Boy do I feel like a total ***, I have been joining and watching some of the "auctions" that are going on, on Facebook. A lot of these people know each other personally so right away I felt like the odd one out. i'd asked around about some eggs at first and got a few blah answers so I finally decided to actually bid on one of the guys that I had noticed got a lot of good reviews. Well before I bid him and his friends were chit chatting and going back and forth with funny friendly comments. after I bid....nothing....and I waited....nothing. So I thought maybe I did something wrong or possibly intruded on a friend to friend big idk..so I retracted like a fool! I didn't know I felt stupid really. so I seen they were some more comments about the bid so checked them out and they did mention that some bid and took it off apparently. so I commented that I had felt I did something wrong or intruded and made a joke. then I scrolled down...the admin made a not so nice comment about me retracting. and said I was banned permently. omg I wanted to wanted to cry I know that sounds stupid but I really didn't mean to offend anyone. I just really felt like I was over stepping or I didn't do it right. So now i'm pretty much black balled. I feel soo flippin small right now. and idk why. thanks for reading if you did. just wanted to vent.
 
NOLA Chicks- I used can cat food , peanut butter, and my dogs chicken jerky treats. Put the trap where the dirty deeds took place. Maybe your neighbor has her on lock down knowing something happened. Eventually she'll get back out don't give up. Oh yea I also tied the bait deep in the trap so they had to go all the way in and trigger the trap. After that you might rub your chicks w/ a cloth and then rub the trap to transfer the sent to the trap and remove yours. I know this sounds like a lot but I just took a seminar to teach my dogs to track. Learned a lot about animals and sent. Good luck !!

I am so sorry you had to experience that!

I often feel like the odd one out so I understand how you must of felt! It was over reactive to just straight ban you after you explained that you were unsure if your bid was welcome. Don't feel welcome? Fine. We ban you. That's just awful.

If that's how they act, your better off without their eggs!

Hey LA chick lovers! I am fairly new to this site and thought I would say hi!

I live right smack in the middle of the state! We have kept chickens as pets for many years for eggs. But this year we have done some meat chickens and have a whole new young(12week) flock. Our few old ladies that were left just weren't putting out any eggs anymore.

Between the chick my girl brought home from school, and the ones she picked out at the feed store to keep it company, and the 1 "Rare" chick that came with our meaties.........we now have 4 roosters :/ and that's not considering what the 3 silkies are. I really hope they are all hens! Adorable little fluff balls that they are.

So we have our main egg layers 2 Americaunas(that's what the feed store calls them, who knows what they really are called. But they lay green or light tan eggs) and 3 Red Sex Link. I really think I may need more full size egg layers, but time will tell. I am used to having more like 10-12.

The Others......This time my girl picked out quite a few kinds of chickens we have never had before. So it has been a neat experience seeing them grow and develop. She picked out 2 little matching chicks that we thought were Bantams but which turn out to be Mottled Houdans. And a pair no less. That's where 1 rooster came into the mix. The 3 Silkies, 1 black and 2 grey. 1 White Frizzle hen(is that a frizzled Cochin???) and 1 white Cochin Roo(Ugh! The most adorable little cotton ball on the planet!!!) And lastly is the big roo that came from her school science teacher. He started out as a tiny little black chick with a white spot. It seems that he is a Barred Rock Roo........but as there are quite a few kinds of black and white barred breeds......I will reserve final opinion for awhile until he is a bit older.


So now for questions on my mind.
I am thinking of breeding the Houdans(which I refer to as Who Dats ;) for dual purpose. But I would need to incorporate at least a few more hens. I would love to get good stock and it would be great if it came from within the state.
I am pressing little miss to be in 4-H to show some of these chickens. She wants to keep ALL the roos!!! At least one is going, the extra that came with the meaties. But I know nothing about showing poultry at the Rapides Parish Fair. I'm sure there is a simple process or place to find the info.
BYC is a terrible place to read about chicken maladies!!! I now am wondering if some of these youngins have mites! LOL!

I don't know that I can contribute much knowledge to this thread, I just have a farm in my backyard. SHHHHH! Don't tell the neighbors those are meaties back behind the shed!
