wanted backyard chicken

[Guest guest]

My sister has back yard laying chickens and would like a Barred Rock breed or a

unique colored egg-layer like that to add to her mix. She can't place order for

just one. If any has an extra one that they don't mind parting with to a good

home, please contact me off-list. She is in the northern Mpls suburbs but will

travel.

Thanks!

Depending on how many chickens she has, how old they are, and some other info

you probably wouldn't want to add any more. I have raised backyard birds for a

few years (don't anymore) and chickens become downright evil when new birds are

added to the flock, especially young ones. They will fight and might never

fully integrate into the flock. I had 4 or 5 adults and got some new babies one

year (once they feathered out), when I put the young ones in they pecked one of

them halfway to death. (they had plenty of room, healthy etc.) and when they

finally found their place in the pecking order, the 'new' flock slept on the

henhouse roof, they were never welcome inside to sleep. they only went in to lay

then left the nest boxes. if she ads more, be prepared to supervise and

separate. it's just sad to see your babies become henpecked!

if she's dead set on it...A friend of mine just got some birds, pretty young.

she got 4 different breeds, in singles. anoka farm 763 421 0223, 7435 hwy 10 w

& all,

Whenever you add an animal, move animals, change things around, change your

animals' schedules, etc., use both Bach Rescue Remedy and Bach Walnut

flower essences in their water. Put four drops in the water pail or pan. Or

put four drops in a plant mister bottle and spray the air, the animals'

faces and backsides (the mucus membranes absorb the flower essences really

well).

This treatment should help the critters adjust to the changes nicely.

Blessings,

beth
