Hi~no, I'm not NPIP certified. I've put it off too long!

I'm offering started Norwegian Jaerhon chicks for sale ~ $12 ea. I *really* love my Scandinavian flock! They are wonderful foragers on our high Colorado forest farm, just a very hardy cold-climate layer. Being a light-weight, agile and alert breed, they are talented at evading predators...

I am doing an order for Ameraucana and Ameraucana Bantam chicks from John Blehm (chickhatchery.com). John is a very serious Ameraucana breeder and I've loved his stock. If others would like to go in on the order, let me know! I'll be scheduling mid-March delivery if possible. I do travel...

Anyone wanna go to the Botanic Gardens Chicken Coop Tour? Sat 10-4. I'd love to get a BYC foursome together~funner than going alone and definitely cheaper ($20 for up to 4 people).

Quote: Rosemary, O my gosh. I just realized that you are Henri's owner. Hope he is doing well and his lady, too. You were so nice when I was enquiring about him. My best wishes for you and your mom. Sadly, I am back looking for another roo, because the last one I had turned aggressive...

Quote: Rosemary, Please give my best regards and wishes to your Mom. I truly enjoyed meeting and talking with her that day. She is one hearty gal!! ~Gail Hey, Gail~I will pass along your wishes to her. I think she is pretty amazing! And fun~I hope I'm still enjoying life as much as she is...

Quote: We've had an incredible, lush native grass hay season up here in the hinterland! So much so that, after our tractor pooped out, we couldn't find a local soul with a tractor to help us (that wasn't busy up to their eyeballs mowing everyone's fields even three cuts this summer). We ended...

Hello everyone~ Due to my needing to be in Denver a lot to help my mom (who is 95!), I've decided to reduce my flock. My husband does his best when I am away to care for all my beauties, but I need to lighten his load! I can deliver to the Front Range this coming Monday, would prefer to place...

Quote: alpinefarm, How do the Jaerhorns do in the hot summers down at lower elevation (5000 ft) and are they good layers? Thanks! -DB They are very good layers. Our elevation is 8400' and so our summers are cool and winters downright arctic, but I've had them laying year-round. I've...

Quote: My favorite high-altitude/"winter" breeds are Norwegian Jaerhons and then also Ameraucanas and/or Easter-Eggers. I don't have any to offer you myself right now but will next season if you are interested.

Quote: I'm not sure you can ever find hardware cloth cheap, but while in Fort Collins/Wellington a couple of weekends back, I saw bulk machine fabric at the Ace Hardware store. It was priced by the foot, and was cheaper than what we paid for a 25' roll at Lowes the week before. For forest...

Quote: I'm sorry to hear that~

Quote: Maybe start here... http://www.denverurbanhomesteading.com/market.htm I'll check it out for sure. Thanks for the info. Looks like an awesome market! I've made a nice culture from the Braggs brand that Vitamin Cottage sells.

What Front Range swaps are coming up in Aug? And are poultry get-togethers/shows/swaps ever held in Grand Junction, you fellow West Slopers?

Quote: Hiya Gail~ The last of our snow up over our back hill is almost melted. We use the snow in our cooler, so we'll have to start buying blocks of ice from town this next week. What is happening with your milles this season??? My mille eggs are piling up and I can't convince my girls to...

I have a pair of Marans that I'd like to offer for sale. The rooster is Black Copper and the hen Blue Copper. I can deliver along the 1/70 corridor (or to Denver) in about 10 days. Please PM if interested! Rosemary

Let's hope this is the *last* snowstorm till fall. Does anyone in the Denver area have a largish bird shipping container I could buy? Only need one and don't wanna have to buy a bunch online. Rosemary (in Lakewood for a few days)

Hey there....! Our spring hopes up here in the hinterland have been dashed this weekend with 5 more inches of snow. Shheeesh! NO MORE!!!!! I have a darling millefleur cochin bantam pair that I am offering for sale. Please PM me if you are interested and I will brave the cold today and get some...

Quote: There was a GREAT seed swap thread here on BYC last year....https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=2962901 Check it out!

Would anyone like some Norwegian Jaerhon hatching eggs? I have a bunch this spring and it is a little early to be trusting the weather for shipping. I will be in Denver this weekend and can bring them that far, at least. Jaerhons are an amazing a free-ranging breed as they are smallish, alert...
