I live in the Central Valley and we have triple digits frequently. I give my buff orpingtons refrigerated fruit around 3:00pm. They didn't like frozen fruit it was too cold for them. I also gently hose them down including the run. I try to wet them down before they start showing signs of heat...

I used to love McMurray, but I am now questioning their breeding stock. I purchased Buff Orpingtons from them last July. I have lost a few hens to FLHS and cancer within the last month. If you do happen to lose any hens make sure you get a necropsy done so you know why they died. In California...

I posted him everywhere. I created a flyer and put it up on TSC. I joined 15+ chicken groups on Facebook and posted him there. I had him on Craigslist in the pets and farm & garden section in different cities. I offered to deliver him to the right home. I posted updated pictures. I was...

Wow! They must have been protected well or maybe grown hydroponically. Our tomatoes started to die mid November. We are in Modesto.

Waddles has found a new home. :) On a side note it is strange that there is no option to delete the thread.

I found him a home on a little ranch near me. :)

Here are better side profile pictures. He is so curious that its hard to take pictures of him not all stretched out lol

Anyone near Modesto looking for a Buff Orpington rooster? I have one that is 17 weeks old. He is very friendly with the other hens and towards people. I don't want him ending up as stew. He has been vaccinated by McMurray hatchery against Marek's and Coccidiosis. He is used to eating Modesto...

Thank you for your input. Is it the feather pattern that makes you think roo or the large comb? Sigh....anyone near Modesto, California need a roo? He is tame and friendly. I ordered a pullet run from McMurray Hatchery. It has been vaccinated against Marek's and Coccidiosis.

Hello everyone, I need some help confirming my suspicions that I may have a Buff Orpington rooster. They are almost 17 weeks old. The chicken in question has not made any crowing attempts and instead I have heard egg laying like songs from it. They are not laying yet. Here are some pictures...

From what I have read so far...I don't think the 22% protien is necessarily a bad thing for growing hens. My chicks are now 6 weeks old and extremely healthy (not fat). The other local farmers use Modesto Milling for all their chickens and have been very pleased. I think if people were to...

Glad I could help...Good Luck with your ranch!

We buy our organic feed locally at Modesto Milling (Central Valley California). Their feed seems to be pretty good quality compared to what the other feed stores sell around here. We pay $22.25 for 50 lb bag of Ceritified Organic Chick Starter & Grower Crumbles (22% protein). We will be buying...
