Hi Stain, welcome.
I LOVE Danielle at CFSN she is so knowledgeable and helpful. I have some golden buffs, easter eggers, barred rocks, and a couple naked necks I got from NC feed supply. Oh, and one little polish chick snuck in too . She will get you what you need.
I always bring a small cooler...
I am getting some chicks from Norther Colorado Feed Supply today and in two weeks for a special order, (not really that special, just asked her to hold what was ordered). I really like Daniel at NCF. I live in Boulder and it is worth the drive. Daniel always gets orders right and is patient...
Happy New Year Colorado!
Cochix, sorry for your loss.
I had a predator get 5 of my birds. It was 100% my fault too. I hadn't been closing the coop up at night. I thought nothing could get in with our fence and three dogs. Well, I was wrong and my poor chickens paid the price.
I had just...
you can still test your flock for Mareck's even if they don't have symptoms . They can be carriers.
Take 4 or 5 birds up to CSU vet center in Fort Collin's. They meet you in the parking lot and take blood from all of your birds and combine the blood to test it. I forgot how much it cost, it was...
Cute egg box Trish!
Cballiu-I just signed up for Colorado chickens Facebook page. Thanks for the tip.
Good luck finding a home for your rooster Auntie Moose. Keep us posted!
I have some roosters I am pretty much resigned to harvesting this fall. The little bantams are from good stock, so I...
I have some lavender Ameraucana bantam roosters that are probably 4 months old now, you can have, or anyone can have. I have two extra. I got them from Fowl Stuff http://fowlstuff.com/PhotosBantams.html
Bummed about Wardles not taking any more I doubt I will be able to find homes for them. I...
I have been buying fly predators from Spalding Labs for 4 summers now and we have almost no flies at all. https://www.spalding-labs.com/
We use the fly predators at the Farm I work at too. I am a huge fan!
The only birds I have are crows and magpies and owls. They don't seem to bother each other, only songbirds
Edited to say, we have lots of hawks too, lots of hawks. They are like sparrows here, they are everywhere.
eek. That is scary 21 hens.
Yay firefighters!! We just had a nice 15 minute cloud burst here in Boulder! Cooled things right off.
I have to show you guys what my granddaughter did. She painted the inside doors to the coop. I keep the right door open during the day and I was telling her how I...
Welcome to all the new people here
I am in Boulder County zoned 'rural estate'. That means I can have pretty much all the chickens and roosters I want, I think something like 100 per acre that you own.
So, I know I am mental for even thinking or asking this, but here it goes; does anyone...
I called Wardles and the person I talked to said they charge $10 to take roosters. Their ad on craigslist says they pay $5, the person I talked to didn't know about the ad.
I didn't ask what they do with them.
I'm Mo,
I only have extra roosters, lavender and black ameruacanas from Fowl Stuff, no pullets. If Cathy (Percheron chick) has extra EE or OE pullets you should get those! I love her birds.
