Hi all! If anyone is interested, I have several roosters to give away for free. I have three great looking blue marans roos and one scrawny bottom of the pecking order blue splash marans roo who could be gorgeous given the right home. I really need to have them gone before winter sets in...

Quote: My pullets are laying eggs like that! They are so small and cute. I have 2 or 3 for breakfast.

Can anyone tell me where to get bulk chicken feed in Colorado Springs/Fountain area? We are spending a fortune on feed and constantly run out, I would like to be able to get a larger amount at a good price. ~ Thanks in advance! ~ Kathy

Quote: I was thinking of you when I heard about the fire - I watched the smoke off my deck. There was another fire last week or so that was a bit north of the racetrack which was pretty much due west of my property across the interstate. Fountain creek is right behind me and that area has a...

I still have one Black Copper Marans cockerel, a couple of Blue Marans cockerels and one gorgeous Blue Splash Cochin cockerel for sale. I couldn't bear to process these guys! If anyone is interested let me know. The BCM already has an eye for the ladies, if you get my drift. By the way, I...

Quote: Didn't clean them well? What do you mean?! Yuck, I don't want to have to mess with them much. What did they not clean?

It's finally raining here. Of course, we just finished the sprinkler system yesterday, so it was a pretty good bet it would rain. In fact it's possible it just might continue to rain for the remainder of the summer. I am trying to figure out exactly how to complete the front landscaping. The...

Quote: Ok, I know where you are. Those new homes up there behind the racetrack. You have some nice views. We drove around up there looking around when we were thinking of moving to this area. My kids are in college, but the kids around me go to Fountain/Ft Carson schools. Thats a good...

Quote: Quote: No, I don't live in Hanover, I live east across I 25 from the racetrack and my backyard borders on Fountain creek. I actually met your husband a couple of times - talking to him about trailers. You guys have a very nice business and it appears to be growing! I think I am...

Quote: We're in Midway, 3 miles west of the Raceway/ I have been meaning to say hello to WSmith, and now I can combine that with a big HELLO! to Garlinto also! I live south of Fountain pretty much due east of the raceway. It's good to virtually meet you folks!

Quote: I have a ton of extra eggs. People are not buying them this year it seems. I wonder what I will do when the rest of my hens start laying.

If you know anyone who is interested in a 9 week old Black Cooper Marans roo let me know - $ 5 Thanks!

I just moved my 5 week old chickees out to the coop to make room in the brooder for the babies. They are happy now, after freaking out during the move. They did not want to leave the brooder! <--- they were like that <--- now they are like that I do have two 5 week old Easter Egger...

Quote: This may be helpful - I haven't tried it yet but plan to. -DB That is a great article and answered all my questions. I am interested to see what "real chicken" tastes like. Thanks a lot!

Quote: You call them and make an appointment to bring your birds in. They process on Saturday mornings. They'll ask you to arrive by 9am and drop off the birds in your cages (don't feed your birds the day before) and they'll be ready to pick up within a few hours. You pay when you pick up...

I am thinking chickens that have quit laying and are past their prime would not be very tasty. Wouldn't it be tough and stringy meat? We are most likely going to have some young roosters butchered early this summer. I am thinking of going to the processing place in Simla. Does anyone know...

Quote: That is good to know that started chicks are going fast. I am going to have a few to sell and I have been a bit worried!

Quote: I have wondered that too. I think you can take them and sell them but maybe someone who actually does that will see this and answer. I am going to this nieghborhood pot luck tomorrow and several people there do the farmer's market. I will ask them.

I notice I am having a more difficult time selling eggs this year. Last year we had that salmonella scare, so people seemed to want to buy load of eggs and now this year I get very few responses to my Craigslist posting. Is this pretty typical, or is this just a weird time? I hate to have a...

Does anyone know where I can get fertile Black Copper Marans eggs near Colorado Springs? I can buy them and have them shipped, but I was thinking it would be great to find some near me so I could just pick them up.
