That's great, Har, good luck with your hatch.

You can get stretchy leg bands that are easy to apply and remove on Ebay, they are available in different sizes, the birds don't mind them at all.

Doing well, thanks. I have decided to wait plus my wife is doing a bantam BCM project. Trying to focus on the EOs and black and blue LF Plymouth Rocks. Plus the pigs and the garden. Then 2300 feet of fence.....

I'm wondering if I have too many cockerels.
1- Welsummer
2- EOs
10- ladies

Right now we have:
1-EO cockerel (back-up with white legs) with 3 Orpington pullets
1-EO cockerel (main man) with 2 EOs, 3 Welsummers, 2 other pullets
1-Welsummer cockerel that wants to be with the Welsummer girls and such, but ends up without any pullets because he jumps the fence and struts around trying to impress the girls who are behind fences.

I'm in need of more EO pullets, but limited by space.
I think I either need to get rid of the back-up EO or Welsummer cockerel to make everyone happy.

When free ranging happens it crazy here!

Where could I source some EO pullets? I'm trying to find some girls for my Rooster.
If anyone has ANY they are willing to let go please pm me. Thanks.

Try pm ing Ron , he seems to have a pretty good handle on what EOs are doing in CA.


Unless you have in mind a REALLY long roadtrip, in that case I can help you!

Where are you located? I'm always down for a road trip!
I got my Rooster from Ron. I don't Think he had any hens for sale. I'm not sure though.

Several months ago there was a post about someone having Basque Hens laying eggs in California. I think the person was on the coast. I will ask today when I go to the chicken party in Turlock.

Central Virginia - yup - East Coast.

And you would be certified chicken crazy to do that one.
