Idaho?

[TheChickenQueen]

Hey Idaho peeps! My 2015 Pullets for Sale picture folder has been started on my qcu poultry facebook page if anybody is looking to add to their flock this season. I'll add to it as I go through my grow out pens over the summer and into the fall. https://www.facebook.com/QcuPoultry

When will you be going through your orps? Would you have any cockerels available? (I'm looking for a black one and both of my blacks look like pullets )

If I could figure out a chicken train as I can't go down there...

Nice! I'll look at them if I ship chicks in again next year. I'm looking at Holderread right now cause I've heard excellent things about them. Caldwell is... I wanna say a 7 or 8 hour drive? I was hoping for something in Spokane or surrounding areas, like a max of a 2 hour drive or so

what are you looking for? I'm in Post Falls, ID... Just across the stateline from Spokane

I'm going to go through my orps probably around the 15th but if you're looking for cockerals, I have identified plenty of those already.

Does anyone near the Boise area have any bearded silkies/fertile egg?

Hello, I just wanted to say "Hi" on the Idaho thread! We are in Boise and have a small backyard flock of 8 hens, and currently have a broody BO, Beatrice, sitting on a big nest of fertilized eggs! So excited for that new adventure!
I'd also like to talk to other Idahoans from around the Boise and surrounding areas about our local chicken/livestock laws. We are considering moving to a small acreage from a subdivision, and would love to own a rooster and have some freedom in managing our flock. Any thoughts, local experiences, or ideas?
I'd also like to learn more about our local breeders in the area, if anyone knows of serious chicken breeders, producing quality pullets for sale, interested in various breeds (suffer from chicken math). ;-}
Thanks!

I'm in Nampa. I just go some new Black Australorp pullets from Dunlap Hatchery in Caldwell. They are so far doing good; they haven't started laying yet being only 1 month old. I hope to start breeding them when they get to that age. For other birds I have Indian Blue peafowl. I'm going to be showing my White peacock at the Canyon County Fair. He's only a year old. Hopefully next year he will have a train like my Indian Blues. Or hopefully I can get the Indian Blue peafowl tame enough to show.

Hey Idahoooo! How are you guys dealing with this heat?

My broody hatched 3 chicks and I swear she is gonna kill them keeping them under her wings. They have fresh water, food, and some frozen veggies but she is kind of crazy and when I try to move her away from them she does not like that. She has smothered a chick or two in her day and also raised some chicks like a good little mama so I don't know what to do.

Will she be smart enough or will they be smart enough to leave out from under her if they get too warm?

Her body regulates its temp, it may actually be cooler under her wings and out of the sun. do you have a shady spot near a tree or bush that you could move them to, that could help her keep cool while she protects her chicks.

Hi Idaho Peeps,
Is anyone selling Americana pullets or chicks, in or around Boise?
