"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

I have a beautiful and very friendly RIR rooster that I need to find a new home for. He's crowing early in the morning, and since I live on a small lot in Metairie, he's disturbing the neighbors. I hope he can go to a good home and that he won't be eaten. He's very friendly and will hop up on your lap to say hi. He's not aggressive at all. 4 months old and a pretty large, heathy fellow. Please send me a message if you live in or around Jefferson Parish and you're interested in taking him.

Bump. Is there anyone who can think of how I can find a new home for my rooster? Only reason I can't keep him is because he's too loud and my neighbor's houses are close due to my smallish suburban backyard.

This is the last thread to need a bump, we are pretty active. Roosters are hard to get rid of because everyone already has too many. Most people will not purposely pay for a roo unless he has a proven show breeding line. Best bet would be a local swap or the soup pot. There are threads on here to help quiet your roo if that is what you want. I don't know if they work as I have never wanted a quiet roo, I like the noise. Good luck.

Welcome to all the new eggs today!

You people sure have been active, I had a lot to catch up on when I got home. Congrats on the kill! Cute "lap dog" pics! Kuntrygirl...Are you NUTS??? Third fire pit, I understand...Bat house? NO! They get into everything and while you can harvest their poo for money or better, there is only ever enough to stink to high heavens and not enough to do anything with. I had one follow my rooster onto the screened in porch last week and almost flew into me before knocking himself out trying to fly threw the screening. I have some that I never wanted in a barn that I no longer enter, no use trying to get rid of them because it would take more time money and effort than it is worth.

Hi, I'm new to this, we live in south Shreveport, just outside the city limits. We have 12 babies in a pen in the garage. And just received some eggs today, going into the incubator. I enjoy watching the babies. Playing. I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions.

I had a dog years ago. She died at the age of 13 years old a few years back. She was a pit bull but she didn't know that she was a pit bull. She was just as gently as a lamb. I was always afraid that someone would steal her because she was so frienldy, so I had to always keep my eye on her when she was outside. She was a spoiled house dog that slept in the bed with me every night. The night that she died, I called my family (sisters and brothers) to let them know that she died and they surprised me by showing up at my house the next morning and we had a memorial service for her. My brother dug a 5 foot deep grave under her favorite pecan tree and we buried her. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. She has a head stone and everything. I get too attached to animals.

If I were to get another dog, it would be a guard dog for the chicken yard and I'm not sure I could stand to have him/her in the chicken yard working and not inside chilling out with me.

That is so sweet the way your family came over and had a service with you. We have a pet cemetery on our property. It's painful when we lose them. That's because we had so much fun an love with them . I'm sure another dog will find its way to your place. They can protect and live in the house. When Sadie killed the possum the other night she was in our room she bugged me till I let her out. Went straight to the possum. When she took care of it she came back in to our room an went to sleep on her bed. The best dogs are the ones who are part of the family. Or pack in dog lingo. Pam

My first ever broodies first ever hatch! In the time it took to take this picture and load it three more piped. Hoping they all hatch! I was busy all day out of town and this is what I came back to. I heard some strange noises in there and had to pick her up to check it out. The grey one is from my main pic and blue egg, the other one is from my main hen and brown egg. The 4 blue eggs were in the fridge and the last 4 laid before going broody, guess it doesn't matter if they are cold a few days. When I figured out she was broody I just had to have more like her. I guess it is like boiling water, a watched pot never boils.

I'm with you on that one you can't make enough money to put up with the smell. Just ask Ron If you read what I posted today you'll get that one.
You've let the bats have your barn and your calling kuntrygirl nuts?? After you do your roof enlist help relocating them. I posted how we got rid of them. It didn't cost anything just time. Pam

Bats in the attic or dangerous my aunts house caught on fire because of bat guano. It was an old house the bats were there when they bought it an from years of bat guano build up on the electric wires it ate the insulation off the wire an the attic caught fire. Please put your bat house far away from your home.
