Hello to all and Happy Halloween. I have to get rid of 2 maybe 3 silkie roos if i can get my daughter to let me. lol I know at least 2 have to go. I would like to try and trade them for some hens if possible. If i don't get ride of them soon, they are going to wear out a hen. Thanks for any help.

what color i have some white hens i can trade

 

[chicken dad]

don't really care about color. how old are they? my roos are around 8-10 months i think. they are crowing now. one is black and the other is white. not sure about a 3rd one yet.
we talked earlier and i could never get ahold of the guy that was looking for some hens. sorry i never got back to you about that.

Good morning folks

I managed to survive the workout given
by the grandbabies as they did their
halloween trek. It was great seeing
all the different costumes....as much
as things have changed there are some
that are still pretty much the same in lots
of ways.........hope everyone had a fun time

hope your day is spook free

Good Morning, Everyone!

I showed hubby that spotted deer, and he was suitably impressed. I'll be sharing that with a couple of the ecologists at work, too. I know they're gonna love it!

Love the pic of the kids, Kristan! I only got to see some college kids and professors dressed up yesterday. No little ones at all.

Should get the first of the chicks next week! Yay, chicks!!!!!!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning everyone!!

Thank you Hollow for the advice... now to wait and see what DH wants to do. I shared with him your thoughts, so we'll see!! I mentioned to him the whole "must be bred to produce milk" scenario and that all 3 of what we're looking at are herd animals so we'd need more than just 1...I think I have him leaning towards a Nubian Goat and the second is still undecided. We don't actively drink milk, so it would just be for cooking & cheese making - and the kiddos -one drinks raw milk as if it was her last meal...she will put the cup down and say, "Mommy it tastes GOOD" and proceed to try and get every last drip.

I can honestly see her trying to "milk" the animals by just going out there and "feeding" off the teat!! May I ask you one more question? You're best guestimate (hehe love that word that's not a word) - how much could one expect to pay for a milking goat or sheep??

Thank you SO much for being so helpful. I don't know what i'd do without "my" BYC'ers!!

Busy next couple of days for us here...I hope you all are having a great morning and end with a great day!!
