I have a Black Copper Marans pullet that is about 6 months old that is available $20. I am located in Carnation. She is related to my Roo so I am selling her.

Delta, I would get that pullet from you. I'm in Carnation as well. Lake Joy Road.

I got my silver ameraucana from Pips&peeps. She's on the other side of the state though. Maybe try at a swap or show. That's where I got my chicks.

A note on your ad there. That looks like an easter egger rooster in the picture. A silver ameraucana hen should look like this

Sorry it was dark in the coop. That's a silver cockerel behind her.

Hi  
I was wondering if anyone has any silver americanas young hens or pullets in my area?? :cd  
I'm in Tacoma  
I have a ad on CL too. Id be willing to travel but no more than a hour or so one way.  Could do Portland or not far off I-5

I've been looking for a Marans pullet for several months now; I can't seem to get just one, nor any females. I have a black copper pullet I can spare, since you have the two splash ones for me (plus the dead bunny)
I seriously need to get your Splash girls to you- except I don't dare touch the plastic on the hoop house until I've got plastic to replace it and getting them out involves opening part of the roof. I wish there was somewhere local to get greenhouse plastic in rolls, because I've got about eight feet or so left and the stuff that's been rubbing against wire for a year or two is popping like soap bubbles. It needs entirely redesigned so a human can walk in, which I was going to do this summer but reality kept intervening. I can come by, I've even got a catching net if that helps by not touching plastic. Just let me know
My sister is better, for very loose values of better; I'm still running grocery errands for her, and had to go retreive The Nephew at school today (via the apprentices driving) because he was puking again. Glad she's doing better, must be w weight off your mind And I fear that I will soon go out and spend money I don't have on something I don't need just to keep my personal virtue levels from becoming toxic.

I need to do that too. The buckling died tonight, and the dogs dug up my planters and tore open some furniture cushions and . . .

oh well . . .

I am home tomorrow after 6:30 if you want to stop by or I am teleworking on wed, which works also. Did you want to get a nice Blue Copper Marans Roo as well.....I'll toss him in as part of the deal.

The Eggs I got from CL hatched, and the chicks are growing. I have some very nice birds and it's making life hard since now I have to decide on the breed I want to concentrate on. I like the Ams for the coloured eggs, but Himself likes BLUE chickens. If I keep a BCM cock, and put him on the splash Am pullets from Stumpfarmer, I would get some blue feathered OE's; that would be cool!

It's a bit early, but it's been a Long day and an even longer week without himself. So, I'm sitting here sipping a really nice Irish (whiskey) and thinking of turning in. All the chores are done so I can sleep the sleep of the innocent!

Good night Washington!​

for greenhouse plastic - have you looked at Charley's greenhouse? They are located in Mt. Vernon - but also sell online. Don't know how their prices compare for you - but I've been happy dealing with them for nursery products, in general - very nice folks. http://www.charleysgreenhouse.com/

I get my ducks tomorrow! And I'm really excited. I haven't posted on here in forever because my job has been super demanding lately, but our 3 hens are doing great (2 barred rocks, one leghorn) and the random wild turkey moved in and won't leave (and I'm a vegetarian, so the "free Thanksgiving dinner" won't happen for us) but she might become our brooder since she seems to nurture everything in sight. I think they know I'm a vegetarian, they seem to flock to me. And today we're getting our two White-Faced Whistling Ducks who might be living in our bathroom for awhile since the hubby hasn't finished our updated half coop half duck house mega pen just yet. (Don't worry, we're keeping the ducks and hens separate! ...last time I asked you'd think I was a murderer).

So quick question, the ducks are being sent overnight to us, but it ended up taking about 2 days. Will there be any harm from them being in boxes for 2 days? I'm going to have food, water, and a handful of slimy slugs waiting for them when they get to my home but I worry. We got these ducks purely because I love ducks and they're my favorite breed so they're already pets. Has anyone else ever been through something like this?

Ok guys I kinda have a question . I have a silkie out there on her nest with 2 babies hatched this morning and last I looked 2 more pipped and 2 unpipped eggs. I was out there this morning watching and listening to the chicks and I was tinkering with mammas feathers and I saw what looks to be lice. I was informed that lice will kill the babies and someone told me to treat her and put new bedding and such in there but.... I am afraid tjat she won't lay on her eggs again and won't the powder hurt the new babies? Should I take the babies away and put the eggs in the incubator I am all new to the bugs and the babies
