That would be fantastic! I'd like some pretty young keets - I'm not partial to the white ones but just about all the other colors are great - pied, pearl gray, lavender...
Just let me know what you find out - and thank you in advance for helping me with this!!!
Had a long, slithery visitor last night in the chicken yard... and now I'm looking for anyone who has guinea keets or young guineas. DH has been wanting some, but I didn't want any... until now. LOL! And now I just don't want to wait for them to hatch... though I suppose we'll go that rout if we...
Haplessrunner - I may have to work out a trade with you at some point for some Cream Legbars. Maybe in the next year or so. Love both the blue eggs and the auto-sexing traits of the breed. (Though they're not as colorful as SFHs - LOL.)
Typing slow... brace on wrist.
I also understand Legbars are auto sexing at hatch. I want some as my 3rd breeding flock once I move and (hopefully) have more space for chickens.
LOL - You could have sold those brooders 10 times over for what ever price you wanted, had they been for sale at Gilmanor! Who needs a day job? Just build brooders and you'll be good... and maybe a bit sore. LOL! Just invest in a good workbench (2 saw horses with a plywood top?) where you can...
What an amazing day at Gilmanor yesterday! I had gone to bed at about 9:30 the night before and got up at 12:30 to leave to meet ki4got - LOL! Not much sleep, but I was wired from the excitement.
Spent the morning doing my best elf imitation, trying to stay warm in the hoodie I was wearing. It...
Awww... so sorry for your (and your daughter's) loss. We had to cull my daughter's favorite a couple months ago - dislocated pelvis. It's never easy to lose them.
HUGS!
OK - for those going to Gilmanor - I'll be bringing:
A flock of Dark Cornish - 1 SQ hen, 3 breeding quality hens (all laying) and one breeding quality roo. Will be sold as a flock.
Week-old Dark Cornish Chicks
A "Pet" bantam Cochin rooster (maybe). This is a good-looking, child-safe bird bred...
He has light pinkish-gray legs but only 4 toes. Best personality EVER! So ki4got - you think he might be a Weebs son? He's one of those rare cases where there is NO way my family could continue raising him up just to eat him. LOL. Yet, we just don't have room for another rooster right now.
I have a 11-week-old Buff Orp X ? cockerel (hatched from ki4got stock) who needs to belong to someone. He lets my kids walk right up and pick him up at which point he settles right down and falls asleep in their arms. Normally I would just sell or process extra boys, but this guy is special...
My girls are laying like crazy, so if you want eggs in the future, just let me know. (Or I could ship 'em tomorrow - you'd probably get them Saturday at the latest and just stick them in as soon as they get there. One day shouldn't cause a problem. (Hatchaholic enabler here!!!)
jmarie -
I'll be bringing a whole bunch of SFH chicks to Gilmanor! They'll mostly be straight run, but I may have a few old enough to tell...
I also currently have fertile hatching eggs available and they can be shipped if you or someone you know can hatch them. They're up in the classified...
