Haha don't know if I'd have enough snake oil for That!

We could take care of that.

I'm sure there must be a green front on the way to yer house.

If Peace Dove brings Chanterel mushrooms and pesto sauce, don't miss the opportunity. That's what we had for dinner last night: Chanterels sautéed in butter and pesto tossed with rice noodles. I've got my orders from my free work crew. More mushrooms.

Also, the honey from Zanna is gloriously full flavored.

I haven't done anything so far with the cinnamon sticks but admire them. My son looked at them and said "Wow, when you said a bundle of cinnamon sticks, I was expecting those little cinnamon sticks like you buy at the store. That's a lot of cinnamon"

So, I already have a want list

Moodlymoo - if you're serious about the jersey giants, I know of a source with high quality stock I can get eggs from. I'd be willing to hatch out eggs for you if you want to commit to them. Maybe send me an email with the number you want, etc. I would probably get extra eggs to hatch so I have a few extra chicks for sale from that line.

BRINGING

Rhonda and I's purebreds:
Dominique Hatching Eggs, Chicks.
Americauna Hatching Eggs, Chicks, SQ lines.
Orpington Hatching Eggs, BBS SQ lines.
Marans Hatching Eggs, Wheaten and Blue Wheaten.

From our youth - Rhonda's son and my neice:
Japanese Hatching Eggs, Chicks. Blues and Blacks.
Bantam Rose Comb Rhode Island Red Hatching Eggs, Chicks, from show lines.
Mixed bantams - RC RIR, Mille Fleur Cochin, Americauna, Japanese in the pen, hatching eggs and maybe chicks.

Specialty Mixed Breeds:
75% Americauna EE Hatching Eggs, Chicks. Sex-Linked!*
75% Marans Hatching Eggs, possibly some Chicks. These have been crossed out for better production, but will still have much darker than average eggs.
2nd Generation "Walrus" Hatching Eggs, Chicks. 75% SQ Orpington. Sex-Linked!*
Black Sex-Link Hatching Eggs, possibly some Chicks.

Spoken For:
Enough chicks for 2-3 pullets, Jersey Giants for moodlymoo


Can do special hatchings of our breeds and many others - have many great connections for SQ/BQ eggs in a variety of breeds. Want just 5 chicks, healthy with no shipping losses? Get in touch with me, email is best.




BY REQUEST

Heritage meat cockerel chicks, if we aren't sold out - $0.75ea, perfect for pastured poultry and backyard programs. The fastest maturing heritage breed, get the tenderness of a young bird with the flavor of a real chicken.

Capons, Dominique, Walrus and Sex-Links (Dominique cross), *possibly* Jersey Giants. Grow meat birds in town! Capons do not crow, can be grown longer and stay tender, make great adoptive mothers for chicks, and can be housed with hens. All these breeds will make excellent capons, with good feed conversion and rate of growth. We need to know at least 3 months in advance if you want these capons! They need time to incubate, hatch, grow to caponizing size (about 8 weeks) and then have some recovery time before the swap.


WANTING

Honey (several jars)
Plant starts, strawberries if they're on, etc.


*These pens have blue roosters over blue barred hens, if a chick comes out splash it will be harder to see the dot on the head for the sex-linking. About 1/4 of the chicks will be splash.

Hey, anyone know of someone around here that sells blue copper hatching eggs? I already PM'd Lensters but since I didn't see any with him at the meet assuming he sold them all. I do want really dark eggs but don't care as much about the chickens appearance. (That sounds funny, like I should have a hairdresser for them or something

) But didn't see any eggs I needed, have my incubator warmed up and it is soooo lonely. I can ship but would rather buy local if you guys can recommend. My egg people Looove those dark ones.
Thanks

 

[moodlymoo]

Does anybody happen to remember what breed of frizzle K7 had? They were a pair but she let me take the pullet since we cant have roos in the city. She is the sweetest girl ever and I think I will be iso many more of these sweet babies

 

[moodlymoo]

I need to add to my Wanting List Feed bags (doesnt need to be chickens) . My daughter is making grocery bags for Christmas gifts and to sell at the farmers market and I've ran out. If your in the Portland area I can come get them
