I truly am sorry.

Anyone want a Welsh Harlequin drake? I have an extra one.

How about roos? I have extra cockerels of these breeds if anyone is looking for good breeding stock. I am going to free range any that are still left when it gets cold and I have to abandon the portable coops for the winter. They are all very colorful and well behaved (so far, the Legbars might develop a bad attitude later).

• Black Ameraucana (show birds directly from Johh Blehn)
• Silver Ameraucana (show birds directly from Johh Blehn)
• Jill Rees Cream Legbars

Any of these could hitch a ride west on the chicken train next weekend.

Obviously, I cannot have any roo now. But hubby said he may let me have a roo if we have a large lot. I'm thinking a bielefelder roo, because they are big and calm. Did you have any aggressive bielefelder roo?

If anyone has feed bags they can ship to me, I'd be happy to reimburse for shipping. Preferably if you have a good amount sitting around. I'm going to use them to hold in my straw insulation. Not for grocery bags right now. Priorities...

Ann, I have lots of woven plastic feed bags, 100# size. Probably 200 or more. The danger being, if you pick up some, you might leave with a chicken or 3.

Haha. The good thing about that is that I have enough now, that if I got a few more, the hubs probably wouldn't notice... I think I only have one Biele, and I only have one of the Legbar or Wellbar. I'll see how many bags I think I need and let you know if I can stop by.

Edited to add:

Dheltze, here is the girl I only have one of, what kind is she? Her face and wattles are getting pretty red. Turkeys love blackberries apparently! Check out this action shot!

And one more image of Rusty because he's such a handsome teenager. He's about the size of the chicken in question above already!

I truly am sorry.

No need to apologize, no one is upset. I just wanted you to know to check your messages in case you didn't get any alerts. My phone only gives a voice-mail alert about 1 out of 3 calls for some reason. And then I will get notices from 4 or 5 days ago?!?

That's a welbar girl. You will want more for dark eggs.

Good evening all:

Had a visit from the fox this evening....and I was home and never herd a thing(because I was home, I let them free range).....all the big girls/boys are intact....the four young ones were taken,,,,found a feather pile for the CCL girl and found the desiccated body of one of the OE roos....the two others are MIA....knowing this fox, they are gone too but, I will be up early in case 'he' comes back for the last carcass...I've lost the entire year's youngin's to the fox....only Anne has a few I gave her to re-populate her crew....really disappointing.....

New to BYC and chickens. From Pittsburgh and would really love to find chicks from a breeder of true Ameraucanas in PA. Any suggestions?

Oh no that's horrible. All the time, effort and love you put into growing them up and they get taken just like that.

Hope the other two find their way back home @stake

I wish I could remember the name of the young woman in your area.
