the sultan thread

[Busybee1]

Congrats in your Sultans!! I have 2 which are a little over a year old. They are blue, which is not a reognized color yet. I love them! They are very docile and skiddiish around people. Mine are standard size. I think yours will love their patio!! I set mine in a patio chair arm and they just sat there for 15 kinutes watching me.

I LOVE my little pullet! She's a nut when it comes to catching her, but she LOVES to perch on my arm and be cuddled/pet once she's been caught . She's also extremely talkative which is something I love <3

I'd love to get more of them, but I'm more of a "must have one of every breed!" kinda girl and like to have one of each

She sounds so cute! Please post pictures some time!!!

I'm in love with this pen, don't you think sultans would love to live like this? Put it in my patio, .... LOL It's so nice! Only thing is, I'd probably close up the back side as I'd have to put it up against a wall somewhere???

Isn't it nice? I really HAVE to make one like it Two floors, stacked, Love the space savings, and that scraper is a cool idea too, except that I'd do it in deep litter method,... wouldn't really need that...

AWESOME, more people to talk too about sultans!!! Mine will be coming October 10th, so...er.... Holy Cow! Two Weeks! I guess that's HCTW I need to finish the leghorn coop, not just so I can get them out of the quickly shrinking brooder, but so that I can make room for newbiies!!

Lets see, here is my insanity:

1. Hubby said we could have chickens (finally)
2. Hubby and I start researching, found BYC, joined
3. Found out about Trader Joe's fertile eggs and that people hatch leghorns out of 'em
4. Built incubator, incubated 1st batch of leghorn chicks, which are quickly growing!!!
5. Building coops and runs (and cleaning yard for 'em
6. Ordered Serama eggs, got shook up in mail, awaiting replacement arrival tomorrow

7. also ordered Serama eggs from another person, arrival... week of the 8th
8. Set another batch of Trader Joe eggs for world egg day hatch-along

and then 9. Ordered Bantam Sultan chicks at Ideal

All within 2 months, I think.... I know I've lost all control
