Bay Area BYCers!

No blues, unfortunately.

I wish he had blues too, or even whites.

Our options are (in LF), black, buff, lavender, silver and wheaten.

So only 5 lavenders?

 

[wolftracks]

OK I hate uneven numbers so lets make it 6.



hmmmmmmmm

lets change that.

4 Lavs
2 blacks
2 silvers

 

[jeremy]

Awesome! Okay, so...

Currently:
jeremy- 3 buffs and 3 silvers
wolftracks- 4 lavs, 2 blacks and 2 silvers

That puts us at 14 chicks! We're already halfway to the 25 chick minimum, who else wants in?!

I'm so tired I almost said OK. I'm gonna have to sleep on that one. LOL

Nite Jeremy. I'll check in with you when I get back home tomorrow evening.

Unless of course I can't fall asleep.

Goodnight all you night owls, I'm off to hit the hay, too.

I can't have roosters in palo alto but i have a silkie roo lol...You could do what I do...at night bring him in and keep him in a covered kennel until a reasonable hour so if he does crow it isn't at 5 am. I've been lucky that mine has slept in the coop and he still doesn't crow in the morning and our coop has a sky light in it so its bright in there. Plus usually one of the girls is beating him up to keep him quiet anyways. If you read your codes it should say in the top of the codes before you even reach all the code talk thats how it is for palo alto.

You might have a noise ordinanace, in which case, if a neighbor complains about the crowing, you'd probably have to re-home. Our cockerel was crowing for about a month (never before 7am, but pretty consistently throughout the day), but I got so incredibly anxious about annoying my neighbors that we re-homed him (he was also getting mean). But I never got any complaints. I just didn't want anyone to get resentful, you know?

Also, on weekends when 7am might've been too early for crowing, we kept Saffron in a crate in our utility room overnight and let him out at a more appropriate hour. It worked out pretty well.

I hope you get to keep him. About a month after re-homing Saffron, he was attacked by a raccoon. He survived the initial attack but the flaky owner didn't keep up on antibiotics and poor Saffron passed away. I still feel incredibly angry and guilty about it.

Renee, what a sad story about Saffron.

I hope you do know his untimely passing wasn't your fault though. I've lost a bird to raccoons and it's a terrible experience, so I know how upset you must have been.

Did you give his new owner a piece of your mind?

ETA: I'll be hatching some Dark Rhode Island Red eggs in the spring, I could hold on to a pullet, or two for y'all?
