Michigan Chickenstock 2011

Yeah, that's really crazy. She can't be convinced otherwise? Promise her eggs or something? Is it just the crowing that upsets her?

I can take the pekin ducks, want the drake, and the Australorps. I am sorry that you have a nasty neighbor.

Eggs won't work. She says brown eggs are spoiled and not good to eat because they aren't packaged. Also won't eat chicken unless it is wrapped in plastic from Kroger.
I'll make you an offer, Nigellas. If you want all 3 buffs, I can bring them with me tomorrow (Thursday) when I go to Matthaei Botanical Gardens. You can have them for free if you take the 2 girls and 1 boy. They have never made a noise other than a soft cluck and like to sit on my lap and eat treats from my hand.

You got 'em, Farmerboy. The pekins are yours and the BAs too.

She isn't really a nasty neighbor, we have been close friends for 11 years but all of a sudden she snapped with no warning.

Raz, I'd for sure take you up on that, though I need to be upfront with you and tell you there us a good chance we wouldn't be able to keep the Roo (they aren't allowed here) - If you still want, I'll gladly take all three and rehome the roo myself if that makes things easier on you, but I don't want to mislead you thinking he'll definitely be able to stay here.
Let me know and we can figure out a meet-up, if you still want. Though I totally understand if that changes your offer.

I understand, I've read the Ann Arbor and Ypsi ordinances. I'm just glad that you can have some poultry there. If you can rehome the roo that would be great, at 9 weeks, he is not big enough for freezer coop. The girls will be good egg producers for you once they get big enough. If you can't deal with the roo, I can take him out to Hartland until he is big enough to butcher. Even though these are the tamest chickens I've ever seen, I have no problem with anyone who wants them for meat.

I'll be at Matthaei tomorrow around noon. If that works for you, I can bring them with me and meet you there. If that is not doable, I'll be up around Hartland on Friday or can bring them to Chickenstock on Saturday.
I'll PM you my phone number so we can connect.

Maybe she just had a really bad day and took it out on you. She might reconsider tomorrow. Maybe just get rid of the roos.

 

[Carrie Lynn]

Yes, she could have a change of heart if you part w/ the roo...why not ask her?

Are you going to Chickenstock? Hope so, I'd like to meet local chicken keepers.
