Hey guys! Sorry I kinda dropped off the face of the earthfor a while lol. I had the fair and then catching up on school. Anyhow, I got all my young ones in the big coop now! And I got some meat hens at the fair I'll be slaughtering soon.

What breed do you have? Glad you are back..

Ok, ya all are not going to believe this!!! One of our neighbors would like a rooster for his flock.. e

So with that said let us know what y'all got to give a way??? And I must add this...

I have plenty of roosters available; full adult or juveniles.

Are they silkies?? He did say not bantam..

He said he would like a medium size, people friendly.. I am giving him 2 of our girls.. He also has another hen from his friend.. His coop is almost done..
How about you send some photos.. I will have pick of the litter when it comes to Roos..

That is the roo. He is friendly. His name is Sven. I have more pics I can post later and if anyone wants him as a breeder I will give him to you. I have 3 Roos and 5 hens (NN). My fav breed so far

The meat chickens are cornish crosses, and the young hens are EE's, gold sex links and blue andalutions(I probably spelled that wrong) and thank you I'm glad to be back

Hey everyone...My boys are back on the market. The people who were supposed to buy the boys never came for them. I am moving into Lady kotadoria's place the first week in June and they cannot come with me . I am asking here, arizona backyard farmers (FB) and arizona silkies (FB) if anyone would like to buy them.

Barbarino is a Blue Silkie and Vincenzo is a Splash Silkie. They are brothers and hatched June 1, 2013. They come from Sleepy Hollow Farm in Virginia. Pastrymama hatched them at her house. I got them as three day old chicks.

Lorenzo is a Black Copper Marans who was hatched on September 21, 2013 at my house. He ended up the only one to hatch from 8 eggs. I got the eggs from Christie Davis from FB. She got them from a breeder but I do not know who.

I am asking $20.00 each for them.

How often do your quail lay? That is so cool that you have them..

They are only 5 weeks old today so no eggs yet but I did hear one of the boys crow three days ago! Corturnix grow up fast! I'm really enjoying having them. They are super calm, friendly and make cute noises. Even the crowing is pretty quiet and sounds like it could be made by the wild birds in the neighborhood. Their most common sound is just like chirping crickets.

Have you had the eggs before? Are they similar in taste to chicken eggs?
