Anyone in SE Michigan that have any pullets for sale?Looking for 2-3 Wyandot or EE's?
I would like them young as possible (not chick, they are beoynd me!)
I posted my new (in process) Chicken tractor. (so you know they will be safe.)
We have an EE cockrel who is going to a new home this week end (no roosters allowed in Troy)
He really enjoys it here and gets along fine with my Yorkie mix.
I will soon be chickenless and I cant stand the thought!even any leads you may have. Thanks for your help!

Soon to be chickenless (But NOT for long!)

LOL @ the turkey comment. If hatching goes well next spring I could probably spare a few poults...

Not that I'm encouraging you to take up Turkey math or anything.

They are beautiful Narragansetts if I do say so myself though. Hopefully Sir Henry (the tom in my avatar) will trut while you're here so you can see him all his glory. Sometimes he's shy around strangers though.

Celia if you absolutely cannot find any in your immediate area I do have pullets. Not EE or Wyandotte, but I have pet quality Black Australorps who tend to be calm, friendly hens. I have a mini-schnauzer who runs around them on a daily basis so they're used to small dogs, too. (I breed them for a dual purpose meat/egg flock so don't worry about show standards.) I have 29 week old pullets, a batch of 1 week old chicks in the brooder who I will be able to sex within the next week or two and another batch in the incubator with a Nov 11 hatch date -- will be able to pretty accurately sex them 2-3 weeks or so after hatch. I also have light brahma pullets that are about 21 weeks. They're not laying yet, brahmas tend to be slow to mature so I don't expect them to start for a few more weeks. I only have a few of them, but I know I have at least one, probably two, that are on the smaller side that I could let go of.

I'm about 2 hours from you though so that's why I haven't said anything before. It is an option if you can't find them closer though. If it came down to that I am regularly in the Lansing area and could meet up with you to help cut down your drive by 45 minutes or so -- so it'd end up being just over an hour for you -- would hate for you to have to spend too much time chicken-less.

Have you figured out the culprit yet? I can always tell my roos when I let them out in the morning.....it's a scramble after the hens!!

No, and I am pretty positive my girls are girls. Only have three of them. One- really all of them, are definitely girls. Girls but they are not laying eggs. Everything I own is a freeloader- so perhaps someone decided to learn how to crow? Would be my luck.

I would gladly go 2 hours for some chickens! (we are going at least an hour to drop of our EE cockerel)
The light brahma pullets look beautiful! are they too old to co mingle with my dog?
Are all the Black Australorps all black? I am looking for "speckled/spotted" etc. look.
I know I sound picky. I am sorry. I guess I want a chicken that looks a bit like the ones from home did.
We had so many kinds. My Dad was a chicken NUT (guess I got those genes too, LOL!)
Thanks for all your help!

I don't seem to have any pictures of the brahmas on flickr. I'll snap a couple tomorrow, if you'd like, and post them so you can get an idea.

The BA would be $10 each, the Brahmas $8 each and chicks $2 each. Basically what I've got into them in based on their ages.

Whoops, missed your question. No, neither the brahmas nor the australorps are too old to mingle with your dog. All of my birds free range and all are used to my mini-schnauzer trying to "play" with them.
