Meyers hatchery sells them but I do not know the quality of them.
One lady I got my isbars from sells them. She may be the one you bought them from. Her name is Kim Smith Laockwood, she is in VA. She will most likely be at the swap again this september.
last swap the owner set up a testing day. you could bring 10% of your flock or if you have less than 10 birds just bring one. I drove up to sharpsburg and she tested them on the spot and then at the swap she gave you the paperwork. I don't know if she will do it again this swap. You can also do...
I sold two bird there last swap. I got them tested but i didn't have to pay because I only had two. The swap opened at 8am and my girls sold at 8:08am. The roosters may take a bit longer to get rid of but they are rare, cute and excellent quality so who knows. I also may bring a silkie roo and...
I have 25 russian orloff chicks and it looks like 5-10 are roosters. I was going to take them to the sharpsburg swap in september and whatever I do not sell, I was going to put in the freezer.
I have never freezered a bird before and the orloffs are so pretty..... but i think I can do it.
So sorry for your losses. :(
I had a fox come in the middle of the day and take out 14 juveniles, six laying hens and my duck. I set my coyote trap and a few weeks later I caught her son. My grandpa came over and took care of him and I haven't seen a fox since.
Mine free range during the day...
I think the Pyrenees have been messed with to much. They have been over bred to fit in to a breed standard. I would prefer a working dog from working lines if I were to get a GP. I was thinking about trying out a cane corso as a LGD. The only problem with cane corsos is they are not fit for the...
That's the same for me. When ever I see runny or not normal poo I put out plain Greek yogurt. My birds love the yogurt and it fixes what ever is wrong.
I emailed whitmore last Monday asking if they could hold the splash for me, and bring them to the swop. He only had one splash marans and one splash ameraucana, but he held them and all I had to do was pick them up.
Two weeks ago I emailed them about their splash inventory and reserved that...
Yes! She is my baby. Most people call her a german shepherd mix
My pit bull keeps watch over the chickens and occasionally acts as momma hen to a few chicks. My mali herds them around the yard and chases the fox away.
I went to Whitmore today. I got three splash and three blue marans and one blue ameraucana. I can not wait for the swap and I will be on the look out for splash marans. Hopefully Will, will hatch out some splash on Monday and bring them to the swap for me to buy. Lol
I live in hanover, md and we have had a whole flock taken out by a raccoon but that was years ago. Now I keep my girls in a 12 x 12 dog kennel with chicken wire going around it and a heavy duty tarp for a roof. Their house is in the kennel and it has a sandy dirt bottom with a few rocks in the...
