What's your favorite tune. Do I need to do a dance with it?

We are in opposite valleys though. Do you come to Reno much? I'm there every week day from 7-4. If not I do need to go to greens feed to get some chick feed so maybe we could come by in route.

Might be better to link to the individuals web page as you will get right to the specific list you are looking for. That way you don't have to look down a long list of other posts to find the list.

Does anybody in the Reno area have young turkeys for sale? Not for consumption, they'll be used for eggs.

I have had the worst of luck with the feed stores this year.

Unless you're really good I think I'll forego the song and the dance.

I'm only 10 minutes away from Green's Feed. I live off of 7th between Keystone and McCarran, not in any Valley. I had property in Lemmon Valley but not any more. That may be where the confusion came from. Come get him any time. I also have a black am cockeral if anybody wants him. I hate to see pure bred ameraucanas go in the freezer. You can use him to breed for colored egg layers if you don't have ams of your own.

Aubreynoramarie, I would just add the screening over the existing chicken wire. I don't know if they can tear through normal screening, I have pet resistant screening on my coop windows. They haven't made a mark on that stuff. Good Luck!

Love Humbrd's idea to just link to your BYC pages with a short note on what you sell next to your names. Get your pages updated folks!

Thanks Genny! Hey how's our little Lavender chick coming along? Did it turn out to be a boy? I need new pics of your little ameraucanas. Mine are getting the cutest muffs and beards except for one gal that is pretty clean faced. I'll keep her for eggs but I won't breed her. I'm going out to get new pics now.

I also have 1 delaware pullet (9 weeks) and 1 EE pullet (12 weeks) for sale. Both are from Green's Feed. I got carried away this spring and have too many chickens!

Have you ever been to the Big R store in Fallon? It's on Hwy 50 just west of the main part of town. That's where I picked up my "brood" - 4 BOs, 4 RIRs and 2 Black Sex Links. All of them are in excellent health! They also had turkeys, ducks, and pheasants, though I didn't get any of them. I went back for some supplies and was going to pick up a turkey, but unfortunately, they were all gone for this year

S&W Feed in Carson City also had turkeys and ducks. Their birds all seemed to be very high quality, too.

Here's a few pics of the ameraucanas at 9 weeks...

Wow SunnyDawn, those are gorgeous!

Welcome back from your trip. I love the Grand Canyon; it's so beautiful!

I am now chickenless. The last of my hatching project went off to their new home this weekend.

I took the remaining Black Star month-old henletts to my sister's house (which trip co-incided with a surprise 50th birthday party). Her soon-to-be 16 y.o. son's spare time project has been to learn from Dad how to use power tools and his desire was to build a chicken coop. So they retrofitted an empty hot-water heater closet in the yard against the shed with nest boxes and roosts and built a run to accompany it making sure to dog/cat/coon/possum proof it.

The chicks were a BIG hit. Sister's son, daughter, and two of 13 y.o. daughter's playmates were absent ALL afternoon during the b-day party... They spent the entire time inside the run playing with the chickens, handfeeding them, naming them, etc. The next day soon as the family got up, they went back out to the coop to check on their new residents. The 16 y.o.'s comment to me was "Aunt Dee Dee, you give rockin' gifts. I've ALWAYS wanted chickens!" My sister was amazed as this was the first weekend she could ever remember where the kids not once spent their time glued to the TV or playing video games. Who knew???

The chickens, having spent their first month in a wire-floor brooder box, feel like they've gone to Disneyland as they've got room to hop, fly, scratch in the dirt and take dust baths....in other words, be proper chickens . They're some pretty well-traveled birds having been layed in New Jersey, hatched in Las Vegas and now beachin' it in Santa Cruz, CA. They were funny travelmates in the backseat in the dog crate whistling and peeping away, pretty laid back....and even enjoyed some road food hamburger and fries on their northbound trip.

I bet I get fresh eggs for Christmas!
