Still available! I'll message you

Yep, very available! Tuesday and Saturday shipping :)

These are my smaller barnyard mutts, heavy on the Olandsk Dwarf, bantam Barred Rock, and bantam Cochin blood. Sweet dispositions and easy to handle. Easy to hatch, they typically pip and zip with little fuss. Perfect for an urban homestead, these will lay a nice sized egg - two of these bantam...

Last year I hatched out entirely too many Poofybottoms. Please consider saving me from the mountains of perfect, glossy, creamy tan eggs. Eggs will be coming from my pen of Bantam Cochin/Bantam Barred Rock ladies covered by a Bantam Cornish/Olandsk Dwarf rooster. If you'd like, I can also add...

No problem :) We will be offering them all year!

Here is another picture of him, and if you look at the top, third picture is some of his chicks that hatched last week.

Mr. Guapo has been working hard all winter to woo his ladyfriends. He listens carefully to their concerns, finds them the nicest pieces of scratch, and dances for all of them even when they aren't interested in his shenanigans. He never gets mad unless that jerk Redtailed Hawk flies overhead...

Vacation is over, it's stinky brooder time. We have been having a ridiculous amount of rain here in Southern California which means chicks in the dining nook. Normally I am strict on keeping the chicks/chickens outside but with all the wind and rain it's just too much for those little guys. My...

Put me on the interest list for eggs next year!!!

I second pressure cooking, makes the meat really tender. I had my NN rooster running with the girls last month in my old pens but wasn't sure if he was doing the job, Guess he's doing just fine!

The Ideal NN cockerels were a really mixed bag. There was one extremely tiny dwarf one shaped like a grapefruit I was tempted to keep but I had to keep focused, this was for a meaties project! Some really scrawny thin ones too. The good thing is they were cheap and the culls make for some...

He's from Ideal Poultry. Bought twenty, culled down to two earlier this year, I kept this one because I like his almost laced/spangled feathers :) I'm going to see how the kids turn out from this cross and hopefully I can just work with picking the meatiest ones. I'm always tempted to cheat...

Our breeding pens are finally done and I moved in this big guy and his Bresse/Trader Joes girlfriends in with him. The problem is he turned out way more giant than I thought he was going to be, all the girls come up to his shoulders!

I hope this guy's wattles stay small!
