WOW There are more chicken lovers up here then I thought. Winter will be the time to network when there is less work to be done.
Anyone going to the National Finals Border Collie Trials in Carbondale?? First time ever in Colorado. I'm very excited and will work as a volunteer there. This trial is the Super Bowl of dog trials and all the big handlers will be there. If you do come by ask for me I'll be around!! Lynn Graziano & Owen

Edited: Found someone who has to get rid of her flock because she's not allowed to keep them in unincorporated Arapaho County - she has an EE for me! Hopefully we'll get it tomorrow.
Posting here just in case anyone in Co knows of anything or has any other advice about integrating a new chicken. I am willing to drive.
We recently lost our beloved barred rock to a Doberman who jumped my fence. She was 20 weeks - just about to start laying. My kids are crushed - we had a funeral for her. She was such a character.
I would love to find an Easter Egger or Americauna / Ameraucauna or Olive Egger - any blue or green egg laying chicken. My other three chickens are brown egg layers. We are only allowed four hens in Highlands Ranch, so I am down to three pullets. They are 18 and 20 weeks.
Ideally our new hen would be close in age to my other three, though I'm open to a different age. She must be tame; my chickens are loved pets. And don't worry: I have taken additional precautions to protect my chickens from predators from here on out.
I am in Highlands Ranch, but willing to drive several hours to get the perfect chicken for our flock. I am also flexible on the price, for the right bird.
If you or someone you know has a pullet in search of a loving family, please let me know! Tell her we have mealworms.
Thank you.

Just a heads up... I have some Welsh Harlequin hens I need to rehome. Hubby says I am over limit
(I really am for our yard size)
2 are already laying (gold phase), 2 are about ready to lay (silver phase), and 2 are a special case (silvers).
About the special case: One of my ducks (Twister) was hatched with wry neck. We didn't cull because she was a spunky little fighter and figured we would give her a chance. Her head is always tilted to one side now, but she eats and drinks fine. Occasionally she has a neck spasm and flops for a bit before she gets her head on straight, but other than that she is fine. Even swims. Very friendly goober. I have her and her sister Domino in their own pen. I tried to integrate them with the rest of the flock, but the mean old wenches zeroed in on her and attacked, so she can't be part of a normal flock. Domino never bothers her, but the other ducks are just rotten to her. Plus I worry mating would mess her neck up. So I will give Twister and Domino FREE to someone who will give them a pet-type home without other ducks or drakes. They will be great layers in a little while and would be perfect for someone who just wants some fresh eggs but has limited room. If you know someone who would be a good fit for these two, please PM me.
As for the other 4, I have posted them for sale on craigslist, but would also be interested in trading for garden produce...especially apples or pears since an early frost killed all my blooms...but I also would be interested in veggies.
