TERRI - Looks like my friend Al' s(short for Alicent) bird's are one of each, judging by size etc and comparing them to my known roo. Hard to tell for certain yet because her birds are developing a little slower. I had mine on everything the best I could get my hands on to help them (even tho...
TERRI `- just an FYI - The large rooster, the one that had never been sick, other than a mild to moderate case of round worm like the two my friend also got, (check older posts plz Jim-I apologize if I failed to make this clear) and the one I was going to return to you, has been re-homed to a...
I appreciate your input Lisa, however, I wasn't "asking" Terri to take back the birds, I was taking her up on her very generous offer made to me when I bought them that if they turned out to be roos she would take them back. Believe me, I totally understand about the sick birds. Honesty is not...
OK, soooo,, looks like I have a transportation problem. No way to get them down to Madison?? to Terri and she won't be coming north at all until at least spring. Anyone want a free, very good looking (but very off SOP), healthy and tame pure bred Australorp roo???
Hi Terri!!!
here are some pics of some of mr. Urch's birds. These belong to rattlesnakeridgewv over on the Aussie thread and are 24 weeks old in these pics taken this past summer. Thought you might like to see them
Morning everyone :frow
YEP, I have a large landing net too but have never had to use it. Mine are such pigs that all I have to do is open the mailbox where I store their dried mealworms and they totally forget everything else.
LISA - thank you for all the great advice. I'm trying hard not to...
I actually thought of that but you would not believe how bonded these two are! If I thought it would work, I would actually keep the little one I worked so hard on which oddly seems to be closer to the SOP than his brother (per a breeder on the Australorp thread) but they are totally...
Here's a pic of the "kids" taken just a little while ago. One on the left is already crowing. Those of you that know Aussies, what do you think? Right one a hen? Just don't know with those tail feathers.
Morning everyone!
Wow it's a crispy morning. Everything covered in white and a freezing fog. Very eerie sunrise.
Love all the pics from everyone. Thank you Terri for posting the Aussies. Handsome "daddy" but that is one wonky comb! Momma is pretty! Couldn't tell for sure from the pic but...
First, I want to say to CINDLADY that I am so very happy you are getting some good news for a change both with your beloved kitty and especially your hubby!!! I hope you are able to totally enjoy your extra days before he comes home and squeeze in some SERIOUS me time :hugs. Then make sure you...
YEP, that was me, but I have learned a few tricks after years of gardening in the frozen tundra :old. ;)
24o here this morning but still 40o in the coop :thumbsup
CINDLADY - WOW!!! CONGRATS!!!
CC- I want lots of pics of the new baby :D
Oh CC, so sorry :hugs I mean it. How old was he? Any ideas about the monster that attacked him?
About stitching up injuries, I think I may have mentioned this before that I use liquid stitch. You can get it at most pet supply livestock, etc. And I think it's even available in the Wal-Mart...
Since we don't have cattle (milkweed is toxic to them), I tried to seed our meadow with milkweed several times for the butterflies and the pods for my crafting, but I think our soil is just too acid.
