It looks like I'm going to have quite a few extra cockerels in the next few weeks. Any one know of somewhere that will take/buy them?

There is an auction in Enumclaw. Make sure to take them in boxes that you DO NOT WANT BACK!!! Also there are 2 auctions in Chehalis. All of these are Saturday events.

How did I miss this post? What happened?
I don't know what the issue was either. I didn't see anything obvious. I sent her an e-mail. Waiting on a reply.

I want to hang the nesting boxes off the right side, and hand/add-on another 'room' 3.5'x18"x3' off the back so I can get more hens.... Chicken math... Haha.... Hubby is worried I am too attached to the hens... I said the hens were great! But what I was attached to were the different colored eggs

I like your coop. Couldn't you just add an additional 2 legs beneath the room add-on? With 2x4 legs, I don't know if you want to expand too much without additional leg support. It might get top-heavy and wobbly. I would think adding the nest box without legs would be fine.

OMGosh, I just died

Must be the way they remind me of how I love to sunbathe! Just lay me out, bring me a margarita, we good.

LOL!

Hey - where's the umbrella for this one?

Anyone want a black small hen that enjoys going broody? when she's not broody she lays eggs daily for me she's a cochin mix (not sure what she's mixed with) at least that is what i was told the eggs were when i hatched them. she's 7 months old. Hand raised and pretty tame for me. Not scared of dogs.
she lays small/medium eggs.

Oh and update on my mom and chickens "I want 20 more hens" that is a message i got from my mom this morning who said she wanted to get rid of them the other day. Starting to think she has multiple personalities.

Did you ever get an urge you just couldn't resist, and you add up your order and realize the "6" chickens you are "allowed" to have turned in to say......21???


The chicken math has hit the fan

Not counting the chicks you WILL be taking from the science experiment....

ETA: DH says he'll be throwing them over your fence.

My posts are like blog entries... I dislike it. lol...


GUESS WHAT!?!?! I got my nest box built today! It looks great, and makes the rest of my upcycled coop look like... well upcycled. I'll post pics tomorrow, obviously it's a little dark out.

Yay! Feels good to finish a project, huh? Can't wait to post that we're finally finished with our current project.

Alright well I just got back from outside. Pulled all 4 chicks out from under Lucy so they'd eat and drink. Everyone ate, nobody got a drink even though the water is right there in front of their faces. Guess they're not thirsty? Lucy chats up a storm when they're out from under her and this time I walked away while they were still out. When I went back, they had each gotten themselves back under her, so I guess it's working! She did peck one pretty hard one time but she's really not hurting them or going after them. I'm going to wait 2 hours this time to go check on them.
