YO GEORGIANS! :)

Haha, yeah I don't think roosters are in high demand...ever. I may take you up on your offer though especially since I know you have goat's and I've been contemplating that commitment

@roboduck do you cull your own birds?

 

[RoboDuck]

GAM does all that dirty work. GAMjr helps when she's around. I do all the heavy work around the farm. Robojr does most of the feeding/watering. And GAM does the killing and cleaning.

Ok people.... those few who still actually post and don't pretend that their lives are more important than spending time with me..... y'all behave. I'm going over to the farm to build a storage shed. I will be pretending that I know what I'm doing. Hopefully this thing won't come out looking like a trapezoid.

There are little to no chicken owners near me in the Atl.

Have you seen the ITP Backyard Poultry group on MeetUp? There's a meet/coop tour on tomorrow in Clarkston.

Perhaps you could find some of the folks that still think they HAVE to have a roo for the girls to lay? No offense intended but I have given (it's Fall and so long as my numbers go lower I'm okay with not selling;-)) away a few cockerels and roosters to old timers that thought they wouldn't be getting eggs because their roo died or disappeared. You know, the type of an age to be your grandparent so having farmed/ raised chickens many years you just can't bring yourself to correct? Lol. And an old feed sac is still the main mode of single chicken transport

Ha, yeah maybe I could find someone like that. I did get an offer from a random person today through here. However, they just signed up today as a byc member and I don't know if i should care so much where these birds go. :/

yes I'm on there, but being closer to the city no one wants a rooster or can't have one, I have it offered on the message board, nothing so far.

And never try to correct a longterm chicken person who believes it…I tried when I got 6 pullets…and he was so irritable that I didn't trust 20+ years of experience that I would never see any eggs without a rooster in the flock.

GAM said bring them over and she will teach you how to process chickens.
