Happy new year everyone! I had a hen hatch out some last minute chicks on thanksgiving day:) they are about five weeks old and are ready to find a home of their own. There is 6 bantam Cochins, 2 of which are FRIZZLES, and one silver spangled hamburg. They are all from my show quality birds and have been hand raised by me and will jump into your hand. I am in the harrisburg area and could meet anyone interested within a reasonable distance. Pm me if interested:) Thank you! Sorry the pictures aren't best couldn't get them to hold still. I can take better ones if needed. All are different colors. Mille fleur, black, black with brown on feather tips and white around neck, buff,partridge frizzle, dark mottled frizzle.

Hi Y'all,

I just officially joined the forum & am in Lititz. Anyone else in/near Lititz? (Just north of Lancaster.)

Wondering if anyone is interested in helping me find good homes for my 2 extra Lavendar Amerucana roosters. They are starting to fight for dominance so I would like to rehome 1-2 asap. I have now connected with someone can take one in a few months; anyone up for sooner?

Here is my original post from the free rehoming forum. Someone suggested I repost on this thread:

"We have 2 Lavendar Americaucana roosters who are 6 months old. They were hatched from eggs we ordered Garry Farm (found through this website). We ended up with 3 roosters and we would like to find a loving home for 2 of them if possible (we have friends that will take them to eat them, but we thought we'd try to find a home first).

Really pretty and healthy. No sign of any problems.

We live just north of Lancaster PA. We thought we'd try here before Craigslist since we're less likely to have someone take them and abuse them.

Please let us know."

Also, I took this picture last night of 1 of them. They all look roughly the same:



Let me know if you're interested!

Lets just say I have been less than impressed by the Styrofoam ones.

As Sally said, coolerbators work well and the concept can be adapted to large boxes, like old mini fridge, etc.

The key is a good thermostat and ventilation. A fan can be used to circulate air to stabilize temperature, like an old computer cookuing fan.
I built one from an old non working mini freezer, a thermostat, a large computer fan, and some light bulbs. Using junk I had around, it was under $50, holds 120 plus.

The foam one I was so generously given

..worked like a charm, but I do see how it could/would be more temp. & humidity unstable than non-foam models...I had mine in a room not used, so it wasn't disturbed a lot...maybe that is the key

ahhh I would LOVE those, but you're 3 and a half hours away :( I've made it my goal to get a bantam cochin pair in january or february. My rooster is terrible and I really like bantam cochins, and to have bantam cochin babies hatching...oh my goodness.
 
Oh, man, Harrisburg is so doable for me, especially since my sister and I are going to the Farm Show on Saturday*, but I don't have a coop yet. I don't think an indoor flock is a good idea with 5 cats. I did enter a contest to win a coop but it is not over til Feb.

*What should we look for? I've never been to it and would love some pointers. Should I leave my wallet at home?
