Just an update: have four blue lf cochin hens and one barred lf cochin hen, and silkie babies left. Also the two bantam cochin roos (black and black/mix). Everything else is gone or spoken for :)
Also still have 4 blue cochin lf hens, 1 OEG hen, and 3 black/2 white/2 brown silkie babies and 1 EE baby, 1 buff baby, 1 EE that lays olive eggs. Babies are all 1 month.
I also have a quail hutch and 11 quail ( 4 to 8 weeks old) for sale. :) the hutch is heavy and still needs a set of doors put on the front so the protective wood outer doors can be open during the day. It is sturdy and has small nesting boxes built in, with double layered wire on all openings...
Palm Coast is north of Daytona Beach, just below St. Augustine :) And I'll still be on BYC, because I am GOING to have my chickens up there. I'm not able to take them because we may rent for a bit til our house here sells, and I don't want to have to worry about getting them a place built and...
I am near Palm Coast and as for prices I haven't even considered lol Just shoot me a PM and we can work it out. Let me know what you are interested in, and I will work something out to sell/meet up. :)
Hey Florida :) I am going to be moving to Ohio in the next 2 months and will not be able to take my flock with me, and want to find them a good home. I have 7 lf cochin hens (blue, black, barred, gold laced) 1 EE hen, 1 OEG hen, 2 black cochin bantam roos (one mixed breed, 1 looks pure bred)...
What kind are you looking for? I have an EE that is laying, and can send you some of hers. It would only be 4 or 5 by weekend, but she's having about 90% fertility, and lays lovely olive eggs. I just hatched one of hers. (EE hen with a friends mixed americauna roo).
I have had fighting too when introducing new members, but was told as long as there was no injury or blood drawing to let it be. They have to establish a pecking order. :)
I have lost four birds, all of them over four months old. This last one was almost six months. Its just so puzzling because she was fine the night before (eating, drinking, demanding attention as usual) and then was gone by 8 AM the next day. I will look into getting some snake repellent, in...
That's almost the point I am at (of not getting more). Very sad and frustrating! I haven't seen snakes back there and no signs of them but it could be. I didn't feel broken bones or anything but it could be something I missed.
Thanks for the info... I've already buried the bird at the back of the property, but if another gets sick/dies I will certainly get it looked into. We have wondered if squirrels getting into the pen and stealing food could expose them to diseases that kill them? (Haven't seen any, but the top...
Has anyone been having problems with birds dying for no discernible cause? I just lost another cochin for no visible reason- so upset!!!! She was eating fine the night before last, then when my son went out to show off the chickens to his friend yesterday morning- she's in the nesting box and...
