Colorado

Coloradochick,

It definitely sounds like you are in a loosing battle. I was lucky enough to have a landlord who was up front with me. I would probably do the same thing in your position. I had thought about not paying rent long and hard, but ultimately decided I still needed her reference to get into a new place so...

Ok now back to the Chickens!
It's official that both of my cuckoo marans are roo's. Got video of both of them crowing this morning. Dang I so wanted some dark eggs, but now my laying flock of 5 birds is down to three birds, that will never do. I think I'll make the run down to that lady who posted on craigslist for chicks for a $1.00. Long way to go to get chicks but she did say she would trade a couple of her babies for one of my cockerels since that is what she is needing.

Can we post video on here? I haven't tried yet. The dueling marans is very funny with their adolescent crows.
 
Rockpile, I did pick up some chicks for MrsE. There were a lot in that brooder, so I am sure she has some left. A few had pasty butt, but MrsE said she felt she could fix em up.

Welcome Rootball

the two that had pasty butt are doing well, and haven't had a reoccurance since. They are robust little boogers and have already made short work of one very unlucky moth that had the misfortune of getting bad directions leading it straight into their lair. They get real noisy at meal times, but I do too, so I don't mind that.

and as a side note, having the pleasure of meeting Wifezilla was great, she's one of the nicest people I have met!
 
Awwww! You are making me blush!

It DOES look like Miller Moths are on the menu this Spring. The babies had one in their pen the other night. MAN those sweet little babies turned in to KILLERS so fast...LOL

(I am so proud!)
 
Rockpile,

We are in need of a new roo since our neighbor's dog got to ours. Do you still have your two roosters available? We are close, in Boulder, and can come take a look anytime.

Let me know!
 
rootball, have no fear you are not alone!
