My poor NN rooster met his end sadly and I am without a roo at all here in Saratoga! Very sad, my ladies will miss him.. Come spring, I'll be looking for an adult rooster that's good to his ladies and doesn't spur humans. :P Bigger roo (no silkies or bantams- my geese might pick on the lil guy)...
My goslings are big now! Too bad I am pretty sure they are both boys, but that's what I get for ordering from somewhere that doesn't sex them. :P They still hang with their chicken 'hatchmates' and are getting along with the big chickens as well. Hopefully that continues.
Yeah I have read your posts - I am not expecting much - loud noise is enough since my window overlooks the chicken area so I can run out there. I have one old rooster but he is the quietest rooster ever. Planning to keep both. They are adorable!
Glamour shot of super obnoxious chick that needs a home! S/he managed to live out the day with MUCH older chicks, as it is a super escape artist and seems to get out of wherever I put it. Under the heat in the house again now and not happy with stuffed animals/sock or mirror. Tried another...
Just a mixed breed - daddy is a naked neck since that's my only rooster but this chick is not a NN. My broody unfortunately offed one chick so I have this lone one just peeping away. Happy to give it to someone near me if I can't find a friend! :)
Does anyone have chicks near Saratoga or want one? I have a lone chick that needs at least one friend, the stuffed animal isn't doing it. Even a male packing peanut will work. Help! :)
Anyone near me have any day old/just hatching chicks? My baby emu hatched yesterday and poor thing is lonely. I have a broody here just in case they don't get along, but she's insisting on sitting on non fertilized frizzle eggs :P.
The stuffed animal just ain't doing it! :)
I will!! I have a few people who were also interested but I will keep you in mind as well. We likely cannot keep them until full adulthood unless my DH totally falls in love and is willing to put up 6 foot tall fences.. :)
Finally got my Emu eggs! If anyone might be interested in Emu when they get too big for me I'll be happy to keep you in mind.. if they hatch, that is. :P
Can't wait for this snow to melt..
Checking in after an age.. All is overall well although just lost my old half blind chicken 'loaf' - she somehow waited until *after* the mega cold /sigh.. At least the others are doing well!
RIP Loaf 2012-2018.. (old pic, she no longer had the beard and was sans one eye)..
I wish a chickenstock would be held near me again! Have only made it to two over the years.. not as many members here from my area, it seems..
Anywho, some might remember I lost my only NN roo Pugsley a few months ago - I managed to hatch 6 of his eggs and out of those 6, did manage one NN...
Still looking for an Emu egg (or two!).. :)
Yes Virginia, leghorns do go broody.. this is my five+ year old hatchery brown leghorn with her stolen chicks..!! :)
