I posted about the lavenders on Face book and will put up flyers tonight. If nothing else I hope this makes the thieves' lives very uncomfortable.I would be livid if these were my birds!

RE: Lavender Chicken Theft

I received a nice Thank You email today:
Hi Julie. I just wanted to say thanks again for all your effort towards getting our lavender family members home. It is so great that people are willing to go the extra mile for complete strangers. Thanks so very much for all you and the BYC members are doing to help us find our flock. James and Angie

I also received a reply from NiftyChicken regarding posting urgent info like thefts:







I suppose that craiglist is the best place to keep up with stolen farm property and what people are trying to sell. I don't know anything about those auction places like Dinky's. Maybe a member knows if they are alerted of thefts, kind of like pawn shops are alerted to be on the lookout for stolen merchandise. I just did some Google searches and found several free classified ad services that feature farm animals, equipment, etc. where stolen property could be posted.


If it is approved by jchny2000, I could start a page of Indiana sources that buy/sell farm animals and equipment as well as organizations like 4-H, Indiana Agriculture Resource Council, Purdue Extension Services, and Farm Bureaus. That way, if there is a theft or other issue that relates to these groups, we would have a database to expedite communication.

I volunteered to keep the feed mill page updated, which I must admit that I haven't done because I am behind on my paying job work (it's easy to get sidetracked and spend hours on this site!) Instead of going through everyone's posts looking for Feed Mill info, which could take weeks, I am planning on doing Google searches of Indiana Feed Mills, listing them, and then it would be good if people have comments about certain places, I could list a short comment or list a contact member to PM if someone wants to know further information. (if this is ok with jchny2000). Since I only have five hens, I don't really know much about Feed Mills.

I do plan to get my paying job work caught up so I can update the Indiana info. If anyone has any input about these ideas, please post. Of course, plans will have to be approved before implementing. I just thought we all could brainstorm...

Hey all. I am going to be promoting my page, Ashley's yard sale and trade for about a week. If you got something to sell or would like to buy some stuff from your fellow facebookers give My page a try or maybe a like?

I've lurked this forum for information but just joined recently. North central Indiana native I'm just getting back into chicken keeping after many many years. Along with egg and meat chickens I'm trying quail this year as well.

Welcome!!!! Glad to have you here. What part of North Central Indiana are you from? We have a members list as well if you would like to be added. You can see our members list by clicking the 2nd link below in my signature. In our members list you can find just about any breed of chicken other fellow member has. Some of us hatch out our own chicks for resale. We also sell and trade fertilized eggs as well. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Thanks Cluck Acres

Welcome! I too am trying quail for the first time this year. So far I have no complaints. They will be butchered the end of this month beginning of next. Ill see how I like them since I've never had quail and then decide if its something I want to continue with.
