You will find the right person. If he only wants layers, then why is he looking at roos?? He does know that roos don't have anything to do with eggs except put babies in those eggs...right?
Glad you are home safe & sound...hopefully for a good, long while! Those pics are adorable!!!Boy it is good to be home! 2500 miles driven this last week!
Despite horrible weather while we were gone all our girls appear to be doing well.
Our lone survivor of our youngest group became very attached to us. I was out getting the chickens setup before we left and she would run over to me and jump on my lap, then up to my shoulder/head. I've never had a chicken that would do that before. Since she doesn't have a flock and gets picked on by the older girls we decided to take her with us. She loved the car ride!
Here she is while I was tending to the other chickens.
And here she is asleep on my daughter's shoulder in the car. She is wearing a harness my daughter made for her (she only wore it for a few minutes). Most of the time she sat on the back of our chairs, perfectly content.
I know. I feel so bad for them stuck in the cage. But laying hens in an egg mill would probably have 4 shoved in a cage the size you're using and that's for their whole short life. So 3 days or so won't be so bad. Of course I'm saying this to make myself feel better. I'm off to put Moe in her cage! She was broody 2x last year but I can tell by her demeanor she's much more serious this time. I went out and put her on the roost last night after dark but by the time I got to the house and looked on the camera she had jumped down and back into the box. She never did that last year. So I gotta do the cage today too.
Thx. Now I'm reading a ton about the depluming mite but there's not much out there. Apparently you can't see them and it makes them very itchy and they pull their feathers out from overpreening. I'm thinking it's that. Trying to read all I can but I think that's what it may be.
LOL, but if he took them it could have been a very bad experience for him and the boys so it's a good thing.
