Anybody want to buy an instant olive egger flock? 2 wheaten marans hens, 2 welsummer hens, 1 wheaten ameraucana hen and 1 blue wheaten ameraucana rooster. All are 1 year old or just a bit less. Marans have great egg color and when crossed with the blue wheaten ameraucana rooster will create all wheaten and blue wheaten olive eggers. Hatch the dark eggs and get all olive eggers. Hatch the blue eggs and get pure ameraucanas (wheaten or blue wheaten).

Was asking $150 on craigslist and got an offer for $100. I know i highballed it at $150 but figured I would see what I got.

If I am going to sell them for $100, would rather sell them to someone I know though!

Wheaten Ameraucana eggs on top. Marans eggs on far right (great egg color). I think the top terracotta egg is a a wellie egg but not sure as I also have a wellie mix also.

Anyone interested? $100 to a BYC person who can pick up in Knoxville. I am NOT NPIP.

What a pretty morning my birdies are already all out and playing in the dirt...dirt not mud

Looks like I'm going to loose one of those Lav chicks..it got some food or something caught in it's throat somewhere..it's not a very big throat

tried the olive oil bread and water a hug and a prayer but not looking good

.We feed a mash and it's on paper towels so what it found in that I have no idea..
My other lavs are hatching now and all I can say to them is

and another of Jens favorites has hatched.

Oh for those as crazy as I am...you know who you are Publix has the cutest bags in right now..they are supposed to be for Easter but it's a chick in an egg and on the bottom it says Chicky

Paul took one look at my new favorite bag and said they shouldn't encourage me so much

I'm going to be getting a lot more..Chick bags are good all year long right?!! Now the chick could be cuter but it's a chick

 

[Troyerchicks]

I saw those bags yesterday too!!

Will post pictures of the not so little chicks later on. When do the differences in the sexes start to show in Australorps? Anyone know?

Holly, sorry to hear about your little lav chick.

Hope things are resolved quickly for the little fella.



And CityGirl, oh CityGirl . . .

Nella- wish I could on either the harlequins or the colored flock- not heading to Knoxville again for awhile---btw that rooster we got from you last year, was tasty!

TISHA- CONGRATS ON THE HOUSE!!!

 

[Jenski]

Dang.

I thought I was a goat person through and through, but now that I popped on to the web and read about those Old English Babydoll sheep, I simply must have some.



I blame CityGirl for putting idears into my head.

 

[HBuehler]

Ok Jenski remove that picture..we can only handle so much cuteness here and that's over the limit

My baby is hanging in there but still can't breathe..was hoping whatever it is would dislodge but not looking good for my little sweetie.
I'm meeting CityGirl shortly to inherit another Silkie to my collection.Why does this keep happening...these fluffy balls of something keep invading my chicken pens and I can't get rid of them-darn kids!
More young birds are leaving later today..
We now have a few of our Mille Fleur Cochin Roos for sale 1 adult proven bred by Ione and one young kid with better color ..I may even sell a pair but not a pullet alone

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Here ya go, Jenski! More intolerable cuteness!

BWAAHAAAHAAAAHAAAAAA!!!! You neeeeeeeeeeeddddd some, Jen.

If I had a barn and a fence I would be sorely tempted. Perhaps I can be a chicken and sheep farmer if I can't find another job.
