Thank you Clover for the info
as you can see Hermione is pretty tame... Doodle is pretty good with the ladies..for a 2 year old..
we would have to know more about how sedate the chickens are expected to be..Goldy loaf no way, Henny Penny yes and Lacey (pictured below) yes

Great pics!!!

The birds have to be able to stand on the table without major restraint, and for the kids to be able to lift them and flip them up to show their undersides, and not decide to just fly off the table at random...that's most of it...you'll see at next month's meeting.

Also, you would want a bird that the child can hold comfortably for sometimes an extended period of time.

At Cloverleaf

OMG Leionaides is gorgeous!! and he has a great name too!!

I read more about the araucauna vs the americauna and the mutant EE... thank you we stand more educated.. can't wait to see your boys poster.....I loved the poster part..did one on siamese markings..took forever and I only got 3rd place bc the writing was too small
We love our mutant EE.. ~ too weird to live too rare to die~ H.S.Thomson and yes Hermione is a very pretty bird..she has a peach overtone on her wings and she is soo softy..
speaking of which can you use volcano dust and sand for a dusting mix??

So yes to the 4-h offer we will see you next meeting July 12?
So when the show the birds I am assuming that their wings cannot be clipped right? I would image that the judges would want to see full plummage.
also is there a 4- h poultry guideline book online?


thank you for everything

Ready to add ducks to my collection. Anyone have any adults to rehome (free or not)? I'm in Damascus with a beautiful chicken coop and run which has enough room to accomodate a couple of ducks and whatever they would need. Thanks!

We are in Portland and re-homing our very nice quality silkie rooster. He is gray and 1 year old. He is a sweetheart and likes to be cuddled, though he is not above acting like a rooster to "strange shoes". We are in a bit of a bind and need to re-home him ASAP. Willing to deliver to Portland/Vancouver area (w/in 50 miles) or to the South coast area over next weekend.

The Audubon society of Portland is looking for homes for domestic ducks and geese
I found an article in the warbler paper.
contact Deb Sheaffer @ [email protected]

They are a bit over run with ducks and geese that were released into the wild inappropriatley by owners who no longer wanted to care for an adult duck..
hope this helps!

Hello all. I have 3 birds in ned of new homes. Thought I would share here with the local Oregon members. I have a very nice looking young BCM cockerel who is around 4 months old. He has nicely feathered feet. He is very sweet and used to being handled. Here are some pics of him:

I also have a pair of Olive Eggers that are also around 4 months old. I picked up 2 olive eggers at the local swap hoping they were pullets, but one turned out to be a roo. They are so bonded with one another that I decided to try and rehome them together. The pullet should begin laying soon, and the young roo is very calm and easy to handle. I would keep him, but I have too many roos at the moment! Here are some pics of them:

I am located on the Central Oregon Coast....about 2 hours from Portland. If anyone can give any of these birds a good home please let me know. I will gladly deliver within a 2 hour drive, or have them ready for pick up. They are great birds, but I have limited space for roos. I think the BCM cockerel in particular is going to grow up to be a very good looking roo, and so far he has a great disposition. Thanks.
