Anyone have any purebred cockerels they would like to get rid of? We are looking for a couple for our pullets that will startvlaying in july we have 40 so need at least 2 more roos and dh wont let me pay for any since we give our extras away
still too far i thinkwe have 9 that are crowing and i can tell the difference between every one of them. 8 of those are silkies/showgirls. the9th is a cornish cross names crispy. he sorta sounds like a cross between a chicken/goose/kazoo. makes me laugh every time i hear him.
at a swap meet yesterday i heard a little boy say to his younger brother, "hey come look at this puppy!" he was talking about the one i was selling that looks almost identical to this one.
i'm not in kentucky
Ok i live like 5 minutes south of anderson, in so, pendleton, greenfield, new castle, anderson thats about the area i travel oh and muncie, not very often though. As for breeds i like the colorful ones that get big! We have only blues right now both cast offs also cochin and maran. I dont really care what breed my son just likes showing the roos in 4h and we usually get him a hen to match so he has a pair. He like the roos best! I like the new hampshires the marans with they red and black and the barred rocks but like i said and standard fowl is fine with me!
What i do is just sit out in the run and talk to them and put some feed in my hand. They will get brave and come up to you to see what you have. Then i let them eat out of my hand and try to pet it and also talk to it. After doing this several times it will get use to you and trust you.Anyone have any tips about what TO do when trying to get your chicks used to you?
I was thinking about what M2H and I were talking about how all the books say don't handle them/stress them. I know that I need to but I am kind of lost on where to start.
I let one of my SFH run up my arm and run around on my shoulders during her turn in front of the camera. It seemed to like that.
