First one is the patriarch, He is the father of every Serama I have.
Of all the cockerels I still have, he is the oldest, just starting to crow.
I have a bunch of younger ones still to grow up, Some are developing large combs.
You can see I do not breed to an SOP, just a basic Serama...
I have one actual adult breeding rooster but I have a bunch of his sons, one is just starting to crow and the others are still small but fully feathered. I will take pictures tomorrow or Thursday and post them. I am just hoping to find someone who is also looking to get new blood in their...
I would say Southern States in Salisbury but that store just closed, Maybe Goodmans hardware in China Grove which is a charming feed store on main street. I have been going to Statesville lately to the southern states store because its on the way to the feed mill I get feed at. If all else...
I am considering ordering meat birds this fall, probably Red Rangers or another free ranging type of meat bird. Anyone near Salisbury who want to split an order or only get a few birds off of someone else large order let me know. I am not sure when or if.
Anyone interested in doing...
thats why I promote local feed mills that I like and have great prices, I want them to stay in business so I can get such a great deal on quality feed. I also want to hear where others get their feed from if its not a big box store. So others can find multiple options and keep these other...
I haven't even thought up a price yet. I have no idea if they would all get along, even if they were the same age and breed they might or might not. The Seramas would be a bit older (about a year old now) so they would start out at the top of the pecking order most likely and they aren't...
I have Seramas, I wasn't thinking of selling them but I can afford to part with 2 hens. They will be a bit older but also a bit smaller than Bantams. I have gotten them to live in a coop and a run instead of a cage this summer. They have adjusted well to scratch and peck life.
There is a place in Statesville where you can buy feed straight from the mill at very low prices, I go once a month and get both chicken and rabbit feed. They have feed for many other livestock too. 4000 Taylorsville Highway in statesville.
I currently am not prepared for another bantam rooster, try to give him away on craigslist and if no one wants him I can build a set up here for him. I am currently trying to keep my rooster population to a minimum though and the only ornamental birds I am keeping are Seramas. They are so...
I was talking to a guy from Mississippi who does a homestead channel on YouTube (Deep South Homestead) and he told me we were fortunate to have choices of places to get feed in NC. I would hate to live somewhere that only had TSC. TSC feed is either very expensive or very poor quality (and...
Near Statesville? Good news on feed, G & M Milling has very low prices on Chicken Feed.
I go once a month and stock up on feed. I promote them when ever I get the chance because I want to make sure they do not go out of business. I don't want to pay Southern States prices for feed...
I was born in Sanford almost 5 decades ago, and moved out 2 years later. Haven't been back since 1984 and I was living in NY by then. After spending most my life either in NY or overseas or in the Military. I am back in NC and need an excuse to go see the place where I was born so...
I forgot to ask, what part of NC are you in, I will keep an eye out for your area too, I actually enjoy reading over craigslist chicken ads... and what else would you be looking for. Craigslist is fun to read through. Sometimes a breed of something comes up I never heard of and I...
I wish I could use a phone, I would pick up a breeding pair. If I was desperate for them I would have a friend call for me but Bresse isn't on the top of my list its just on a list of things I would get if it was really hassle free.
Anyone near Elkin interested in getting their hands on some Bresse Genetics. I found this on Craigslist and would jump on this if I could hear well enough to use a phone, I only reply to people on Craigslist who text...
