Hello all, I am running out of suggestions, I have now for the past 4 weeks listed here and on Craigslist to sell (at first) now for free my 2 Roo's, one a Blue Isbar (rare) and the other a Cream Legbar, both I have raised from hatched eggs (Jordan Farms) and both are now 10 weeks as of 6/19, I wish I could keep both as they are both feathering out nicely, but I'm not allowed roosters in city limits.  Any other suggestions would be help full on where I might be able to find a good home.

I've been having the same problem but after a week or so, I think I have someone who wants them. I have gone through this before but if you keep renewing the Craigslist ad and keep posting where you can, eventually someone will take them.
 
Busy day here today on the forum!

I was planning on getting the ride on out and mowing the lawn but bugger that, I don't want to be burnt to a crisp!!

Lazy day here just chilling outside surfing the net looking for pools (sick of seeing & hearing the neighbours in theirs!), sitting under the shade sail while the kiddo plays in the sprinkler.

Might get my butt in gear later when it cools down a bit and do some weeding that is overdue. I'd love to go to the cheap mennonite nursery up the road and get some plants but have to watch the money till pay day by orders of the hubby, who just happens to be in CT for work with one of the big bosses and gets to eat at fancy places every night

Yeah I don't want to run a smear campaign against her. Karma can be a wicked thing. It will come around and get them. I could expose the newspaper run about the trial, the release about her convictions, heck I could copy and paste the charges sheet listing her blood alcohol 6 hrs after the incident started as being just below legal limit. Yeah 6 hrs after. Her family's dirt could be aired and what would be the outcome? Like a political ad bashing no one comes out for the better.

i would love to take them but i'm to far away, how about trying pennswood.net classifieds you might be able to sell them or give them away on there.

I talk to the chickens, talk to the pig, the rooster talks to the pig, the pig talks back. I guess some people need the acceptance like the rooster. The pig wouldn't talk to the rooster. So the rooster stopped crowing and started grunting LMAO. What was the moral of this? Hell if I know....if they crow and crow and crow they have to drop the crow and play both sides of the fence?

hello all,
sorry i have not posted i have been very very busy. so i am going to post what the difference is between keeping birds in good conditions and poor conditions. i did this on purpose so i could personally see the results . i took a bunch of birds placed them in factory like settings. these are the conclusions.

birds kept in my normal healthy conditions thrived and did very well with minimal losses. in fact i never lost a bird because i did not know what happened. example possum or other pred. attacks.so therefore i know that healthy conditions work very well.
in the normal conditions i use mill feed , a certain formula i use ( fermented ) and the use of apple cider vinegar in the water and cleanliness

factory conditions experiment:

first i over crowded the brooder with about 70 chicks. at 3 weeks i lost a total of 20 chicks.. i never used acv in the water. the feed was junk feed and just wet not fermented the litter changed 1 time.
at 3 weeks they were moved to a shed and i set it up to the standards of a factory free range environment . they had access to the outside by the use of a door and a 5 ft run for 50 birds. i never used acv in the water and junk feed. the birds are fair at best. i have lost 9 more birds. no warning when the birds died. they were just dead.. some went down on the legs and immediately killed. today i went out and found a wry neck bird. first time i ever seen it . i also keep the area just like a factory.never cleaned at all. stinks to high heaven.

the results are obvious. . so it is your choice. i did the study for you all.

just so everyone knows when the group of meat birds are done the layers pullets will be rehabbed to top notch health. this will include all good feed acv. a bath for them. also i will have to spend hours disinfecting that particular coop.all my well kept birds are off the property . thanks to my neighbors for helping with this.

so out of 70 to date i have lost about 30.. sickens me. so call your food industry rep or FDA. i find this very cruel and preventable with 3 simple steps. acv in water, good feed, and most important cleanliness.

thanks for reading,

Wow Bruce....you invested alot to find results. Thank you for the information.
My husband has seen first hand 'chicken houses'..this was back in the 80's. From egg hatching , sorting of peeps(sexing) to delivering of the adults to the farms. Not something for the faint of heart. I/we can't even imagine the conditions of production houses now. You would think 'maybe' they would have gotten better with the knowledge/education we do have now...sanitation-bio, breeding, nutrition...but, sadly that doesn't seem to be the case with a number of "Production/Commercial" out fits...cattle, swine,and other animals. Hope you are well, thank you agan.-Danielle
