Hi fellow Coloradans! I am 50 miles east of Colorado Springs and would love to make some good local poultry contacts. I am interested in Wyandottes and Jersey Giants.

Welcome to the Colorado Tthread!


Someday I think it would be fun to grow out some Jersey Giants for meat. Not this year though......

Ping and Poof still need a good forever home. Ping is a Pekin and Poof is a White Crested. Both are drakes and get along great with other animals. If you are interested in them please send me a PM. They are free to a loving home.

I thought you had found a home for them, bummer. Hope someone snatches them up.

Well, it happened to my flock today. One of my only two aracaunas got taken by a bobcat while they were out free ranging. That was the one that had just started to lay blue eggs. I know it happens and I don't have much of a chance of fencing off my 5 acres but that sucks. I have to figure something out around my place so It does not happen again. That sucker will probably be back and that means its trap time. Time to get some fencing and such to try and make it a whole lot more difficult for this to happen again. I have told my girls if the chickens are out that someone needs to be out there with them from now on until I can get some security around the coop where it is close to the woods and the path to the creek.
