Hello all! I am two miles south of Hamilton and have a magnificent Sportsman cabinet incubator to sell. I love this thing! We're getting our property ready to sell, so the goal of my life at the moment is to SIMPLIFY - thus the sale of my beloved incubator. It is a 1502 digital model, comes...

Oh no! Azriel, I am so sorry to hear this. I have heard a couple of people suggest that if you have to set your animals free to save their lives first spray paint your phone number on their hides so that they can be reunited with you when the crisis has passed. I am hearing stories of people...

I have really, really wanted to do the deep litter method but keep reading altering information on what actually to use to make up the litter. It's got to be more than just shavings and DE, right? I read one article that was so complex and it has kept me from actually going for it. You add...

Oh yeah - you are the first name on my pullets list for next year!! And sadly I am not legally allowed to sell my pressure canned chicken - I don't have a licensed kitchen. There has been an amazing amount of interest though, so I might look into the requirements again to be able to sell meat...

You are very sweet to not want a refund!! But I insist; you bought pullets and got cockerels instead so I can't in good conscience keep your payment. I will try to paypal it back to you if you don't pm me with an address to send a check to. Yes - that is a lot of roosters we are left with and...

Wow - so I got two wrong. That's terrible! They are guaranteed, so I will refund your money. do you think that you could post photos? They are the cross breed babies, so I hope that I made it clear enough from the beginning that the RIR were only possibly pure but just as likely cross - that's...

Oh no! The two your hen hatched out right - not the birds I gave you???? So sorry - that's tough if they are both boys.

And my flock lives on!! Callie killed another Raccoon last night - by golly I love this dog! If I could take out a billboard praising the Anatolian Shepherd Flock Guardian dogs, I would. There's the nasty little wanna be assassin on the front right corner of the the photo there.

Oh Karla, you are talking to a kindred spirit here!!! You should have heard my conversation with my best friend as I was preparing to head over to this meeting; I was braced for a fight if it turned out that the Montana officials were trying to implement this as a power grab. I have studied...

I spent Tuesday in Deer Lodge with the state Veterinarian Dr Martin Zaluski, the state Field Veterinarian Dr. Tahnee Szymanski, USDA's DVM Glen Baily and two other federal agents (who's names and titles I'm not sure of so I won't insult them by misstating who they are). They met with six of us...

How's everyone doing today Karla? They are 11 1/2 weeks old.

Ha! Yeah, you're welcome to the both of them if they are girls. I'll keep you posted.

If it does turn out to be a he, what do you think of this girl instead? She seems to be a RIR crossed with Ameraucana. I think her muff and beard is very cute and I like it that her comb is coming in pea. ignore the black chicken in the front....

OK Karla - so that super pretty one is one of the 6 birds (out of 78) that I can not decide what gender it is. What do you think? Anyone else have an opinion? 11 week old cross breed. I was thinking boy because I thought I saw the tell tale shoulder coloration coming in, but then the wing...

I adore feathered legs - absolutely adore them. I've never had a Cochin so I can't say how the feathering presents on those birds, but by the picture that chick would have perfectly feathered legs if it were a Marans.

I really am sorry to hear you're sick. It's a crappy time of the year to not be at full strength. I so wish that the two shows were at different times - I'm disappointed not to be able to attend. What town is this one in again? I would like to contact the organizer at some point and plead...

Azriel - are you getting ready for the Idaho show? What'cha bringing to that show?

Oh my goodness that's cute! Way to go you guys!!!!! Uhm - is it just my computer screen, or are those little feathered legs? It isn't showing any of the normal chicks color or patterning for a RIR, so I don't think it could be out of your RIR hens. I see some similarity to the wheaten chick...

I have an amazing flock of birds to start with. I know this sounds snooty, but it has come with a lot of hard work and some tears. I was raised by a mother who was terrified of chickens because the birds that she grew up with on her farm were mean, so I always have the welfare of my own...
