I recently took the CBEST, which is a test that you need in order to become a substitute teacher in California. I do have a four year degree. I think I did fairly well on the test since I took 3 practice tests and I read a prep book front to back. Now, if and when I do pass and I finally get...

Unfortunately I have to sell my flock of six pullets. I would prefer someone to buy ALL of them together because I don't want to look for different buyers. I have: 1 Blue Copper Marans (Bev Davis line, 28 weeks old, already laying, fully feathered feet and nice dark brown/mahogany eggs) 3 True...

I have a 25 week old pullet that chipped her beak (maybe a millimeter to 1.5mm) yesterday. She seems to eat fine and only because I give her wet crumbles. How long should it take for her beak to grow back? I don't think there was any blood (I was barely home yesterday during the day). I had...

After losing a couple of my favorite chickens, I decided that I really should try saying "Goodnight" to my chickens if I am able to see them before dark settles entirely. That's probably because I lost a couple of my chickens overnight, and I'd find them on the ground dead the next morning. Once...

Hi all you BYCers, I figured I should find some website reviews or info about where to buy silver before I go and actually do it. I hope to get some input, advice, etc. Thanks.

Has anyone ever heard of a "Beijing Fatty"? Here's a pic, courtesy of china.makepolo.com: It is native to North China and I think would be an interesting breed to research.

I consider myself partially employed. I work for the city right next to ours, and it is not a glamorous or high-paying job. I take what I can get, given the unemployment rate, but I work maximum 20 hours per week, with most weeks being only 10 hours. I graduated from a private university in the...

Scratch is becoming a big, mighty pullet. She's only 5 1/2 months old and ready to lay, and most times of the day now she's pretty ornery. As I approach their coop/run, I can hear Scratch screaming her head off. I think she's ticked off that I'm always adding more chicks to the flock, and she...

Today was a lazy day for my chickens. It was in the 90s so they just lay around like dogs in the summer sun. This afternoon I went out to go see and feed them. I noticed there was a hole in the ground in their run. I know that there are mice in the backyard, since my dogs have been "mousing"...

My boyfriend and I are seriously thinking about purchasing land in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan once we have enough money to do so. His dad has offered to pay for half the land, and when he passes away, he will give the land to my boyfriend. The problem is now deciding what kind of land to...

...but I have to admit, it's really funny!! I'm glad they were ok at the end, though!

I have a pure white Ameraucana roo that is 5-6 weeks old that needs a good home. He came from a local breeder. I also have another rooster, an Easter Egger, that came from Red Wing Hatchery, about 8 weeks old. Both need good homes, but I'd like to see them go together. Please PM me if you'd like...

I have disliked banks for a very long time, but the bank that I dislike the most is Chase. My parents bought a house a few years ago and now wanted to modify their loan so that it would be lower (since the assessed value of the home has gone down). Anyway, their loan modifying agent told them...

...looking at all my student loans. I have one piece of paper that tells me I've got to repay Uncle Sam a little more than $22,000. Sigh. I only have a summer part time job that'll only last a few months, so hopefully after that I will get even more experience (since it is working for the city...

This Easter Egger is about 8 weeks old, but she's had something wrong with her beak since she was a few weeks old. Her lower beak seems to have not developed correctly and is moved slightly to her right, and her upper beak is curved down way too much. There also appears to be some "growth"...

Hello to everyone from Lancaster, CA!! I've been around chickens much of my life but just bought 8 of my own in the past couple of days - 4 red sex link and 4 Easter Egger chicks, all one week old. I'm glad to have found a website with many like-minded people!
