BYC Café

Good morning. Thanks for the coffee and good luck at the swap. Fishers have repopulated North Jersey.

I don't think I've ever seen a fisher in our area.

Good morning! It is a beautiful golden fall day out there.
I am delivering some firewood and maybe splitting some for a neighbor. It all depends on how the day rolls on.
Enjoy!

Ah not the bird we called those tree rats.
Morning Cafe having my coffee.
The auction held here in Chehalis is a proper bird auction.
Banks of cages birds are dropped on Friday.
Saturday is the auction.

I better not ever go to an auction that has chickens. I'd want to buy -- a lot -- and would have to worry about bringing home a disease.

Speaking of disease, there are warnings about AI here on the local news.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

I went to a new poultry swap I found yesterday. I think I strongly offended somebody who pulled up next to me and unloaded their crate of chickens too close to my car. I immediately hopped out of my car and move my boys to the other side of my car in the shade of my open side door which served a dual purpose to keep other people from parking too close to me!
One boy got claimed. He's going to be replacing the current flock rooster that's been attacking the grandkids. The little kid attacker is going into the soup pot.

I have another swap I'm going to today that is closer to home. I will be dropping off the Easter Egger to the man that wants him. He lives less than 3 mi from the swap. I'm going to try to convince him to take one of the Ameraucanas as well. All the brothers are getting along just fine. Right now I have 4 of them in the maternity ward together with zero issues. Of course that could very well change but there are a lot of people who successfully keep two or more roosters in their flock without them attacking each other all the time.
