INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[vickichicki]

I listed my roosters on Craiglist.

I will not be sad if I can not sell the Sumatra, just don't tell DH that.

If anyone wants a stake on them, let me know. Offering them for free to everyone on here.

All hatchery quality bantams 20 weeks old

White Silkie
Black Sumatra
Mille Fleur (Noisy bugger I would eat but the meat would only fit on top a Townhouse cracker)

Also offering my Porcelain D'Uccle hen

I have heard they will. Its so adorable when they all do it. Usually I see them display when I add new babies to the coop or there is something new that freaks them out.
This lil poult got to come in to meet gramma. 2 weeks and displaying

You got me there, I am a turkey noob too. PM to https://www.backyardchickens.com/u/6612/kuntrygirl

Hehe, sounds about right. Glad is going well.

Oh geez, we've got to stop posting cute photos -- it makes me want to try out so many more birds & our barn is about out of room!

I'd love to try raising turkeys (maybe midget whites??) and posting this cute little turkling (turkey-ling??!!) doesn't help matters

We're still trying to figure out what to do with all our little ducklings who are growing pretty fast... Silly us -- planning and building a barn with stalls for something unheard of as goats or sheep when everyone knows the barn stalls should be filled with various poultry

I would love to get the loud one just because I would love for my neighbors to hear a loud rooster and realize mine is not so bad, even in hawk mating season.

But DH would not like it as I have too many young roos that I can easily pick one to keep for the winter.

Wanted to offer up chicks if anyone is looking for some. I have RIR and RIR / BLRW. They are about a day old. I'm asking $3 each or 4/$10 on Craigslist. $2 each for anyone here.
There are still some hatching so I don't have a final count yet.

I figured out what caused the black poo ... berrys we have 2 malberry trees in our yard and I guess the chickens got some lol

OH yup that will sure do it.

Phew, we bought 30 cinderblocks and hauled them home today.

Gonna start working on the coop expansion as soon as we get some better weather!

UGH Hope your arms aren't sore today! They sure get heavy.

The many faces of an upset Frou-Frou bird:

And if you wondered why she was an upset Frou-Frou bird, it was because she had seen these for the first time:

(They had also seen her, hence the uncertain looks they are giving.)

May I ask why you are getting rid of them. Need new blood in the coop?

Crowing! I heard crowing today from my (little?) SLW roo!

Frankie is now almost 10 weeks and definitely not little anymore. I was surprised, because I forgot when they are supposed to start. I looked over and he flapped his wings, ruffled his feathers, and let out a rather hoarse, teenage-sounding crow attempt. A few more weeks and he'll get it down, right?

Thankfully, the neighbors said they don't mind him.

I counted 29 chickens total. Four of which are roosters. The oldest will be staying as he was part of my original flock and he looks after his 9 ladies he is with.

I just do not have ladies to match up with them. The Mille is rather dominant over everyone in the coop especially the other roosters. Even though he is a tiny thing he still sizes up to the Silkie and Sumatra. Think he would be better served with a few ladies his own size.
The Sumatra I would love to keep so if I can not find him a new home it would not upset me one bit. However he is still on offer.
The Silkie I am not 100% sure is a roo, but I really think so. I have yet to hear crowing from him although between the Mille and Sumatra he wouldn't be able to get a crow in edgeways

I need to down size at some point so I can make room for an EE rooster and depending on the outcome of my cochins (roos or hens) I would like a roo for them too.

If you have any interest in them, feel free to PM me. They are all healthy. Just not what I want for long term plans.
