Bhep- Glad you were able to save the chick! I'm not surprised the snake found its way back. Snakes leave a pheromone so they can find their den and have excellent olfactory senses. Did you hear about the house of snakes in Idaho on GMA the other morning? Luckily, garter snakes aren't...

Bhep, NH, and all ... It doesn't have to be a Black Orp, just looking for an orp roo really. However, I'm probably going to get him from Green Family Farm down in Bladenboro. She has a few available and is NPIP and the whole 9 yards. Just need to get their quarantine spot ready. Speaking of...

Quote: I dunno, when I see a Frizzle, I keep thinking of the Phineas and Ferb song "Izzie's got the Frizzies" So, with that in mind, I'm thinking Izzie or Isabel for the song

Bhep- You got Lavender and Black Orp cockeral possibilities? I'll pick up your most likely black candidate. Black + Buff = something cool right?

Hey Mat, Spot is a cutie, only 15 ounces though? wow, that would be a microscopic meat bird. Bhep - Hmmm, I may take a ride down there and check out what you have as far as roos go. Maybe I'll do it one Friday morning. Not sure when exactly tho.

Bhep- Glad to hear your internet is not wonky today. I think CenturyLink is now servicing my area, so we'll see if they'll give a line 1000 feet off the road for us to drop WildBlue! Glad to see your Blind Bob doing well. That PolishX sure is cool looking! You don't have any buff orp or...

HT- where are you located at? I'm tempted to take a Juvi Roo if you're not too far away. Of course, I have some questions. What's LF? I don't plan to show, I just want good layers and table birds if I get too populated, so is it a problem to mix them with Buff Orps and Speckled Sussex hens...

Well, my 8 week old chicks are showing NO roo signs. No big flaming red combs or wattles and I'd think they'd have it by now if they were roos. So, folks, this is what I'm looking for. A well mannered buff orpington or speckled sussex roo. I'm thinking a year or less in age (unless some of...

Quote: I don't think Faison would be much further than my Benson farmhouse. It may also be easier to find. Despite being within a literal stone's throw of 40 (and I mean my mom used to tell me and my brother to go play on I-40 while it was being built it is so close), finding it can be a bit...

Quote: I'm up for that, I may have to 'borrow' a bird from someone or I could just watch. Depending on the size of the crowd, I may be able to get my mom to allow us to use the old garden behind grandma's farmhouse, though I don't think we'd have room for more than about 8 to 10 cars MAX. No...

@New Homesteader - if that is for a 50lb bag, that isn't a bad price at all. Keep me posted. We lost another chick/bird today. After the kids got home from school, as I was getting Serenity inside. Caleb runs around to the chicken pen and leaves the gate open! I later let my 2 dogs out...

New Home- Where in JoCo are you? We're down in Meadow (off 40 between Benson and Newton Grove). If you need a sitter and you're not too far away, I could probably swing by and let the birds in and out of their coop. Would only ask for reimbursement on gas probably.

Wonder if anyone would be willing to host a "Chicken Processing Workshop" at their house/farm? Everyone brings a couple of chickens or perhaps if someone was willing to raise up a few meat chickens and sell them for the 'processing workshop' for those who didn't have birds ready at that time...

Quote: We want to get into meat chickens, but need someone to show us how. Same thing here allaboutyou. would love to raise and process my own meat chickens as doing it yourself is a lot cheaper than paying someone else to do it.

Quick question - We're thinking about getting some broilers, but before I rush out and start working on that, I want to make sure I know of someone who will process them for me. (Or someone willing to come down one weekend and show me how). If any of you know of anyone who will process...

If Fuquay-Varina/Holly Springs isn't too far, then I recommend Sumner-Byrd Farm. You can find them online at www.sumner-byrdfarm.com I'm a little hesitant to buy from people on Craigslist cause you never really know the health and wellbeing of their birds. I'd rather buy from someone on here...

Bhep= I hear ya about the humidity. I've got a lot of work to do today and it's going to be miserable. We got the boards for holding up the roof netting this morning and the hubby was sweating like horse (then again, he hears the word work and he starts sweating). The 2nd layer of fencing...

Picture time! Here's the almost completed coop that my hubby and I built. Will this project ever end? All I have left to do is the hardware on the popup door (and fix it so it doesn't stick), the plywood cover thing for the big window and then PAINT! Ugh, I hate painting, but at least it...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been in lurker mode. Coop to do list - 1) fix 2nd pop up door so it doesn't get stuck half up. 2) Build and install ramp for door #2. 3) Secure outside egg retrieving doors on Nesting Boxes. 4) Trim out Nesting Boxes 5) Paint Wooo hooo, it's all easy...

Oh my, I'm sorry for your loss! I hope the others pull through. I was thinking about trying pellets, so glad you shared! We sorta finished the coop today. Put the roof on, the linoleum down, and built 1 of the 2 roosts we have planned for the coop. Sadly, I misplaced my phone so I don't...
