Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

I hope you find your boy a home. It seems like *somewhere* in this thread, someone has mentioned having a rescue in SW MI, near the border. If you need to, you could go through and try to find that post.

Nova, how much of the white stuff did you get??   over by the lake they got some heavy powdering

those of you up north are dealing with it to I hear, hope no one got s-----ed in

Was a very light dusting that was gone shortly after the sun came up. We got more snow through out the day, but nothing stuck around.

Guys I need thought! We have 2 bantam girls 1 LF roo and one LF girl. Our speckled Sussex Roo is very sweet. Will he crush my bantams if he mounts them? I would like to know so I can decide what to do.

I had a LF fav that would mount silkies and bantam cochins. He never hurt them one bit. Got some very adorable chicks. I do think it depends on the roo. Some roos are much more gentle. Florus was a real backside for a few months... Well anyway, I also currently have a 15 pound marans roo that mount these skinny little leghorns, and he's not hurt them either. So... again, depends on the roo. Just watch the girls for trama.

Please look at this for me

I keep seeing an ad for someone by me that takes in any unwanted chickens. And not for eating . It is listed in the grand rapids section on craigslist

Found it...http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/grd/4178154774.html
Not sure how close you are to this area though

Of course if someone here is willing to adopt me, I'll stay.

You already said you can't leave, so it looks like your stuck adopted to all of us.

Thank you, that's good to hear

Aww thanks. I hope he finds a home too. I will look a little around this thread, all tho I am not going through all the pages fully. Just scanning!

Thank you so much! I am checking out the link right now

Not sure how close you are to Bloomingdale but a couple there takes in unwanted animals. I can send you her information if you are interested.

Be careful of rescue places and try to ask around first. Someone i worked with is doing one but she did eat a lot of the roos and i think resold the hens. Almost had mine till i caught on... no longer friends. I hate liars.

May be talking about me. I have been labeled the local chicken 'rescue' around here, and it never surprises me to come home to find more birds. Got 7 from my sister's tenant who left them behind, 16 from a family friend, and my original 15 were from a couple getting out of the egg business.

Word of note, though, we do process most of the roos if we decide we don't need them for breeding.

Do you know if they would take roosters?

I am trying to find a good place. I don't like liars at all either. Especially when they told u the chicken u gave them disappeared, and later u find out the processed it. I knew some one ego was in that situation before.

Well I guess I didn't have to do much scanning after all! Lol. Are you looking to add another rooster to your flock? He is a bantam so it's fine if u don't want him.


Guess who is crowing right now! If u guessed Mocha (the Roo for sale) u guessed correctly. Salt, is mimicking him. I have never heard Salt crow by himself. It's always with Mocha. If we get rid of Mocha and he still is obnoxious, Salt has found a home

And yes, I am one of those people who names their chickens

 

[RaZ]

Nothing wrong with naming them. I named mine.
There was Broiler, Broasted, Baked. Crispy and Extra Crispy, Gravy and Nuggets.
