Ms Jellybean, since you have no idea when you will be able to get your chicks why are you still contacting breeders and making arrangements to get chicks? You have gone back on your word for so many chick orders I've lost count. Let me see if I have it right: Silkies, Cream Crested Legbars, Gamesandmore's Ameraucanas, at least two sets of Marans. Now Olive Eggers.

When you contact a breeder they go to a lot of effort to get back to you. When you contact them with no intention of buying, you are just wasting their time. I've been involved in show dogs for a few decades in the past. I and other breeders got really were annoyed when people would reserve a pup and then not follow through.

Personally I don't think you have or ever had any intention of getting chickens and are just enjoying your fantasy here on the Texas forum. I'm done with wasting my time answering any of your queries. I hope you prove me wrong because you could be an asset to the forum.

Hey, I think you came down pretty hard on her. She has had quite a few unexpected expenses this year. If you don't want to answer question, don't. What questions she has asked, have been very informational for everyone. She is a very upbeat person and is a good influence around this forum.

I was outside and seriously taking inventory of my chickens and I need to become unattached to a few...

Anyone in the Odessa area want to come by and take a look? I still have a number of chicks from our hatchery surprise that I don't know what they are and I don't want to list them on craigslist without being able to tell people what they are...Most of the chicks are a month old tomorrow, with some being 2 months.

Privett, bantam hatch 2-24


cackle, 3-3


Ideal EE cockerel, 2-5


cackle, 3-3


cackle, 3-3 with a few privet bantams in there...


cackle, 3-3 also w/a few bantams


cackle, houdans, 3-3


cackle, polish 3-3


There are so many more that A) I don't have pictures of them all B) that would be a ton of pictures to post!

I know what a few of the more obvious ones are, cochins/silkies/austral whites. I guess I just need to break down and list them in group pictures and let people buy at their own risk. I'm also having a hard time deciding who I want to keep...but I set eggs to hatch on Monday, it is my first hatch so there's no guarantee that will hatch but if they do...I'm in trouble!

OH! I can't forget my favorite guy! I'm selling him too...

Ideal, 2-5, I'm 99% sure its a white leghorn bantam.

Harley's wife needs to see these.

I haven't actually ordered any chicks. I did have some set up from a kid in TN, and GameandMore, and they understand the financial setbacks I've had. The lady I spoke to yesterday was to find out how long she would be hatching out chicks. I left it with I would contact her if I can get them. The silkies were never ordered. The chicken farm doesn't take orders, you just go and get them. These financial setbacks are beyond my control. If they hadn't happened I would have a flock of chicks now. The $3K i've had to pay out so far this year has hit my budget quite hard. It is nice you are so understanding of my single mom situation. It must be so nice to have a husband that makes a lot of money to allow you to stay home and have all the exotic pets that you have.

Nice looking group! Looks like you may have a young roo there in the front? Looks like it has a 3 row pea comb, and it's awfully red.

That mac & cheese is some sticky stuff!!



Welcome both of you! Great thread with lots of enablers. Not good if your wanting to start slow!



Mine didn't know what to think they first time they were out of their brooder. Now they line up at the door just waiting for me to let them out every morning. Some don't even use the ladder to get down, they just fly on down.

You'll like those cookies. We've made cake cookies for years. You can use any of the cake flavors with any combo of "add ins". My favorite is the Devil's Food mix, with white chocolate chips. I don't like white chocolate, but love it in the mix as cookies.



I've been painting on my 2nd roost, trying to get it finished up and installed. Put up the rest of my cinder blocks for my raised garden. Plan on getting some more this weekend. Thinking I will make it 2 blocks high this year, then add to it as I put in my DL from the coop.

This was on my back porch yesterday. I had to look it up to see what it was. The colors were really stunning.
It's a Rainbow Scareb Beetle. Only the males have the long single horn. It was really pretty in person. I've never seen one around here before.




Calling for rain here today. Hope we get some. This pollen is getting to be too much. Everything is green! Even the dirt is green!

I don't like chocolate chip cookie. I made them for my son.

That is a cool looking bug. I've never seen one like that before. Except on Animal Crossing.

Amen sister. Stuff happens to change plans...I know, could fill a page with all the junk that has happened to us in the last couple of months.

Yay, got my ship date - April 30th!

Minimum order was 25 and I only want around 8-9 hens, so there will be some extras to get rid of in a few months when I can tell their gender. All bantams - silkies, easter eggers, dominiques, and buff orpingtons.

I certainly don't agree or even appreciate many of your attitudes or opinions but nobody treats you this ugly. We scroll on by. There is no excuse for rude behavior. this is not the jajeanpierre thread

Thanks Ms Jellybean I am just glad Odessa is to far to drive to pick up chickens!!! Also glad my wife does not look on here cause I would be driving to Odessa this weekend lol. The only way she knew about the ones I got yesterday was she was sitting beside me when I read about them and I read it out loud.

LMHO I just watched Chicken Run with my Grand daughter
You didnt drop that spoon did ya?

no I didnt drop the spoon but I did give a whole new meaning to cat dancing on a hot tin roof lol bet all my neibors were wondering what in the heck is she doing

 

[Ms Jellybean]

Good day folks...been trying to rain a bit this morning. Was really wanting to give my little gang a chance to get their feet on the ground today. I'm hoping the sun will come out later. We've been trying to get some other work done around here. The grass is so high in my dogs' yard all I can see is their tails...lol...Cut down a ton of bamboo yesterday. Don't ever start that stuff...you'll NEVER get rid of it.

Love those little fuzzy butts!

Gonna get a couple of buddies for our little hatchling. It was the last one the other egg was a dud
Can't keep Belle from slinging litter into the water and food, little guy was so thirsty cause she had buried the water with chips.

Has anyone tried the small animal water bottles with the little ball in the tip for chicks? Maybe paint the end of it with red polish (not the ball)
Gotta find something better than what I have, don't want them to be thirsty, I have to clean these every couple of hours

Well, gotta get back to work, y'all have a great day. Magpie

I got one of these from Premier 1.

That is very cool and I think it could hang on the outside of the cage. I know hubby could rig up a hanger. I go thru their formula by the gallon. Cheap enough too. Thanks
