South mountain auction

Anyone know the latest contact info? Can anyone still sell if you pay the fee? I can't seem to find anything online.

I may bring a few lionheads, some mixed banty chicks. Maybe hatching eggs but the Cochins are seniors so a bit slow filling up the egg cartons lol. A few bantam hens maybe.

Chicken little (has the word sh*t)

Sandy an eight year old boy told me that chicken little joke, it's one of those moments where you are really trying hard not to laugh, but the little brat knew he got me. XD

Just wondering about breeding for meat.

OC, made me rethink this thought, it's not worth all the time and effort, I would have to start keeping other breeds, extra pens etc and there are enough mixed chicks in the world. Our contribution to the poultry hobby is we are key to keeping the rare breeds going. Every now and again, one of our b...

Rhode Island Red - Non Industrial

Oooooooh ya, that's it, so beautiful!!!! Lol. I didn't know you could have barring? I honestly can't remember what the chicks looked like, I think mine were all reddish orange and not chipmunk. I had a hard time selling chicks and gave up when work was taking up all my days. I really regret doing th...

peppers

What is the "secret", what is the secret!!!!!!! Lol!!!! I love love love peppers but can't seem to grow them. Last year I had so many I was giving them away but I have no clue why, I didn't do anything different lol. Usually I don't get any until late fall and the frost comes.

New Hampshires

Lol, I know what you mean. It doesn't help when people sell sex links at buy_sell_trades as "pure RIR". One lady was wagging her finger at me, giving me a lecture on the breed, but her purebred roosters were white with red wings, like all male sex links.

Just wondering about breeding for meat.

OC, just a thought that was itching in my little head, since I already have the Cochins and I liked the carcass shape, as opposed to say my Barred Rocks who have this long body and were awkward to deal with. I see a lot of Chantecler around and they bring a good price, I think they are a favorite wi...

New Hampshires

Have you noticed that when real rir chickens step into the shade, they look black. I am always puzzled for a second when people ask me if I still raise "those beautiful black chickens" then I understand what they mean. Or when people see them for the first time, they always say, "those arn't Rhode i...

New Hampshires

No thegawd, you didn't understand my question, I raised show RIRs so I already know what everyone looks like. I am wondering what prompted the new breed. Maybe you guys didn't know but New Hampshires were bred from pure RIRs with nothing else added in. So genetically they are almost the same breed. ...

I smell a scam!

Maybe I should cash in on chicken scams as well. Hmmmm, lets see, oh I got it! How's this??? Chicks for $5, special organic heritage breed passed down from generation to generation. Can be processed right after hatching, once chick dries off from coming out of the egg, it immediately bulks up to ten...
