same here...that would be about a eight hour round trip for me. If you were willing to meet me halfway I could do it though. In a previous post I list the pullets I have available. I have some others I might be willing to trade. PM me if you can meet halfway.
My neighbor's guinea and chicken come around just enough to eat the chow I leave out for them and chase my chickens/ducks around a bit. Then they both move on... usually b/c thats about the time I take my Danes and beagle out...and they like watching her fly high up onto the roof of the house or into a tree, etc. Other than these antics, their story is a sad one.
The neighbors are both a little...off. They have had rough lives that left their minds a little unbuttoned since the wars they fought.
Last year they bought a couple dozen chickens, a few ducks, a bunch of guineas, and a few geese. They did not build them a safe place to sleep, and so the waterfowl took to the live creek in the back...which just happens to be on the border of some small farms and woodlands...aka havens for coyotes and other varmints. Which then found their way to the upper parts of the yard, where the land fowl rested, and they disappeared one by one as well.
One by one, they all disappeared, incapable of fending these monsters off, as they were all very young. More than 6 months old, less than 1 year. There are now a single RIR hen and a guinea...unknown whether male or female.
And they feel pretty threatened by my flock since we moved here, as it keeps growing after just showing up one day. The goslings will take care of any hostilities as soon as they are grown enough, I do beleive.
