Hey there, sorry to hear about your accident. Happy for you though that you will have a chance to enjoy your clucks again! I know a gal in Norco who has Seramas, I believe she may have some available now. If not, I'm sure she knows someone who does. Her name is Tracey McCarthy. She is on...
Excellent post...thank you for the info...book marking as I am prepping for a project. I recently lost my most special rooster, who was my daughter's keeper as well as looking after and raising my growing chicks as the hens were done with them. He was really one of a kind. I had a necropsy...
Interesting! I'm curious about how large of a pond this sort of system would create, or require. I imagine everyone's household would be slightly different, but approx what size are you expecting to make? Hot tub size, pool size?
I have a similar set up. I have a 5 stall L shaped box stall barn, hubby uses two for storage and such, I use 1 as a feed and tack room for both the chickens and the horses, and I have 2 stalls for my chickens, although my horse is sleeping in one at night right now. Most of my chickens are in...
@Mutt Farm Send me a PM, I would love to have you over to chat chickens! You have picked great breeds for friendliness and good looks...I think you will be very happy, especially when they start laying! They are almost there!

Hi sol2go, thank you! She is a lovely hen, but I am still working to get more consistent hackle color and combs on my hens, and of course, darker eggs. My hens generally lay in the range of 5-6 on the scale, with the occasional 7-8 (Yay!). In this heat, they tend to lighten up a bit, but I'm...
Hi, I happen to have both, and I am in Norco! I breed Marans...both blue and black. I have a couple clutches going at the moment, expecting chicks to hatch the 26th and 30th of July. I should have some chicks available from these two hatches. Some are already sold and spoken for, but I should...
This is Bruce, standing up really tall. These are not his ladies...these are some of my French copper Marans out for the afternoon. Bruce watches whoever is out while they are out.
