Hello and Welcome! I already have a Roo Silkie but I think Sam is looking for one. Try sending them a PM and let them know. ttyl, B

Ok. They are only 3-4 weeks old now and we aren't sure how many will end up being Roos. We may try to keep one, and I don't think we'll be lucky enough that the other 11 are girls.

Ut-Oh your probably right. They are hard to sex till they get much older. I personally can't tell unless they crow and most Silkies that I've had don't crow much at all!

Hey All CT Peeps,
I posted something on the Chicken stock page. I Figured I'd post here too. Anyone do a Chicken stock/swap in CT? If not anyone interested in doing one? I would but, I do not have the right place to host. But, would love to help if anyone does one.
Thanks, Beth

Here is a link to the 2009 CT Chickenstock thread in case someone hasn't found it on their own. I think it may have some discussion about those who might be interested in doing it again but at a different location. Not sure. We had a blast at those two Chickenstocks at MooseHillFarm's place.
Wish we had space to do one here but we don't.

Hey,

I'm sorry Sam I must have logged out and not seen this. I was busy loading up a For Sale on the Silkie I just rescued. I know you do not want any Roo's but, would you know anyone else in your Chicky Group or 4-H that might? He's for free!! He also was shown by a young girl at the Hartford County 4-H and I don't know how he placed but, the Female Hen was Grand Champion. They are from the same Roo and Hen full bro and sis...

Let me know.

Thanks,
Beth

Afternoon everyone, New Hartford-ite here !!

We've got 8 hens, 2 White Leghorns, 2 Black sex-links and 4 Golden Comets... They're just 17 weeks old, and we've just started getting eggs from two of them..In fact, the first egg we discovered in the nest box was a double-yolker !!

Good job Momma-hen !!

Always a learning process with these hens, quite the experience !!!

Take Care,
Beth

I haven't heard from her in ages. She put a lot into the two she did and was hoping someone else would take a turn. There have been other gatherings in Southern New England since then but I haven't been able to attend. If something gets planned someone can link it to the CT thread so we'll all find it.
