Well are you sure that you want to ship? Have you had enough interest? That is a whole subject unto itself! The weather around here is so erratic, I would not ship in temps over 80 degrees. So anything after June for juvenile or adult birds is usually not OK. Usually able to resume again in fall. You need to buy the approved boxes, those grassy carpety things. Grow gel for chicks, canned corn, or other veggies for the older ones. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, I am sure I am forgetting something..................

I will sell you the andalusian roo! You would have to get him tested. I am not approved yet. BTW he is black. Do you care?
 
Anybody nearby interested in lavender orpington chicks? Figured I'd ask here. They are 7 weeks old. I've decided to focus on 2 bantam breeds at the moment, no large fowl. I'm just south of Harrisburg.
 
Thank you to Beaglady and Sally...the 2 of you keep me on my toes with business,,,,,research and moving ahead are not my strong points,,,,thanks for that little kick in the butt that it takes to get moving...

now for a little bit of research.....I no longer hAve a seperate meat bird pen,,,the ducks stole it.......I would like to do a large meat bird pen, with a small coop in the middle of a pen, then I would like to seperate that pen into 3 or 4 different pastures so I could rotate the birds and keep the pasture growing.......

here's the question,,, Do you think the movable electric fences would be enough for predator proof.......raccoon, fox are my main ones....they would certainly be the easiest to move....I do not want to have to move a coop type structure,,, I am really bad at driving the tractor,,, and do not want to rely on hubby to do it.

A question for smarter chicken folk.....this morning one of my girls decided to stay in the coop...I figured she was laying an egg but she didn't I checked on her mid morning and early afternoon, she was sitting contented on the roost...I picked her up and checked to see if she was egg bound...couldn't tell, she slowly walk out of the coop and found a spot in the yard by herself...I tried to give her some scratch but she wasn't interested.....then she just walked away wanting to be alone....she is keeping her feathers fluffed out....there is nothing else visible I can see..your thoughts?
