I have a portable building with a lofted roof that serves as my bird barn. It has a couple of small windows in the back, but not enough for good natural light - so my husband put electrical wiring in place and added some bright ceiling lights inside. It has worked out really well. My birds are...

I had a friend who lost the majority of her flock to a mink attack that occurred during the day - while she was away running errands. I hope you catch the little culprit soon!

Oh, that is good to know! I’m going to give it a whirl and see how it goes.

Any suggestions welcome: I have left Facebook and won’t be going back. I raise Ohiki and American Longtails. I presently have some adult birds I would like to rehome (reasonably priced) but don’t know my way around here very well yet. I am thinking about doing some Craigslist ads — do people...

Is this you, Janet? Birdie, here — I’ve dumped Facebook and am trying to reconnect with bird friends via BYC. Trying to get the hang of things on this site — it’s been a long while since I have been active here.

Postscript: Ohiki are a rare bantam breed from Japan. There are less than 1500 of them in the US.

Here is a more recent photo of Gonzo:

Happy Saturday, everyone ... how about this weather?! I have a barred Ohiki chick around a month old that I would like to rehome as a pet. I call him Gonzo and he has a lot of personality! Because I already have three barred Ohiki roosters, I don't need to keep him - plus, his legs are a bit...

I did not know that geese would attack aerial predators! Do you have much of a problem with any of your geese turning mean on you? I didn't have any interest in them, but you have me rethinking things. Would love that ducksghetti recipe! I said that I wouldn't be raising chicks in the middle...

@jchny2000 - the new quail sound like a great investment. I miss raising them, but just don't have the time for more birds right now - probably won't until I finish with school. My kids miss their eggs, and so do I. But for the time being, I will just be focusing on my Ohiki, fibro phoenix, and...

I will send you a PM with info on what I have left.

I am in NEIN - went to the recent Lebanon show and had to explain to everyone what I had for sale: Cemani, fibro phoenix, fly tie fowl, and barred phoenix. I am selling out of the Cemani to concentrate on fibro Phoenix and Ohiki. Still have my pair of barred phoenix and a pair of fly tie available.

@SallyinIndiana - thanks for the info. I decided to process them myself, as I can find the time. Butchered two cockerels this evening and got them in the pressure cooker in short order to make some soup. Turned out pretty good. I hatched an over abundance of boys this year, so I have some more...

Can anyone tell me of a place near Anderson that will process chickens for a reasonable price? TIA

@chick rookie - Polish was the only breed I saw at the show that tempted me. I love the Tolblunts. But it has taken me about four years to figure out what I want to concentrate on as a breeder, and I am sticking with Ohiki. :) I will also work on my line of fibro phoenix - they are so gorgeous...

They are very pretty silkies! And unfortunately, I didn't sell a single bird. I had some very nice conversations. Most folks really didn't understand what I had for sale, except my Ayam Cemani - and they weren't willing to pay the price, even though I was offering them for cheap based on normal...

Oh no! So sorry to hear about your dog - hope it is well on the mend. We met some very nice people, but I didn't sell a single bird ... very disappointing. It was just too cold to stay for the entire day, so we left close to 1:30pm. If I had known more about the show, I would have come down...

I will be bringing a trio of Ayam Cemani, a trio of fibro phoenix, a pair of barred phoenix, a pair of fly tie fowl, and various other colors of phoenix. Please look me up!

On the road to Lebanon - I hope to meet you if you're there! Look for me in a beat up old burgandy Chevy astro van!

This is what Cash looks like when the sun shines directly on him (he was enjoying the warmth and relaxing while I was holding him - thus the closed eyes!):
