About a month ago, my 23 year old son was hospitalized for a psychiatric break. He was diagnosed with schizoaffective Disorder and after a long discussion, decided that his little parakeet, Lulu, would be better off here on the farm. SO, now I have a beautiful Blue Parakeet named Lulu and she's...
So while I have been part of BYC for 13 years (WOW really?!?) I have been gone for a while. Between my health, family and live itself, it got a bit crazy around here. SO, let me re-introduce myself.
My name is Crystal and I am 45 years old. I am originally from PA but have lived in Central IL...
I am super excited right now.... on Thursday, May 31, 2018... my husband and I drove over an hr and 30 mins away to pick up a few babies.... when we arrived... the gentleman we were getting them from said that we could have 11 for the price of 5!!
So now I am the proud owner of 11 Bourbon Red...
Let me try this again now that I am in the right place (I hope). I live in Central Illinois. We are looking to add turkeys to the farm. Anyone near me have any?
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I’ve had chickens for about 10 years now. I got my first ones when my son, now 18, wanted to join 4H. We’ve had them ever since.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
20+
(3) What breeds do you have?
Light Brahma, Wyandotte...
I currently have one male. I am going to get some hens and babies next week. I am wanting to bring them inside (they are in the garage in a cage now) for winter. Does anyone have any recommendations for a planted pen inside (basement)?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Crystal
Hello everyone!!
We are looking to add a pygmy wether to the farm. We are located in Central Illinois but can drive a little bit from home. Will get lots of attention and love. Have a HUGE area to play in and plenty of toys to keep him occupied.
If you have any pygmy kids, please let me...
I am looking for someone that raises Light Brahmas. I am wanting to add them to our farm. We live in Central IL. Anyone close have any?? Any one ship??
I have several Easter Egger chickens for sale. Asking $10 each. I also have 2 Silver Welsh Harelquin drakes for sale $20 each. Pastel Call ducks $20 for males (I have 2) and the female is $30. CASH ONLY
Located in Central Ilinois. I am looking to purchase some Partridge Rocks and White Frizzle Cochin Bantams. Would prefer to pick up locally but would not object to shipping the in.
We had a call duck hen that went broody on us about 6 weeks ago... after dealing with her "fiesty" personality, we decided to let her sit. Lastnight, we checked the coop to find 6 happy, healthy and very active ducklings!!!! So excited to see these little ones grow.
I finally talked my husband into getting a heavy breed of duck. We have had Call Ducks for a couple years now and I've been wanting a pair of Pekins... Finally, after seeing them at our local fair, we purchased a pair from a local 4her. I cant wait to get chicks for next year!!!! We are thinking...
We are looking for a grey drake. We lost ours over the winter and are needing another drake. If you have one and live close to me (I'm in IL) let me know.
Ok I was told they were call ducks BUT I know they arent'.. can anyone tell me what they are??
This is Liberty -- She was hatched on July 4.... She's the oldest of the ducklings from Drake and Josephine..
This is Jospehine (mama Duck)
This is Drake (daddy Duck)
These are their latest...
Looking for some Bantam Chickens.. Silkies & Cochins preferred but would consider others. Looking to purchase 1 roo and 4 hens in each breed. MUST live in IL (I want to pick up). PM me or call/text 309-530-4206 with information.
We ordered prime show quality show Blue Indian Runner ducklings from Holderreads in OR. I just found out today that my little ones will be here tomorrow!!! SO excited... any advice on these little ones???
TIA
