Question for you eggsperts...when your eggs talk to you, do you talk back?

Okay, so two adult skunks now re-homed on Indian Rez land and thought I just had the babies left to trap.

Went out this morning and another adult is in the trap!!!!!

That makes for three adult skunks!!!!! And 8 babies!!

Guess all those 'cute' baby skunks from the neighbor's house, the ones she told me about the last couple years, eating out of the same cat food sack as her cats, have all come to live at my house now. How DIVINE!!! NOT!!!!!!!

Must be that since I have her cats that wander over, and stay, and then have to be fixed and fed, now I also have her skunks. Betcha she blames them on me and my chickens. Grrrrr!!!

Bad morning!! Ugh!

Good news... I have a whole tray of eggs that go into lockdown tomorrow: my Wels, BH and BA and Ebay eggs SQ SF, SQ LO, SQ L AM, SQ Wels and CL, and today I pick up the Legbars from Corvidae.

On another note:
FOR SALE, finally (business's first sales to help pay for feed) - these chicks have had their first Newcastle Bronchitis vaccine, booster due in three weeks. I can hold until the booster is given, or you can buy now, not worry about the booster, or get it from your vet. OR for an additional fee you can wait and I will vaccinate also for Coryza at 8 weeks. Again, booster is needed.

4 - one week old Wels, straight run

3 - two week old Buff Brahma pullets

1 - two week old RIR pullet

3 - two week old Sicilian Buttercups pullets

3 - two week old BA (Black Australorp) pullets

Hatching this weekend FOR SALE:SQ SF (Salmon Favorelles), straight run

Will be hatching BA and BO year round, along with any special orders.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!

I always start the conversation.... you mean you wait for your egg to start talking first???

Hi,

I'm sort of new here. I live near Layton, UT by HAFB and I'm wondering if there is a place or someone nearby that would process my chickens. I don't have a lot. About 5 per month or so.
Feel free to reply to this thread or PM.

Thanks

p/s: Looking for a Mayan chicken or whatever other chickens that lay Red eggs.

Hello All - I'm very sad today as I just confirmed that one of my chicks is indeed a rooster. I'm sad because I think it would be great to have a rooster in my flock to keep the girls safe and together but where I live doesn't allow them...my property size is only .33 what should I do? Should I just hang on until someone complains or is getting rid of him the right thing to do. We are actively looking for a larger home/lot but we haven't found that perfect one yet and I know the minute I get rid of him that perfect house will just show up....

So very sorry, I've rehomed 6 Roos this year. I hated seeing every single one of them leave, and kept saying I will just wait till someone says something. But I let them all go around 6-9 weeks of age, 1st because most of them did start to try crowing, and 2nd my 5 year old loves them all, that I figured it would be better that way. I'm pretty sure 2 of my Silkies are Roos, and I'm really tempted to try and keep one. But I really think I'm going to try and get really good photo's of them, and see if anyone can tell me for sure they are a Roo, and then find them good homes. I know its really sad.

So if anyone wants a Silkie Roo, let me know, I think one is a blue splash and the other one is starting to get tons of copper in with the greyish/blue that I think maybe its a partridge, not sure.

Welcome merfolk and abw67...hopefully someone will have the answer to your question about processing. I know a few on here are going to learn how them selves.
ab..how old is your cockeral? Has it started to crow yet? The only problem would be when it started. Neighbors are pretty much ok with us having chickens in our close nit neighborhood if we don't have a rooster crowing away. I can't have them either. :/ I personally don't want to have someone complain, and then maybe get things started with others that have chickens. Just a thought.

Hello and welcome! I believe the chicken you are looking for is a Maran. They lay beautiful dark reddish eggs. I have two cuckoosmarans but im coveting a black copper maran. Hopefully one day soon I'll get one. Anyways these are the eggs i think. you are talking about. Is this right?

Thanks Cynthia12 - The little guy is 9 weeks old. When I let them out today he crow'd about 4 times, it was so adorable! I also have a close nit neighborhood and wouldn't want to do anything to upset - I just wish people wanted roos, He's a Golden Campine if anyone is interested.
