I got two new pullets this month and they are adorable. One is a French Black Copper Maran and her name is Edith Piaf after the French singer, and the other is an Olive Egger and her name is Olive.

Yes. Tons. We are in Northern California and we've had three storms and more coming. The chickens are fine. They hang out in a large coop with a big door open that they can see out. Their yard is a mess, though.

Not sure where you live, but I shop at Peninsula Feed Store in Redwood City. They specialize in chicken supplies, plus they sell chicks and pullets.

Hi Jeremy: I'm in Palo Alto and have been keeping chickens for about 20 years. We are allowed six in the suburbs, but I have had as many as 12 as the Palo Alto Animal Services knows I have a very big chicken yard, have room, and they know I'm a really good chicken mama. So, when they have a...

Hi chickiesmommy: Yes. I am interested in two. Are they full size? So the next question is where are you located? Thanks

Hi chickiesmommy: I'm following up on our discussion last month and also to check to see if you received a "chat" post to you. If you recall I'm the person interested in two of your Araucana chickens. Or some breed like it. I need to be sure they are hens and not roosters. You were going...

They are adorable!!!! The coop is made in Maine by a husband and wife team they call Wooden Wonders. www.wooden.wonders.com I bought it when I rebuilt the chicken yard as it was not as secure as I liked. I tore down the old one to the studs and had it rebuilt on all sides with hardware cloth...

Hi Chickensmommy: This is interesting timing. I was just thinking of getting two more girls to round out to six. So, I live in Palo Alto and have four adorable hens: Two Black Marans, one Plymouth Barred Rock and one Ameraucana. A good part of the day they live in a large, fully fenced yard...

Hi Amirah: Welcome. I live in Palo Alto, however there is a Pet Club next to my Costco in Mountain View. They have good and reasonably priced Laying Crumbles, Pellets and Scratch.

I'm reluctant to interfere with nature. I make sure there are no eggs to sit on. Sometimes my broody will find the eggs the others have laid and sit on them. I collect them every day. I don't care if she gets angry. In addition, I push her out of the coop and she runs around, making noise...

Hi Sunnyvale Dad. Check the department of Animal Control for your city. I'm sure they do as almost all of the communities on the Peninsula allow a certain number of hens. I live in Palo Alto. The official limit is 6 although at times I've had nine. The person who inspects my set up...

Wow---great lesson here. Thanks for the info. Will keep this in mind. Excellent method.

I used to have a neighborhood cat come into my chicken yard and hang out. She never bothered the chickens and the chickens ignored her. The cat eventually moved away. Then a new guy (cat) moved into the neighborhood. Got up close and personal to the wire. One of my more curious girls went...

I have several Oleander bushes in my chicken yard for 15 years and they ignore it. No problem. They won't eat something they don't like.

Hi Cheryl: Sounds like you are in a transition from something. Sorry you had to make a hard decision, but it sounds as though life will be easier now. Best of luck on unloading all your equipment. Craigslist has always worked well for me. Geri

These are really nice pics. Your daughter is adorable. Thanks for sharing and congrats!

Aaawwww. That is sweet. Thanks. Truly, this board means so much to me. I've learned a ton from the folks here. And, here again, they have come through. Thanks for your good words. Geri

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU BackYardChickens.com and Forum This is the second time you have come to my rescue. Several years ago I got a baby chick that turned out to be a rooster. Basically Zoe became Zorro. One of the board members who had moved or Oregon and had a farm adopted Zorro...

]Found chicken-needs home. I folks. Friends found this chicken wandering around Arastadero and El Camino Real in Palo Alto. They brought her to me as they didn't know what to do with her and would not just walk away from a potentially and probably terrible situation with this poor little thing...
