<---SHE LIVES! So ... I haven't posted here recently. I would like some help though. My mother really likes the Phoenix roosters, and she was going to get one through a friend who knew someone who was trying to rehome one . . . but the roo got out of it's pen and never returned. So now, I'm...

Agreed! Avidly awaiting photos!

Getting started is always hard. On one hand I looked around and saw all the really nice, hand-built incubators and just salivated for a while. Then I turned around and bought a nice cheap foam incubator with egg turner for 80$. It all works the same, really. The digital ones are only nice...

LOL. Been here for a while, just didn't have much to say. I have a small flock, some Barred rock hens, a few mixed breed half-bantams and a trio of BLRW bantams. ....Oh, and my mom's Pekin ducks...... But I'm looking for bigger birds for eating, and while Jerseys' grow slower, I feel that...

My family mostly says that No. Cal. is everything north of Sacramento. Central is everything thing between Sac and Bakerfield and Southern is everything south of Bakers1field That makes it pretty simple to keep track of. That's my two bits on the subject. On another note, does anyone who...

I think I figure out how to get the black-laced blue ... start with a Blue Andalusian or a Blue Orp and cross it with a Silver-laced Wyandotte. Then in the offspring find a blue roo and a blue hen and cross them, that will get you a possibility of a white chicken, a black-laced blue, and a...

....not sure I should do this ... but here, try to imagine what THIS chicken would look like in real life: kippenjungle.nl/kipkiezer_bestanden/Mblauwuitgebreidgezoomd.JPG And now I shall leave before the obessed-and-fighting-it come for me with pitchforks!

ROFL! You're a riot. A side note ... somehow I also managed to create a black-laced Blue chicken as well!

But I don't even know where to start!!!!! Here is calc, see for yourself. kippenjungle.nl/kruising.html

...Ok, I need to stop looking at things..... Found a genetics calculator for chickens .... And now I'm wondering what it would take to create a Mille Fleur patterned Black chicken ....

LOL. yeah, I know what you mean. I'm getting a nice mix of breeds, mostly for laying, but I've chosen all dual-purpose breeds so I'll be using my extra roos for meat I've looked at chicks Greenfire farms has and WOHOOO! They sure have some pretty chickens! If I were to buy some of their...

$399????? who would pay so much for ONE chick?! .... No, forget that, who has THAT kind of money to waste on something like this these days? I sure don't! Well, at least I've got some interesting news. We've decided that we'll get more than just the 36 chickens I was promised if we can...

I ... am doing little happy dance! My last two chickens have been saved from the cooking pot! We're moving back to Dunsmuir for the winter and I have no place to keep my chickens down there, so I was expecting to have to butcher them in a week or two. My cousin came up a few days ago and said...

Hahahah! Wow. You must have A LOT of chickens. Way more than I plan to have. 37, 6 each of RIR, Speckled Sussex, Dark Brahma, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Silver Penciled Rocks, Jersey Giants, and 1 Phoenix rooster.. Someday I want to have some Cucloo Marans too.

*Looks at PapaBrooder's sig. Gapes in astonishment.* What on earth are all those? I only recognize a third of them!

OW. Wow, that sucks royally. I feel your pain. I lost 18 pullets and 2 turkeys to a bear this year. Didn't hear a blasted thing.

LOL. I'm 30 and there are still times that I get carded!!! I'm short and stout, and have at times passed for the younger sister of my younger sisters ..... and they're ten years younger than me!

LOL. I'm looking at all these strange chicken breed names in everyone's signatures and discussions, and am wondering slightly if I missed out on something when I decided to go with hatchery-available, well-known breeds.

Maybe in 2014. the only chickens I have right now are a EE and a bantam roo, both of which I'm giving away when we move back down to Dunsmuir. I hope that I may be able to get a few hens for down there, but currently I don't have any place to keep them, so that's a hindrance. Also, I know...

Wow. Sounds nice. I don't know much about how the Siskiyou Golden Fair runs it's shows, but from what I've read in the rules handbook, the small animal shows are restricted to kids, 19 and under. Which kind of sucks. I'd like to show chickens, but I'm 30, so I'm well over the age limit. I...
