Morning everyone! I will be on my way to Alexandria in a couple of hours to pick up my PEAS!!!!!!! Hooray! If she doesn't beat me to it, I will be posting pictures of my new babies this evening. Now...to pray they're a pair!
We went fishing yesterday at the mennonite ponds. We caught 17 catfish -- they cleaned up to make 15 filleted meals total for our family. I love a day of fishing. It doesn't get much better. Seeing my own kids and everyone else's reeling in those fighters, hollering, and flashing beaming smiles when they get it on the bank just makes me joyful. Priceless.
I have two younger birds -- 3 months or so that appear to have a vitamin deficiency. I know it isn't genetics as they are different breeds -- swedish flower and blue laced red wyandotte. Their toes are curling. I have added the save a chick electrolytes to the water, but do you think I should mix in another type of vitamin? I have never experienced this with our chickens so I'd appreciate the advice on this one.
Since it is too hot for me to ship birds anywhere and we have been so busy this summer that I haven't made any of the poultry swaps, I have lots of birds for sale. Please let me know if you are interested in anything and I will make a better deal for you being from this forum than I would normally sell and ship them for.
2 partridge cochin bantam cockerels - 6 months
1 pair of cuckoo olive egger bantams - the cockerel is lavender cuckoo, pullet is black cuckoo she lays a little sage colored egg
4-6 show quality RIR chicks
4 black wyandottes chicks carrying gold laced genes
1 gold laced orpington pullet
2 silkie/showgirl cockerels - the showgirl (RuePaul) cockerel is the man of our pen and the silkie cockerel is a confetti paint - white with black and buff paint
pair of mille fleur d'uccles - 2 months
gold neck d'uccles show lined - I can make a quad here or do one cockerel with up to 6 girls.
1 lavender orpington chick - 3 weeks and looks to be a cockerel
lemon cuckoo orpingtons - I have 5 birds total, so I could do all 5 (includes a trio that is 3 months and a pair that is 5 months) or a pair of the three month olds
I also have a male hedgehog and my husband's ball python for sale. The terrarium for the python is 4 ft x 16 in and is wood framed with 4 locks -- I assure you that boy isn't coming out of there on his own! I will be in Alexandria today if I need to deliver if you let me know in the next hour or so or can meet in Leesville anytime this week for anyone closer.
