So I woke up this morning to a crow from the brooder box!

I watched for a couple minutes and My ONLY surviving SL Sebright crows again!

dang it!!

Anyone want a SL Sebright roo? All I want in return is sebright chicks.

If that's possible.

Today on Craigslist there is an add for a disabled 8 month old chicken named Hazel. I soo want her to find a good home. Does any one on here has a small flock that could take a non-walking chicken?

Here is the add....

Hello, my name is Hazel. I am a 8 month old Astralorp hen that has a disability. My right claw and leg looks normal, but I cannot walk on it. I am very friendly and love to eat out of people's hands, and to be held. I lay a brown egg almost every day - even when it is very cold. My problem is that I am picked on by my fellow chickens. We are all 8 months old, and have all just started laying in the past 6 to 8 weeks. I should lay eggs every day for many years to come, but I need a place with fewer chickens.

I enjoy life, and would love to provide you a nice brown egg each and every day. Come see me, and my beautiful feathers and see if you want to take me home.

Please e-mail first so we know you are a real person.

If I could get a swap set up for Colorado Springs area, would anyone be interested in attending/selling? I am starting to look into locations but I need an idea how popular it may be to help convince the lot owners.

I have tentative approval for doing a swap at the Colorado Springs Masonic Center on one of the first Saturdays of the month.

Grandma left with 3 rapist roos, one beautiful silkie roo (to be a pet, not soup), and 4 of my baby pullets (2 from two hatches ago and 2 that currently roost with my silkie roo who she has already named, I think, arthur). My coop will be much calmer tonight and tomorrow. =)

I sure do love days where my chicken total goes down. It makes me happy.

Beakers, my cross beak, is still here.

Love my current Australorp but I have a feeling that she would not accept a newbie who couldn't defend herself well. Velvet always seems to feel the most threatened by new hens and she is in the middle of the pecking order. Call her 3rd or 4th of 6 hens.

Funny enough, I don't think my top two would mind at all.

Keep me posted! What month are you looking at starting?

A crippled chicken isn't going to work around these parts as I have the weirdest and sometimes meanest flock of all (although they have been much nicer in the past two years.) . Today I pulled my HUGE roo out of a nest box by his tail and my initial thought was that he might be eating eggs, but no, he was just checking out the situation and was a bit miffed at my intrusion.

Hi...

Do you think that perhaps younger pullets would accept her? I wonder what her people do with her at night? I have had experience with a disabled chicken that couldn't walk, she didn't live long but she was a joy. Do you think she's be happy being a house chicken if she's not accepted by the pullets? I also have eggs that are due to hatch in 2 weeks, would they get along better if I would put Hazel with them?

Possibilities?

Chook Chick- I bet Hazel would be a great house chicken, and great with little chicks too! I don't see why younger chicks wouldn't accept her, she is bigger. Since she has been handled so much, I think she would be super gentle!!
