!!! I, too, live outside of Parker. I'm about 20 minutes east on 60 acres and love every inch of the difficult dirt!! I have a nice buff orp rooster that I am planning to rehome if you would be interested in him. I hatched him from eggs I got from an excellent breeder -...
Hey All! Just wanted to let you know that I'm entering a pair of my self-blue bantam cochins in the RMFF show this Saturday. Is anyone else planning to be at the show...I'd love to meet up with other BYC members.
Here they are:
Sackman - I want them!!! I am trying to get a mottled (especially blue) breeding pen going and having terrible luck with shipped eggs. I guess I need to know where you are before I commit, though - I'm in Elizabeth.

Wouldn't that be awesome!!! My hatch rate from shipped eggs this year has been TERRIBLE!!!!! I mean TERRIBLE!!! I haven't totally committed to coming yet because we have soooo much going on at home this weekend, but if a bunch of BYCers are going to be there, I'm not sure I could...

The 3 that hatched are doing great - I got 1 blue and wouldn't you know that my mother in law's little dog attacked her!! My husband was in the yard when it happened and saved her - she got a pretty good gash in her rear end, but she's doing better now - good thing I never planned to...
