Only snag I see is I can't figure a route from Raymond WA that makes any kind of sense for ChickieLady... you are in Raymond, right? we're in Port Hadlock, on the Olympic Peninsula... :-) Hi back, and welcome!

Hey all, Anyone on here who wouldn't mind going from the Oly Pen to Renton or Carnation and back on behalf of DeltaBluezTess ? I am trying to get her a pair of Spitz, but well, it's giving me fits! Ha! Also, transport back for a pair of Rhodebars... I could pay in chicks, or eggs... send me a...

PHS, check in on your farm friend. See if the chick is still alive/age. It's difficult for chickens to be alone. They will literally die from loneliness. Or the inability to share body heat, or ending up having no 'flock manners' when finally introduced and getting their keister kicked from here...

Just wanted to note that I corrected my prev post to reflect that maintaining full time AI clean means testing every 90 days, not 30... Sorry about that. I understand wanting to protect your investment. In my case, it still doesn't make financial sense to inoculate my own birds even for sale...

Probably would be less controversial if the vaccine were more easily available/affordable for small flocks. Is it 1000 or 10000 chickens a vial does? that many for 40$ or so is fine and all, but my first "successful" hatch attempt has resulted in 3 chicks (one cream legbar, 2 icelandics). Who...

You've had a traumatic run of bad luck... where are you? Do we start networking to help you pull together a new flock, or wait until you've raccoon proofed your runs?

Well, I have these constraints, known as "property lines"... If I had acreage, I'd be the crazy chicken lady in about 5 min flat. Heh. Thank you. I just know it wasn't a name/source I'd see via the page here on BYC, and tho I know there are other forums, I barely have time for this one. 4H -...

NONONONO! My goal is to eventually only leave with FEWER than I came with!! *Other* people can leave with more... not me!! Thanks. The only thing I forgot to grab on the way out the door was the show 'key'. I really wanted to ask that young man about the HRIR cock(erel?) that took BB. Bud...

I really, really need to put together a photo booth and take good pics of my chickens. That said, thank you to PipsnPeeps for supplying me with these lovely bantam Choc Orps. 2 males, 3 females. These were taken the first day; they hadn't figured out how to go out the pop door yet, so took the...

Oi. Sorry to hear. Do you think you can keep them ok long enough to do a couple of emergency hatching sessions? Any way you can keep the more mildly injured one inside in the afternoon, to force her to rest? and keep 'Joe' company?

Look up DuckDrover. Still a couple hours left in the day... Crack me up with the short notice thing! Dunno other's excuse, but we brought in a fixer trailer, did a blackberry burn pile and been movin' chippings all day... :-)

Can you clarify 'small'? Should they be allowed to range? Or kept undercover in nice deep litter to protect the tails? -DuckDrover, how large a parrot cage? :-) And how are your Lavs turning out?

Welcome. Wish we had the space for a range :-) we go to the club in Pt. Townsend for practice. Drives my mom nuts. Best reason in the world. VERY nice rock removal set up! Me, I have no rocks, but no soil, either. The whole area is one ancient sand dune. Some places have duff over the...

LOL. Do you allow liberal trading for meat, for my dog, of course... PM me if you do! I love duck and goose; we tried hard to find a bigger property, but the VA is so darn picky.

Ha! Well, no pond, 0.25acre city lot... Um. yeah. Mess. LOL. And with no housing, and little cover, somethin' would get 'em. Probably starting with my dog.

That's quite the list. Pictures, of course, are required at some point. I always admire the ducks. I just can't handle the mess!

Going, hoping to obtain some bantam Choc Orps while I'm there... and look at everything, of course! Maybe I'll wear a name tag this time!

Someone chime in if I get this wrong, but basically what you want is just enough air movement to make sure they get clean air and the humidity from their bodies/breathing can clear out. If you can put a small pennant in there, and make sure it's not flowing like a flag in the wind, then you...

Not a thing. But there are 11 to keep each other warm in one coop, and 6 in the other. If I only had 2, I might be tempted to add a tiny infrared lamp or my personal favorite for my brooders, a seedling mat (meant to get dirty and wet, and doesn't mess with circadian rhythms like lights can. As...

Hmm. My understanding was that "bantam" genetics were dominant? Matt? And where would you find out whether a smooth feathered Sizzle is possible? For MOI... curious.
