Doesn’t matter if they’re silver, gold, buff, as long as they’re full sebright. Will take a few especially if multiple colors. Will make a considerable drive for them, as I’ve done before. (Reading this years down the road? Probably still interested. lol)

Hi BYC community! I joined in June 2022 but have stalked for years lol I don’t know why I didn’t jump into chickens years ago!? I love them! They are better than dogs and cats and any other pet. I guess we were waiting for more backyard space which we got when we moved to Alta Loma! I’m so...

First time chicken owner here. I just released my 4-week old pullets into their coop and now am paranoid that a predictor will take them. I live in Southern California and we have a problem with coyotes and an occasional bobcat. Any thoughts on this?

Two mallard eggs were orphaned when the mother died... I rescued them, incubated them, and hatched them. They have imprinted on me. They are currently 3 weeks old. I found out that even though they have never been in the wild since they were hatched here, they are still considered wild. So I...
