How old are you looking for? Hubby was already planning to get down to CS this weekend (or next) and could bring you a couple. They are s/r but maybe you can figure out which is what. Range in age from newly hatched to 11 weeks. Most are crossed black australorp girls on an egger roo, or egger girls with a beautiful blue ameraucana roo. I also have several black australorps.

I haven't started advertising yet, but I'll give first pick to BYCers. If you'd like to come up to look, that's good too. Just e-mail to discuss!

@ MyKidzLuvGreenEggz the older the better, but I dont have a lot to spend now, I may have to wait till laterin the season. so how many will depend on your price.

Biggest problem is I am in town, so I can't chance getting a roo.

I'm not sure an older bird would be such an issue. I mean isn't how you cook it anyway? anything is better than the nasty chicken they sell in the grocery stores these days. I don't expect or ask for much but I've gotten freezer burnt chicken half the time from the stores....yuck!

But better yet, my Coloradan friends....IT'S RAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this calls for a toast, no? But please still no open flames...it's a dry rain.

An old hen might not make for a tender chicken breast, but it will make a fabulous bone broth.

Well, Tiny is officially a boy. DH is still reluctant to let him go but too much longer and he's going to be heard outside the house. I'm pretty sure I heard his first attempt at crowing yesterday. He's not fully feathered yet (go figure, he's a day shy of 9 weeks and still has some fuzz on his back, behind and chest) so I'd like to wait a week or two before he actually goes to his new home.

Is anyone out there interested in a hatchery Light Brahma roo? He'd be free, I just want him to go to a home where he's not automatically destined for a stewpot.

Long legged booger isn't he

But what a handsome guy

If we could have boys I'd take him from you

Thanks.

DH and I both think he's adorable but we have a 'no rooster' law here too. Our next place is definantly going to be outside city limits.

You call them and make an appointment to bring your birds in. They process on Saturday mornings. They'll ask you to arrive by 9am and drop off the birds in your cages (don't feed your birds the day before) and they'll be ready to pick up within a few hours. You pay when you pick up. ($3 per chicken)

When we go we drop off the birds and go over to the local cafe to eat breakfast while we wait. Our birds were ready by the time we were done with breakfast.
