is anyone interested in adopting a Tufted Roman gander of unknown age? my poor Ricky is all alone again after some predator killed all his Silkie friends and he's driving my mother crazy squawking all the time out of boredom and loneliness. i really don't want to get rid of him, but i feel bad...

Quote: there isn't a really well established market that i'm aware of, unfortunately, except some horse/cattle sales which are kind of dubious. i too am wanting to get into sheep for lamb, but the market is really small right now. the only place i can find lamb regularly is The Market here in...

Quote: not in Knoxville, but out in Maryville (about 30 mins away). there are several of us E TN folks all within about 45 mins of each other. Oak Ridge does a lot of nuclear research but it's all pretty safe. everything dangerous is buried deep underground and encased in specially designed...

i think he's pretty set on the silver-laced, especially since there are several hatcheries that sell them if he can't find them locally. i will definitely pass on the message about the Barnies though! eta: do you, or will you in the near future, have any Delaware hens about POL for sell...

good to see everyone is alive after all this horrible snow! i hate it. be gone! the birds don't really seem to care though. so, a chicken friend who is NOT tech savy asked me to have a look around for a whole bunch of fancy bantams he wants. he's getting rid of his LF and going banty "cause...

Quote: we got one of those at the kitchen supply store at the Tanger outlet. it wasn't the cute chicken shape, but it works well. it looks like they have the one you wanted on Amazon though.

Quote: don't take it personally, it tells almost everyone that! i have friends that are MOST DEF not overweight and it's still basically called them porkers! apparently the Japanese original version was even harsher!

Quote: none of mine have heat since they are out in fields or the far end of the yard and nowhere near an electrical outlet. if you can keep the wind off them they should be fine. my Silkies (who live with the goose) have a whole bale of hay down in their 8ft x 8ft pen (made out of chain link...

i won't be hatching any, but i'll probably be ordering some. if you want, you could put your order in with me.

Quote: HAHAHA! he probably thinks he's in heaven then- my big roos and the older hens gave him a decent amount of run around. he's probably thinking that a bit of peace and quiet, with the future prospects of his own harem of hens, is the greatest thing EVER.

stanglover, did you make it home without a rooster escape? hope things are good and you are happy with the little guy.

Quote: how old are the Silkie girls?

Quote: they both have pea combs. both of the boys hatched out of blue eggs from my EE hens. i know Percy is the father of the white one, but there is always a chance that the black and white one is carrying brown egg genes from one of my other roosters. i don't THINK so because he doesn't look...

Quote: i sure think so too. unfortunately, i tell him that all the time and i think it's going to his head. speaking of roosters, i think i have a solution to your roosterless situation also. when you were here you said you wanted one but you didn't really have the space. but... if you send...

Quote: sooooooo, it's raining buckets and the little roos look like drowned rats... i'm going to post some more pics from a few months ago and a pic of another roo i had that looks very similar to the black and white one i have to sell. the two roos at 3 months: you can see that they both...

Quote: don't have an answer about the bumblefoot but i'd be happy to come over and lend some moral support if you decide to do the deed.

Quote: wonderful! i don't want much for them. i'll post new pics tomorrow.

Quote: i saw him at the fair and he said that he was getting some Scottish Highland cattle and some goats (i think), so maybe he's just too busy chasing animals around.

Quote: i have two BEAUTIFUL EE roos that i'd love to sell. if i don't sell them they are headed to the freezer. they are 7 months and definitely in the mood for love. they are well behaved and have been well schooled by my older roos. non-aggressive, attentive and watchful of the girls. i'm...

i really wish you weren't about as far from me as you could be! i'd happily take those lav orps from you... and maybe a few more to boot. my dad is in Como right now... wonder if i could convince him to bring them back with him? (yeah, right) my yard is devoid of turkeys for the first time in 8...
