Hi,

Anyone got any large fowl chickens they don't want any more? I am in between flocks right now and have a huge run I need to keep the greens down in this summer. Healthy and unvaccinated, please. Older is fine, I don't need the eggs. Only one rooster, please. Within 30 driving distance of Ligonier, 15658. I don't want to eat them, just let them wile away the summer eating greens (and laying eggs if they want too). Have a nice coop in there and feed and water, too. No plans or desire to breed them. Older hens are just fine.
Thanks, Karen
 
I was outside today, tossing a snack to the flock and enjoying the utter diversity of it when i grabbed the camera and went picture crazy again lol.

My camera absolutely would not focus on her! This is my little wry neck/crook neck silkie. I made her a neck brave today out of foam. It really seems to be helping her to support her head and neck. I took it off for the night though.

I wonder if it came back at all yesterday. I didn't see it in our yard, but the kids were biking in the evening and spotted a fox in the neighborhood. I put the girls in the permanent coop for the night so no nighttime draw. Will let them out for the night once we have it staked and electrified.

I've seen scat occasionally close to the permanent coops but couldn't tell if it was coon or fox? I've never seen evidence of digging around the perm. coops or spotted any predators besides cat and hawks . . . quite a few nesting hawks around the perimeter this year again.

I have lost more chooks than I care to admit....if you are seeing any...they are there....there range is usually pretty large and they can be away from your location without them leaving...they will study your coop and your movements and will adjust their hunting strategy....as summer comes on they will be hunting at night more often....be vigilant just because you don't see them or they are not digging at your pen doesn't mean they aren't there...sorry to be preachy....

Hi,

Yeah, it was named after Lord Ligonier, before the Revolution. The Fort in town is from the French and Indian War era. (reconstructed from 1961 to circa 2009) Lord Ligonier never visited the town. We have wonderful tourist reasons to come here. The Fort , it's truly fabulous art and history collection. Joe's Bar with his world class taxidermy exhibit. The Southern Alleghenies Museum of the Arts. And of course the (May to Sept. ) Saturday Farmer's Market. Plus the Compass Inn in next door Laughlintown . And rated the World's Best Children's Amusement Park and 3rd oldest in the US, Idlewild Park and Soakzone. And Idlewild is opening a new Castle attraction this year with Princess Lily.
Then the 2nd week in Oct. the town has their 3 day Fort Ligonier Days. Usually 75 to 100K folk come to our little 2000 person town for a great Arts and Crafts festival, parade, visit the Fort and re-enactors. It's a blast. The Ligonier Valley is called Pennsylvania's Mountain Playground. Oh, I forgot, I live in unincorporated Waterford outside of town. Every summer we have a great 3 day Laurel Highlands Bluegrass festival ( website)one block from our house. And also the Waterford Fireman's carnival with the great juried Firetruck show and parade. It passes by our front lawn. Firetrucks come from far away to participate.
Best,
Karen
