Who likes sebrights? All but the one I had in the brooder got killed so he's up grabs I believe hes a lilac he came with an assorted batch and he's under 2 months old I'd also trade for a barred or cuckoo oeg bantam hen or bantam silver phoenix maybe other types just make me an offer he may go to auction friday

sorry, but that is not a sebright. Wrong comb, wrong shape, and wrong leg color.

oh, and 'he' looks like a 'she'

        I have to agree with Tikkijane............they need stopping and you need to get some lead, cocked and ready to pull the trigger. Usually don't like killing dogs....but in this instance....I wouldn't hesitate..    AND.....yes, this pack is a danger to a small child or any animal.  They will grow bolder each time until its a goat, donkey, horse or mule.  A pack doesn't hesitate to do what the leader starts..    And then a grown up.!     Load your gun and get a lawn chair and sit and wait...they will be back!  Wish I had some pullets and roo for you but just went thru ours and downsized...rehomed for free...  Would loved to have rehomed to you for free.

Fwiw- donkeys are great livestock guardians. They will kick the crap out of anything canine. I need one. Although, my young border collie is finally starting to do well protecting my chooks...... {knock on wood}

Its mostly 2x5 inch holed fence then in areas I couldn't do pallets I did the heavy larger holed cattle fence over that and on the ground I did just get a new roo though the guy said If I could catch it I could have it no bodies been able to for years haha they aint me it took a couple hours but I got him this bird flew two football field lengths he's wild and wild looking he's yokohama x true red jungle fowl what a find B E A utiful bird I just got done dubbing him because this boy is going to be shown off ill get pics when he heals up a bit

Hardware cloth is *absolutely* worth it, imo. You'd be surprised what all can fit through gaps that size. :mad. I found Wayfair (online) to have the best prices, especially on the really wide and long rolls, fwiw.

Pickled eggs are awesome I was raised on them lol

I don't get that many duck eggs so I was selling them $2.50/6 based on what others said at farmer's market.
My quail eggs are for eating, I had them for $1.50/dozen just because we're getting more than we can eat.
My duck eggs could be fertile, but my quail, turkey, and chicken aren't.  Even though the average person probably couldn't tell if they were fertile, everyone that's bought them has specifically asked because they don't want to eat fertile eggs.
We live in town I don't keep roosters at all.
Actually the only males I have are 1 drake Pekin (who is making my neighbors miserable by loudly raping my girl ducks so he may have to go) and my peacock.  All the others are females.


I hear a lot about pickled quail eggs actually farmraised!  I don't know, I've never had pickled eggs, but doesn't seem like something I would be into.  I like pickled vegetables though.  What do you do hard boil them, peel them then pickle?  That seems like a lot of work to peel those tiny eggs!  I won't eat hard boiled eggs either.  I'm super picky about eggs haha.  And I think I'll skip the egg eating snakes

[abChicken]

[farmraised86]

This is a bantam yokohama hen the body style looks spot on plus town and country had some in at the time maybe one got out like always and was put in the cage with mine by mistake. Keep in mind how young it is too

 

[farmraised86]

Shes way too small to be EE it can fit in the palm of my hand see that cord in the pic that has a switch built on it use that as a ref she's smaller in body than modern game bantam hens
