I love company. Especially living in the boonies! I'll cook if y'all ever want to come over.

Oh and Clover I just acquired three of your lav babies and they're seriously the sweetest chicks I've owned. They're cuddlers! It's fantastic!

OK - best options for getting rid of those cute bantam roosters the kids and I raised. Do you guys have better luck on craigs list? flyers? prayer

I'm lucky in that I think I'll only have 1 to 2 quail d'anver and maybe 3? black silkies roos. But, these are all hand raised so I don't have the heart to eat them (my farmer roots would be appalled). I am not freaked if someone else does, just don't want to know. I can only eat non-pets

Let me know what works for you other Oregonians.

I use Craigslist A LOT for getting rid of extra roos. I gave away 5 roos in 2 days last week via CL.

Thank you for the craigslist tip - I'll be putting my "free, rare exotic" from macmurray's egyptian fayoumi on very soon - I know he is just in his juvenile stage, but what a bugger he is!

 

[ZooMummzy]

Definitely Craigslist. It sometimes takes awhile but I always rehome everything I place on here. I got rid of 17 roosters last year using CL

Thank you for the tip. Now if I can just figure out the roos in the silkies

Not in a hurry, lost one of my pet silkie juveniles to stupid accident last night

so don't really want anybody to go this week

but the day is soon. Need to make less pets I guess

Well, for Speckled Sussex, you want Dennis Brandt, and for bantam Cochins, Sheryl Butler is the best around and also Doddie Truedson. Sheryl is on here, her user name is sheryl butler. Doddie and Dennis are both members of the Pacific Northwest Poultry Association, and regularly show at the shows in Stevenson is April and October. I don't have contact info for Dennis, but I do for Doddie and can pass your info along to her if you'd like.

Thank you Cloverleaf, sorry it's taken me soooo long to answer. We have been working like crazy on the coop so we could get our 7 41/2 week old Cochin banties out of the inside brooder, I have Speckled Sussex chicks due tomorrow from MPC, I know hatchery chicks- but when I started this journey I had not done enough BYC research. Now I know better and will be looking for better stock. One of my failings is I jump in too soon and I have learned to control Chicken math needs to some extent. The last time I had chicks I went way overboard and had one devil of a time trying to house, feed and find homes for them all -- lesson learned the hard way.
I'm looking for next spring (when I know for sure what I have now) I will be ready to go.
I truly apreciate your help.

Thanks again,
