Where are my manners???

Welcome Mayerling and Corimckee! Kids and chickens are always welcome at our meet ups. It's always a good idea to bring a folding chair for yourselves and a box or crate to take any new acquisitions home in. . . . even if you don't "plan" on getting anything. You can bring something to eat. Some folks bring dishes to share as well. It's pretty informal. The next meet up is on Feb. 9th, 10-2 pm in Poway. RyeRanch is hosting. Looking forward to meeting you!

We would love to come too! Can we get the address? Thanks!

I need the address.

I'm impressed and jealous that you processed your own roo. I want to get to that point. Sooner rather than later, as it looks like I have 3 teen cockerels (though this bunch has been hard to tell. No one is crowing yet, and I've changed my mind at different times, but the current impression I have is 3 cockerels and 1 pullet.

Some of the small fries from the ideal poultry order didn't make it/had to be culled. Must have gotten chilled on their trip. Poor little guys.

Did you take pictures and call Ideal about it? They might refund or send u more if you lost a lot of them.

Hey, anyone want a Black Copper Marans Roo? He's from a super dark egg laying line of birds. I also have a "bantam" Marans Roo, he's more like a small Black Copper Marans, but if anyone wants to start a line of bantams, or has them, he might be just the thing. None of my Roos have bad manners, gentle and easy to handle. I'm going to be in the Ramona/Julian area on Feb 2nd, if anyone wants them.

Still selling rabbits, have a trio of Jersey Woolies with legs and G. Champ wins, 2 females, 1 male - you get all three for $90.

Looking for a small breed sheep/lamb for a companion for my sheep. Also looking for a sheared and someone who knows how to trim hooves to show me how to do it properly. Will pay you for your time and can transport my ewe to you.

Thanks, everyone! Oh, and here's this, just for fun:

I grew up on a 1000 acre sheep farm in Australia and used to work the sheep sheds as a wool classer. My back is worn out and my knees are gone as I age but if you are desperate, and you have the right sort of clippers and combs, I could probably coach you. Once you sit a sheep on its bum, they sit pretty still. Start on the belly in long strokes and work your way around to the back on both sides. I have never trimmed a sheep's hoof. We ran about 600 Merino ewes and Dorset rams.

I don't have my own shears, but if i did I would take u up on the offer to be coached - I have sheared sheep for show for 4-H but that was over 20 years ago. LOL
