rehome em together
Hi all,
I just found this thread (due to not being on a whole lot of "lists") as there is so much more to do in life, especially with a sick husband. Someone recommended this as a good place to ask about where to find different chicken breed "breeders".
So... that is mainly why I am here. I really need to find a good quality Cream Legbar hen. One of my young hens/pullets is laying pink eggs and I need to replace her. I only have four hens and I have no intentions of keeping this hen for chick raising. Anyone know of a breeder who is breeding the lighter cream Cream Legbars?
To top it all off, one of my Partridge Penedesencas, also a pullet, started laying olive eggs instead of the normal chocolate color. Grrrr.... She is officially for sale!
Yes, I live in Washinton... on the great Olympic Peninsula, where a winter windstorm took out my chicken coop. Luckily, no chickens were harmed. They were still sitting on their perchs, with an 18" diameter tree laying within a very few feet of the edge of the roost. I caught all but one by picking them up one by one and stuffing them into a dog crate. It took me two days to catch that last one as I could not find where she was hiding. Then on Sunday, there she was... near my feet and the race was on. Now, just imagine a 70+ year old lady, short grey hair in a wizard style from just getting up, in her nightgown with a purple fuzzy coat over it, and rubber barn boots, wielding a trout net, running after a stressed hen who did not want to be caught. Yep.... should be a cartoon, huh?
I look forward to sharing information and fun times with everyone....
Thats why i don't use heat lamps, only 60-75 watt incandescent bulbs in the wide ceramic livestock clip lights. Its not saying ya still can't start a fire…..its just a lot harder.You are wise. One of our neighbors had his chicks in their basement. It was over a year before they could move back into their home. It had to be completely gutted as the wiring, plastic water pipes, all burned/melted.
Bet they don't do that again~~~~
I want a tripod to hang a heat lamp from. With thick stiff latched arms between the legs.
This might be useful.? A comparison between feeds. Ofcourse everyone should use what works for them though!
You are an Angel for saving the castaways !I tried to twist the Spurs but I had to clip the one first because it twisted around the back of his leg! Worst spur I've ever seen!
Update! Found a great home where they can all go together and they found the 3rd hen but haven't caught her yet...
