Arizona Chickens

[kpgoldstar]

Hi everyone. I have decided to re home the birds I am not going to focus on. I have 9 Polish crested I am selling. I have 3 Black white crested pullets, 1 silver laced hen (one year old), 1 pair of Buff, 1 extra Buff cockerel and a splash cockerel. Let me know if you are interested and I can send pics. I am in Tucson. I am focusing on Pure Bred Ameraucana. Black, Blue, Buff, Blue Wheaten and soon White and Silver. I will also have Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers and of Course my beautiful Naked Necks. I also have Naked Neck chicks if anyone is interested in adding to their flock. Mine are NN EE so we get colorful eggs from them.


I am so sorry for the losses. Very excited the hen was found. We have been so busy re arranging coops and building new ones. Hatching out babies. I love them, so much fun. I miss talking to you all every day. I will try and get on more.


Welcome to all the newbies. I have directed a few to this thread because we have such a helpful awesome group. I just love it.

I cannot show on the 22nd as I had planned. I just figured out its the same date as a craft show we are having at the kids school. I am the booster club president so I have to be there but I plan on coming out on Sunday so I can meet some of the BYC and Tucson cluck Peeps. I hear there is a show after Christmas in Phx area. I might look into that one.

Just one page back someone was looking for Polish.

I have a lesbian chicken! My RSL that thinks she is a rooster (and tries to crow...badly) was mating with one of the other hens when I let them out to free range today. She still does lay eggs, though they are all molting and not laying much. What is up with this chicken?

 

[aviddamy]

Maybe its not a hen? Have you kept it alone to see if its really laying eggs? That's what I would do just to make sure. If you have then maybe its just confused haha.

Hens will mount other hens to exert dominance in the hierarchy. My top bird (BA) does it all the time, mostly with the very low ranking birds. As a funny aside, when I was treating her for bumble foot we had her in a dog crate in the dining room because we didn't have a predator proof spot outside. At about 5 am on the second morning we were all woken to the ear shattering sound of her executing a perfect crow! She sounded just like a rooster who had been crowing for years, even though it was the first time in the five years of having her that we heard her try. While she was in the crate, every morning after that she would crow when she heard her flock mates outside. I so much wanted to get it on video but I kept missing it. She hasn't crowed again since she was returned to the flock.

Went to the OK feed to pick up some hay and well

I really need to stop going to places that have baby chicks...
(Sorry for the bad pic, I just snapped a quick one when I was putting them in the brooder)
I got 4 Copper Marans and two guinea fowl (if anybody could help me on the colors of the them that would be nice)

Cute chicks! Don't know how OK had them labeled, but those are not Copper Marans, those are Cuckoo Marans. You can tell by the white spot on their heads and the barring in the wings.

The had them as Copper Marans (that's what the girl there said, maybe she just said it wrong) Thanks for the info!

Yeah, well, feed stores are notorious for having employees that don't know diddly-squat about the birds they are selling.

Anyone with turkeys getting eggs right now? Had a large pointed speckled egg show up in the turkey coop.
