Tempting, but we've already got a half dozen cockerels we don't need and a rooster, I don't want to push the neighbors' good graces any further.

P.S. Lemme know if any are hens! *chuckle*

fer cryin' out loud CR, you aren't LEAVING us are you? oh don't

yeah, sometimes a few more smilies would make your printed words sweeter and easier to swallow

takes a bit of getting used to; the newer ones on the list might take a thing or two the wrong way, until they get to know you

stick around a bit, ok ?

I've had this happen, too. I don't fill the whole jar anymore, just the tray part.
How many days are they supposed to be on paper towels? They (the towels) get dirty SO fast. I'm forever changing them.

I changed them twice a day the first couple of days, then once a day and now they're on newspaper and aspen shavings like the big kids. I'm hoping I can put them all in one box and switch back and forth to make cleaning easier, but that may not happen before I get their hoop house made on the unused part of the front porch. That's going to be all pvc pipe, greenhouse plastic and cage wire with a loose linoleum floor and one of the plastic bins made into a coop. Framing the door is going to be an SOB, my least favorite job in the world, but oh, well, has to be done.

Tip:
Get a few bags of playsand at Home Dept, and use it for your brooder bedding.
#1) Chicks need sand to digest..
and better yet:
#2) Sand is non flammable, and oh so warm for the babies to get in...
no worries that the heat lamp will ignite anything...
#3) Sift the sand with a cat box spoon, to collect doo doos.
#4) the sand will naturally dry the poops, and so it will not remain gooey & get everywhere.........ick.
Just the way I do it~~

And the person who has so many peacocks here in this area....and showed at the Fair!!!!
there is 1 white hen, 1 blue hen, and 1 blue male.
I threw some scratch, they started to come, and I backed away.
I will bet you this idiot dumped these birds for 2 reasons:
1- In front of my place that they would gravitate here..
and
2) that they are old, non reproductive age?
Sick?
useless?

Has anyone seen CL for peacocks for sale recently???
bet no one wanted them so the guy dumped them off in front of my property thinking I would take care of them, I have a sign,,,,,birds for sale, eggs, chicks, etc..........
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, a giant pheasant, but peacocks running loose all over the hillsides make for no sleep, day or night...

What is worse is that this guy dumped them out here!
How irresponsible is that?
THE GOOD PART IS THAT WE BOTH SAW THE BIRDS, AND dh SAW THE WHOLE THING, TRUCK & ALL...so we will be notifying authorites.

Chicken Rustler, I don't post much but I do read. Your post are usually very light hearted. I don't know what brought this about but just relax and go on with life here. People would miss you a lot if you left.

So how about a virtual hug from a stranger?

CR- stay around. Everyone needs a little chicken bandit in their life.
