we have three 8-week old EE boys (& 1 iowa blue) if any interest .
i'll be coming down to angola thursday morning, & could bring any of them along for a pickup at the R.K. store (also have two 2-week old EEs)
Love the splash look he has, will be awesome to pair with a blue or black hen!. . . & this guy is going to go to his new home thurs morn on the way to IN (prob one of my favorites of the 12 total 8-week olds we have - love his color/pattern)
That's just a horrible thing to have done to you and your family! I'm so sorry. She was a very distinguished looking little lady. Forgot to mention "Woohooo on the lumber! !!" I wish I could come across something like that!Welllll, we just got home from Menards! We went for some coop lumber, and stumbled across a pallet FULL of 2x4x8 and DH snatched it! Estimate we got it for about 27 cents a board. They have pallets of new wood on occasion that falls below B grade. Our intention was pressure treated wood for the new coop bases. Still got that pressure treated lumber, but now, WOW am way ahead on what we had planned to buyNow, we have enough for several coops! After my mysterious losses this last month, the majority of my birds are going to be cooped, and locked in with padlocks going forward. I have a strong suspicion it is kids
. There is a group of boys on bicycles coming into the yard odd times of the day and evenings. I have ran them off several times, and this last week was not very nice what I said either!
Since I am gone so much with my parents appts Its gotten worse. Talked to a friend on the PD and he is watching to see "who" they are! I have invited not only the local PD but county PD also to please park and watch the park and speeders on our road. And please, stop the kids from taking my birds too. I am sick to think what was done with my missing birds, they were all the people friendly ones we adored. One hen, Bunny was 3 years old. She would fly right up on DHs shoulder for a cracker. Our dually bed is full of lumber tonight. Its heartbreaking having to confine them and does not feel right to me. But at this point I have to protect them until these kids are stopped. My geese and ducks are untouched, and so far my turkeys. Those birds do not tolerate aggression from anyone, and will not approach strange people. I think this was DH's final straw realizing his Bunny girl is missing too. She went missing sometime friday, so I am not feeling hopeful.
