California - Northern - Page 251

Pretty excited to have been led to this board! I am in Napa, (northern California). I only have one other friend who is raising chickens and she is about an hour away. Very excited to get opinions from others in California as I am a complete newbie to chicken raising love. I have a very mixed flock.

Ready for a million pictures?

Here is Frankie monster (my sons version of Frankenstein.

This is Lady Gaga

Meet Turkey

Here is Umbrella

Next we have Red she is all the way on the left

then my lady of mystery Baby

Now for the boys. Oreo who has a very important date with the freezer due to his foul attitude

This is the lover of all the chickens. This guy has been attacked by the dog twice, a coyote once and is now blind in one eye but still comes when called and is a cuddle bug like not other. I swear he is part cat. Peanut Butter

Need to have any chickens processed??

I will likely process the birds I have anyway even if I have to pay the $5 per bird, but I'd love to bring the cost down.  I just don't have time and space to do it and I don't want to move them to my new property since they were exposed to ILT. The roos are crowing and I can't have them here... So, I'll be processing on Thurs or Friday.  If anyone wants to get in on it, it would only be $2.75 per bird if you have 7 birds.  If you have less just add 10 and divide into 50 to get your price per bird.  legit chicken math there.  :-) Send me a PM if interested and willing to meet me in Sac with your chickens on Thurs or Friday.  Thanks all and hope I find someone with roos or chickens destined for freezer camp!! :-)

I think Debi is Petrock?

We are all here to help support each other with the chicken addiction . Egg color is very fun. I love all of the colors.

Next on my list is Purple. Wolftracks from Modesto is working on chickens that lay purple eggs. I saw a picture of one that looked to be the color of a plum.

Cheryl- I'm so sorry for your health issues. <3 I hope your posting means you are feeling better. 

Pam- Debi from Red Bluff? Or the Debi in this thread? How awesome that she hatched some eggs for her friend though! 

I've been thinking that I'd love to have a few blue egg laying pullets- I don't feel like that would mess with me keeping my Marans pure because Marans lay dark brown eggs so it would be easy to keep track of what was purebred and what were my Easter Eggers correct? I mean when a BC Marans hatches- they are unmistakeable in appearance. And with keeping just one breed of Roo I would ensure that I would have some EEs and that I still have some straight bred BCM right? 

I would REALLY love to have green eggs. Thanks to BYC for planting the egg color virus in my brain. :P I don't want other colors really but I would love to have light brown, dark brown and olive eggs.

There are 2 of us Debi's on here now.  Sometimes I'm confused when I read about the other Debi.    I just have a backyard flock with no rooster so no fertile eggs.  I do help out at Cheryl's ranch and have done some hatching for her.

Thanks but unfortunately no, I'm having to cut back on my hatching, it's just too much for me until the doctors get this all figured out. It's been over 5 months and still in horrible pain 

I'm doing quite a bit of flock reduction and new pullets as well if anyone is interested.
