If you have been taking care of this ladies chickens for almost six months I am not sure I would use the term friend in refering to her. Also, possession is 9/10 of the law they say. I would give her notice and then after 30 days take possession. I don't know how many birds your are talking...

Oh no!!! Don't tell me they don't bill until they ship. There goes my tax refund.

Can't believe they are so big already. Seems like just last week you were waiting for them.

I don't think it is a GLW. They typically have golden/brownish feathers laced with black. The pattern on your hen seems to more match the cornish than anything else. She could be a cross of some sort. Good luck on your surgery. I had hand surgery several years ago due to an injury and, except...

konachicks, whatever you used, that is a beautiful picture. I did not know they had wild turkeys in the Islands.

sounds like your friends chickens are paying rent

That is one nice kitchen. You will probably have your own HGTV show soon.

My 6 year old niece says that those egg colors happen because the hens toner cartridge is low. Children of the technology age?????

What a nice idea and what nice looking birds. I only have 22 but they are next to impossible to get individual pictures of...especially since I too have camera hogs and end up with pictures of chicken eye balls half the time. Weather here in West Texas is misserable today as well. Yesterday it...

" I would like to find him a White Faced Black Spanish chicken. I think he'd like one of those." Ideal has White Faced Black Spanish available beginning mid-Feb.

Maybe they are looking up waiting for the Stork to make a delivery. Whatever the case, patient perserverance is the only way to wait for eggs. It is a long and drawn out process with long days and warm weather. This time of year just slows down everything. Mine have gone from 22 eggs a day to...

Be they family or just friends there will always come a time when that relationship and the proverbial line in the sand have to meet. I have had these kind of inconsiderate "confrontations" myself and the solution is never easy or comfortable. They took their cats. The next step, for me, would...

I use the large pine shavings and we all know how dusty they can be. I top off with about an equal amount of straw. The chickens take care of mixing it all together. And, my dust is cut at least in half if not more.

I know that and my LF did just fine in the last cold snap with temps in the teen and snow on the ground. But the Bantams are just so little...you know what I mean. I know they will do fine and be living a life far safer and warmer than if they were wild birds but ...

We have been having really unusual weather...even for West Texas this time of year. One day it was almost 80 the next it was in the teens and snowing. Today we had almost 9 inches of rain in about 6 hours. Lots of flooding in the area now. I have built them their own pen and "coop" which is...

Hey, I don't have chickens as pets, the hatcheries just ship me the spoiled birds. But from what I am hearing I think I may order a few Cream Legbars from Mayer. Others I can order from Ideal. They are only about 300 miles from where I live and I have dealt with them in the past. Except for the...

I love my Sebrights. They are fully grown now and ready to go outside but I am hesitant to move them because of the weather. I know they are actually hardier than you might think but even full grown they are just barely the size of a small dove and so delicate looking. Problem also is that I...

Don't know about Meyer specifically but I recently ordered 8 Sebright Bantams from another hatchery and they included 7 Red Broiler roos for body heat. So, yes, Bantam chicks and LF chicks can be shipped together.

Right now I am thinking about Cream Legbars and Barnevelders. Probably another one or two less rare breeds but those two specifically.

I am seriously considering purchasing a few birds from Meyer. Just wanted to know, from those who have dealt with Meyer before, does the quality of their birds justify the higher price? They have some breeds that I have been wanting but they are not exactly cheap.
