Hi all Im in south east MOi about an hour from st louis Anybody know of a person sells pure breed hatching eggs?Not a hatchery I have been getting them shipped and the % of hatch is pitiful From st louis to Rolla or even Jeff city/ Columbia area would be fine.

What kind of eggs are you looking for ? Right now the seramas and Sussex are laying. The polish are taking a break. I am in Bloomsdale just off 55.
Would any body like some Swedish flower cockerels ? I have extras. I also have some half Swede half polish pairs. Very interesting. Oh and lots of seramas.

I think I've heard that a lot of breeds have taken a vacation with this heat.

Actually, today's temps were better than they have been for two months...if this continues, maybe every one will start laying again.

Seramas are so fun. If you ever decide you want some let me know. I have some that are not going to be shown or bred that need homes.

Hi there Missouri! We live in the Lake of the Ozarks area. I just wanted to say hello to my fellow statesmen and women.
And since I am here ask if anyone knew where I could find some Barred Rock Cochin hens? I am looking for a few ladies for the good looking fellow pictured below. Thanks and hello again!

I just recently got a young bantam barred Cochin, a girl, I believe. That is, assuming the gender color difference is the same in these little ones as it is in the LF breeds like Dominique and Barred Rock. She's about 7 weeks old. I don't know anything about her bloodlines, but she is a doll. Would you be interested? We could meet somewhere in the middle, say, the 54 & 13 Hwy junction, or, if I can get it coordinated, I have a side trip to Dixon I'd like to add in, to save on travels. If you're interested, send me a message.

No rooster and we are seeing other hens peck at her back

If they're crowded or bored, that can happen, or if their diet is low in calcium. Try adding baked, crushed eggshell, or oyster shell, where they can have it free choice, for the calcium. Give them things to occupy their time, like tying up a head of lettuce or broccoli or something for them to peck at besides each other. Good luck getting your chicken misbehavior stopped.

If you haven't already joined Chicken Swap of MO on face book, I think someone has some to sell (or did she buy them - in which case she could tell you where they came from).

Edited to add that the lady selling them is in White Church, MO (I don't know if that's close to you or not - I don't even know where it is)
