A friend of mine is looking for chickens. Her friend has a flock, but apparently "The hens need canes and the roo is ready for bifocals". I think she is looking for young, but not brooder ages birds. Don't think they are picky about breed, but need layers of some sort. They are in Loveland. Let...
10k, since I only have 7 ducks, custom feed is not something I can do. I did call a feed mill about blending some and they want you to order 1 ton at a time :P
I am relying on bagged feed from Big R (meat/game bird blend) and supplementing with anything I can grow in the garden, minnows from...
Thanks for the pic Melissa
Still looking for a Welsh Harlequin drake not related to Tweak since I have 1 of his daughters (Melissa, Dawn is one of Tweak's kids).
Barring that, anyone want to go in on a Holdereads duckling order? Their minimum is 10.
The ducks I offered a few pages back now have a home with MrsE.

NO STRAW FOR YOU!!!
Apparently all the straw that used to be delivered to the Big R is now going to farmers in Texas I can get pine shavings, but they don't go nearly as far and cost more. Anyone else not able to get straw now??
Dropping off 4 of my duck hens in a little while. Thanks Allen & Chandra!
Still have 2 more girls that need a new home if anyone is interested. These are a 3 year old gold Welsh Harlequin (Wendy) and a 2 year old silver Welsh Harlequin (Abby). Wendy is going because I want to concentrate on...
Upcoming swaps anyone??? I need to cut down the flock before winter and nobody seems to be biting on craigslist. I can always process, but butchering duck hens seems like such a waste to me.
