oh i want a goat too but i cant have one i love the one on the right! i so would love a silkie but i need to keep my flock number at 12... hey here is an idea for all you, maybe we can have a utah thread get together at the state fair this year? you know get together and look at all the animals and try not to bring them home lol

Great Idea! We should send a warning first that we are on our way so they can hide the chickens especially lol

Silly story. You guys know how I have told you my BR Violet likes to alert me when someone lays an egg. She hollers like crazy when she sees an egg "Mom, come get this egg!" waits for me to come and sits by the next box door waiting for my hand to come in because she gets a treat (mealy worm or popcorn) . We have put fake eggs in the nest when she is not looking, and once she spots it, she runs out and hollers every time. It is quite comical when we fool her. Well, now, for the past week or so, she lays her egg in the morning, gets her treat, then for several hours afterward keeps standing in the nest box, waiting, looking underherself to see if another egg comes out. I think she wants to have more eggs so she can have more treats. This bird is so sweet, but dumb as a box of rocks, I just love her. I have been watching her this morning, and when she sees me in the yard, with the treat bag, she runs into the nest and gets in and just watches uderneath.....hoping and praying for an egg to come out. At least this is how it all appears to me, it is so funny. I thought at first she was going broody, but that is not it. She genuinely seems to want to get the laying egg treats. Funny girl! I do not know what I will do when her time comes, I wish I could have her forever. . She lays every day, just a great bird. I think I should slip that fake egg under her and give her a treat anyway. She deserves it

too cute, I just put my sizzle eggs in my incubator today. This is my first hatching attempt so hopefully I don't mess up too bad. Temp is 99.5 steady. I am going to sell a Barnvelder Pullett hatch 2/13/12 very pretty bird $20.00 I also am going to see an EE hatch date 01/17/12 not laying yet but I think soon $15.00. I also have a black beardless muffless pullett hatch 02/17/12 $20.00 and a Jersey giant hatch date 03/19/12 $15.00 I'll take some pics and post later, I have a pretty lavender Americana I want to show at the fairs and a pretty turkin pullet I may show.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum, but I have already had some correspondence with "La Casa de Pollo" and Sasha. I live in Cache Valley, and I have mostly ducks (Runner, Welsh Harlequin, and Cayuga), but I also have 8 RIR chickens. I'm in the market for some muscovies, and maybe a few good tempered geese. We also have 3 goats, 2 wethers and a female born a couple of months ago. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say "Hello." I have often used BYC as a reference, but never started posting, until now.

Hello All,
Dave

Hey Cynthia the ones on the left and right are available

Wish I could! The one next to the one Brad likes..I like the next to last one.

Lisa, she is laying very well. And, she lays the smooth egg. I can't explain it. It's a creamy/brown color, but the egg is so smooth to the touch. She lays me around 5 a week.
My NH is coming up here pretty quick. I'll be posting the "here it is" picture of one of my pullets first eggs.
Call me if you want Lisa..

Way to go Dave! Glad you are on here. Welcome

Cynthia, I love those smooth glossy eggs. Stop teasing me. I am on the fence and I know Sphinx is probably driving through there any minute.......Ack. I have her number.....Trying not to do it. Trying trying trying

 

[Cynthia12]

She'll be a good one, and I would love you to be the one to get her..I best go look for a big box.

Man, we just had a nice little dump of ice come down. I was out getting the lavender, I got wet!

Was it hailing anywhere else besides Orem? I woke up around 8:45 to the sound of screaming chickens and hailstones hitting everything, then right after the hail, it started raining. And at night, the wind scared me so much I brought my 2 broodies with chicks indside, then earlier today it was sunny? Can Utah decide on it's weather!?
