Well I have reserved the beginning of my flock. I want 8 hens, Hubby is building me a coop with plenty of room to allow for "chicken math" My problem is I want them all different, all docile, all varying shades of brown eggs. Well except for DD's easter eggers. I originally thought I could get all 8 at the place i chose to order from, but she doesn't have all the breeds I want right now. So what I have reserved are 2 EE's, and 1 each of BO, RIR, PBR, and Golden comets. Does anybody know of anyone within an approx 2 hr radius of Winston-Salem that offers Wyandottes, Austrolorps, or speckled sussex or standard cochins? I would be wanting pullets that will be about 7 weeks or so by mid september. That is the age/date my others will be. Any suggestions please PM me! I appreciate any help!

Thanks

LOL that is how chicken math got started for me. I had to order eggs for this one and that one and ended up with about 25 or so chickens and chicks. Good luck I did not find a single stop for what I wanted. SOOOO many orders of eggs later my hens are ageing out on me. I have the same problem again. Its very hard to find anyone that you can get one of each , esp. if you want a dozen or less total.Good luck

Hey all! haven't been on for a while... but now need some help finding some quail:

Today started out well. But then I got to yell "plot twist", when I noticed our pibble staring into the quail hut... See, she is the keeper of the chickens and quail. She was alerting me that something something was wrong. Then I went to investigate. Ugh. Followed by running into the house (being the wuss that I am- I just do not do parts of national geographic happening in the backyard... Perfect for owning a farm, I know.) Yelling (please note that Mr. Farmer works until very very late at night so he hadn't been asleep too long) "Snake eating quail! Snake eating quail!" Yeah... What a wake up call right?!?! He rushes out kills said snake - no idea what it was, I didn't look- and now is moving Blondie, our last quail, a male, to a safe undisclosed location. Meaning Blondie is moving into the house. We got a total of 6 quail eggs from our covey... Before they 3 females were eaten. So, here's hoping today gets better...

Anyone near the GSO area have a few female quail that they are willing to sell?

help is very much appreciated!!!!!

You're about 2 hours from us... But we are willing to travel to get them! We're fixing the small hole where the snake got in to the quail hut... So there won't be any more losses... :'( so sad about my quail.

To the west of you... We are west of RDU by about an hour. We could also meet you somewhere balong your way if you are headed this direction.

I have been thinking about rehoming my lone pigeon, since she is very grumpy all by herself, but I left her in the big coop with the chooks last night/all day today and she seems to be doing much better. she even let me pet her without flogging me today! I do still want to build her an aviary and find her a friend or two... but at least she isn't all alone now, and the chickens (Silkies and Faverolles) don't seem to mind her being there.
