Welcome!!! What breeds do you have?

Hi, Thanks! Buff orphingtons, light brahmas, and silkies.

Fun! We have a Barred Rock, a Speckeled Sussex, and two mixes that I am thinking are both roos Plus a really sweet young turkey.

Hello again,

how is everyone's chickens doing?

Hi! I’m new and thought I’d holler at y’all from Lompoc. I have 4 cluckins whom have been in my care for only 1.5 months!

Hello I have 7 hens. 1 salmon faverolle I have had for four years now. 4 buff orpingtons that are 2 years old, and 2 easter eggers that are 10 months. In North County

So, I’m juuuuust finding this thread . If everyone is still in their same location, I’m on the Mesa in Arroyo Grande. Glad to find more local chicken people here (even if I’m super late!).

Oh boy ... I’ve got:
2 Rhode Island Reds (Hattie and Eloise)
2 Buff Orpingtons (Gretchen and Gerard)
2 Silver Laced Wyandottes (Agatha and Maisie)
2 Silver Laced Polish (Sylvia and Dinah)
2 Barred Rocks (Alice and Junie)
2 Olive Eggers - Cream Legbar/Cuckoo Marans crosses (Zinnia and Eddie)
3 Easter Eggers (Beatrix, Viola, Holly)
1 Buckeye (CiCi)
1 American Game Hen (Larke)
1 Serama/Leghorn bantam cross (Rori)
7 American Game/Bantam crosses (Poe, Dahlia, Tansy, Frodo, Samwise, Meriadoc, Pippin)
1 Guinea Fowl (Vic Vic)

I know. It’s a zoo . The vast majority of my girls are in the main coop/run with Rori the itty bitty roo (his size makes him the safest option for some of my smaller girls in there). Eddie and Gerard are in their own enclosures within the coop/run. Poe, Dahlia, and Tansy are also in an add on. Vic Vic has his own space, too (because despite being a sweetie, his Guinea behavior is not appreciated by the chickens (but his space is connected to theirs so he’s not alone)). The Hobbits (remaining bantam cross roo brothers) are in a bachelor pad on my family’s property across the street. They get along remarkably well (knock on wood). If I had an endless supply of money, I’m sure I’d have an endless supply of chickens .
