I'm looking to get either a pair of regulars and a pair of whites, two pairs of regulars, or a few babies.
I'm shooting a wedding in MO this weekend, so bonus points if anyone has any currently available in Oklahoma, Missouri, or Arkansas.
My gals are 24 weeks old now. No eggs yet. I feel like I should start taking bets on who lays first and give away prizes at this point.

Here is my weirdo polish, Mieszko, now that he's less of a baby. He still hasn't started crowing, and he's getting near six months, so we're just hoping he holds on a bit longer. I don't need the city finding out I have chix again.
this is my first cornish, so i'm not too versed in sexing. somebody crowed this morning, though. i'm pretty sure it was my glw, but i'd still like your opinions on this lil one:
We've been thinking pullet all along, but the red was looking a little...red to me. I can take more shots if needed; I just grabbed a bad flash one last night when I thought about it.
Banty roos that were random chicks from Atwoods. They're around 7 weeks old now and about to find new homes, but I thought I'd get some help on breed and color.
mottled oegb?
d'uccle?
I'm in OKC area but don't mind driving a little ways. I'm looking for a few bantam ameraucana hens and bantam cuckoo maran hens. Maybe 2-3 of each, depending. Let me know if you have either!
I snapped some quick chix pix this afternoon so I could get a little help with sex and breed. I bought fourteen random bantam chicks from Atwoods a little over five weeks ago, so they should be between five and six weeks old. I'm sure of five roos (who will be looking for new homes in a few...
This was another random bantam from the Atwoods bin. I had to take it b/c it was so doofy looking. It shrieked for the first two days and stands a head taller than the other chicks. Any idea on breed/sex?
This one came from an grab bag of sorts from Atwoods. We know who the rest of the roos are by now, but this little one is out of my area of expertise. Any idea on sex? Feel free to mention the color if it's familiar.
The top photo was three days ago, and the bottom was yesterday.

came home to find this on my door:
dis! note the incorrect "remove by" date. the only mention of chickens in the whole municiple code:
(8) No rooster shall be tethered closer than 400 feet to any dwelling, church, school building or place of business on adjacent properties.
(9) No...
my girls were all ok this morning, but when i went out to feed after getting home from work just now, my banty wyandotte hen (9wks) was walking slow and wobbly. i went to pet her and she fell over. when i picked her up, she felt very light, not my usual fat lil butterball. she ate and drank...
six weeks old today. i managed to get rid of 7 roos and 5 extra girls via freecycle, and i've got the last 3 roos going to a lady at work tomorrow. so now i'm down to 18. original plan was 12-14ish, but what can you do?

erin is testing out a new site, so he put our chick and quail webcams on it to see how well it works.

they had one pen of beautiful hens. they were so hot and right in the sun, and the guy just kept pouring water in on them to keep them cool. he told us they were araucanas, which they obviously aren't, but they do have blue legs, so i'm assuming ee. doesn't matter, we loved them and snagged two...
