Having a bad week lost a Golden laced Wyandotte hen last night I seen her sitting around yesterday in the run and she was there in same spot last night when I closed things up I checked her then didn't notice any crop problems have no idea what happened there was also an EE doing the same type of thing but she snapped out of it. I have had them free ranging for the past 3 days don't know what they got into I don't put any kind of poison out ever my black lab would find it in minutes so never use it. This. Hen was about 8 months old pretty girl hate to have lost her.

Sorry to hear you're lost your GLW. I lost a one-year-old SLW. It was during a really hot summer. I thought she was OK, she laid an egg that day and everything and was active. But when I went out in the afternoon she was dead. It's the only chicken I've ever had to die. I really really like my SLW's, and plan to get some GLW's next year.

There is a small high quality feed store in Olympia called Eastside Urban Farm and Garden that has black runner ducks right now. I did not check and see if they were sexed, and I don't know if that would work for you anyway, or if you would want to even drive that far. But we've had really good luck with their chicks all being properly sexed and much higher quality than TSC and the like.

We want to get an Americauna rooster, but not right now. We have one rooster already, and 16 hens/pullets. We're strongly considering placing an order with Dunlap hatchery in the spring. Last spring we ordered hatching eggs from them, and even with our crappy incubator the regular sized eggs had a 50% hatch rate. The bantam eggs did not do so well. But their little bantam Americauna eggs were just a gorgeous shade of turquoise. Theoretically if we ordered chicks they should be wonderful. They also have bantam blue laced red wyandottes. And Indian runner ducks. No clue on sexing ducklings, but they were really nice when we ordered from them before over the phone.

Sorry, I haven't been able to figure out how to insert a quote yet. This was in response to yesterday's inquiry about finding an Indian runner duck in Western Washington or a good hatchery to order from.
