Anybody want to buy an instant olive egger flock? 2 wheaten marans hens, 2 welsummer hens, 1 wheaten ameraucana hen and 1 blue wheaten ameraucana rooster. All are 1 year old or just a bit less. Marans have great egg color and when crossed with the blue wheaten ameraucana rooster will create all...
I lived in Southern California my whole life up until moving here nearly 4 years ago. I worked in humane animal care field out in California.....it is definitely "done differently" here. For better or worse....its just a different culture. It would drive me insane to workin animal care here...
I can't stand the thought of chickens out in bad weather with no shelter. Or rather, any animal actually. I have a cat on my lap right now, one more in the other room and 4 (yep, 4) dogs inside the house enjoying the warmth. My chickens are all locked in their nice coops, out of the wind and...

I can do it! I'm not kosher but I won't mix it up with pig or anything. Oh and I found some Polish at a place called LC Feeds. He has some eggs in the bator right now...

Stanglover, nice meeting you today. Hope the girls do well for you!
Apparently in punishment for me selling broodies, another of my hens went broody This time its one of my bantam mottled cochin hens. Crazy chickens.....
Isn't it cute? She was a great mom. A hawk attacked her and the baby (it was a single chick hatch) and she successfully fought it off. The chick actually hatched out under a different hen, and this girl stole it and loved and adored it. she was a really good mom and I know stanglover wants a...

I have a SUPER BROODY Barred Cochin. Went broody 3 times very successfully last year. I plan on crossing her (and her sister) with my blue cochin rooster.....later this spring. I dont think either are laying right now. Super Broody just came off being broody (she was still wanting her...
Also, any of you who frequent LC feeds. I am less than 6 miles from there......so if you ever need anything from meeeeeee, aka chicks, eggs, etc. Let me know! LOL
My hens aren't laying worth beans right now. If they shape up (ha) and you want to do another batch after these, lemme know! If the olive eggers would come back in, they would be olive egger hens crossed with either 1)blue cochin rooster 2)blue brahma/cochin rooster 3)Blue Wheaten Ameracauna. I...

Heckfire, I want like 50 of them! Might have to make a run there Friday morning...
150 was a lot. WAY too many. I will hopefully not make that mistake again this year. I have 37 of my own birds I am keeping......will have a couple more hens for sale, planning on selling the Welsh Harlequin duck quad come spring time. I have 26 chicks, but 14 are roosters....so 37 birds of mine...
