Anyone here keep geese?

I assume you are looking for some? I know a top NPIP breeder in KS who also ships who has both white or blue Sebastapol geese - beautiful curly-feathered plumes. They have juvenile goslings available. PM me if you're interested in them

Is anyone looking for 2nd generation GFF Isbars. I won an auction and only 6 were delivered out of those 6 five of them are Roos. They have been living inside getting a ton of love. They are all super snuggly and will eat right out of your hand. I live in SF and cannot have these boys here when they start to crow. I have 2 black 1 splash 2 splash mottled. They are beautiful and super healthy.

I might be interested. how much are you asking.

Congratulations on chickeneering!

Build FAST! Chicks at 2 months old are pretty big already -- about 3/4 their growth already.

A minimum formula for coops is to have 1-sq-ft per each chicken open ventilation near the roofline, 4-sq-ft per each chicken coop floor space, and 10-sq-ft per each chicken open run/pen space - these are minimum for chickens' health and well-being.

Make a door big enough to enter the coop for cleaning. Our first coop was only 41/2 feet tall and hard to hunch over to clean it.

So glad to hear you're having chickens. You have a nice assortment of equal-sized breeds and hold-your-own temperaments. Docile breeds would be too timid in your egg-laying group. I think you made good choices - they are all brown egg-layers but after a few times of collecting eggs you can figure which hen layed which egg as shapes and color-shading will be a bit different w/ each hen.

You must post pics of the chicks and your coop development and first eggs! There's a BYC thread called "post your chicken coop pictures here" where you can share your coop build.

I plan to create a BYC coop page when I'm completely done building my coop.

But until then I have been keep a blog that has a timeline of my progress. It's far along enough now to share. I thought some of you might like to see how it's going. I know I enjoy seeing other peoples progress.
