Hi I am Laura (lazlo8) and I am on the verge of becoming a true chicken lady. I am in Los Angeles, CA.
I have been thru four hatches under broodies, and one that I had to take over the eggs at Day 16 (coyote attack killed my broody) and I have 10 Golden Comets 17 weeks old, one easter egger rooster, a copper maran and an autralorp. Two that lay eggs so far, waiting on the golden comets to start laying. Everyone in the flock is young and the new run and house are safe against all predators. (Unless a bear shows up) Built on an old cement pad.
I just got a Pycheon hen ... on free craigslist. She is in a separate section. I would like to find her a mate. Making enquires everywhere. So far no luck. But I am relentless. I want to get a few bantams to keep her comapny while I wait. But I know nothing about who a pycheon might like. She is an amazing bird.
Merry Christmas.
I need advice.

You've got yourself quite a crew. Perhaps you can train them for your very own Rockets. You could call them Chicklets! I joined in August 2024 and am only just now getting more acquainted with the BYC website. Hopefully, you will find it fun and helpful as needed. Merry Christmas to you, too.Hi I am Laura (lazlo8) and I am on the verge of becoming a true chicken lady. I am in Los Angeles, CA.
