@harmonymw You Sure about the Koi ?? lol

How many hens do you have now? What are the Laws for Framingham.

So it's $100 for all. the Straw I used for the run in the Winter so they had something to scratch. I think there are 6 bales let. you don't have to take them if you don't want, but they make good wind blockers too.

If you all want to come over and meet them first I am ok with that.

Hey, we have room for the hens. Holy moly that’s a lot of equipment! I’m in Framingham. I’m not even going to tell my wife about the koi because she’s been begging for years.

Tell her! Or I will!

Tell her! Or I will!

 

[tigger19687]

hahahah !
So I guess you won't being her over to see the Hens or she will see the fish

 

[thumper650]

Ok I won't but if you need help moving it I will do that.

Also if you know anyone that is interested in keeping Koi, I am also thinking of selling my set up with 1 Foot+ Koi Bartholomew and 2 Goldfish (about 6-8 inches?) Raja & Kissy Face. They all are 4 years old.
The gold fish were 1/2 inch feeder fish when we got them to 'save ' them.

But with moving and losing 4 other smaller Koi to the F-in neighbors cat, I just think it is better to find a home before I do Spring clean up.

$100 for Hard Pond (originally $3,000 the THICK fiberglass kind not the crappy Home depot crap they used to sell) 7'x10'x 2.5' deep, pump, filter box and hoses, used Matala filter media and extra large 2 full sheets of Matala never used.
Also a pond heater for Winter 250w floating. keeps pond clear of ice but I also cover with wood for the Winter

I would prefer someone that already knows about keep Koi or outdoor fish.

How much do you want for just
The koi? We already have a pond and all equipment

 

[tigger19687]

Hi, thanks I think I don't' want to split them up. But thank you.

I think I am going to rescind the offer on the Koi/Goldies. I need to think about them a bit more

If you're interested in sexed bantam pullet chicks, you could try MPC or this from Cackle

Sorry for your weasel losses. We lost a dozen LF hens to coyotes or fox last week, so we feel your pain.

Good morning Mass chicken lovers. I'm trying to determine why my rooster crows at 4 am every morning. It's too early for daybreak, at least right now and I was thinking that it could be a routine predator passing near the coop. Any thoughts? I know we have a Fisher in the neighborhood, so perhaps he slithers by every night.
