    Wanted; Swedish Flower Hen x Bantam eggs for my broody Ancona

    I am in California. I would love Swedish Flower Hen eggs crossed with Bantam for my feathered girl to hatch and my daughters to help raise. Do you have some for sale or perhaps suggestions where to look?

    Is it possible for a pullet to NEVER lay an egg?

    Thank you "A chicken owner". Size could have been it. She was very petite/narrow. I took her back to the farm where I got her and there was a young boy living there now who was over the moon thrilled with having a chicken who liked to be held. Eggs were not an issue. That made me feel good. Now...

    Quietest chickens?

    My Ancona is incredibly quiet as is my EE. A peep here and there but not even an egg song out of either. They come running to me for treats and I'm in love. I want two more!!! I'm in town on a 8k lot and my neighbors had no idea I had the girls until I shared some eggs and the neighbors are...

Organic everything, yogurt and crushed shells and chared wood and DE everywhere and some Acv in the water on occasion, tons of roaming time in my safe urban backyard (all neighbors have nice dogs so we have no rodent/cat issues).

    What religion do you belong to?

    Raised with a Roman Catholic Father and an Episcopalian mother and grandmother. Love all religions that preach love and forgiveness. I currently love being Protestant Christian. My dad just says I do it because Jameson Irish Whiskey is Protestant. LOL

    Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

    Last week when my contractor was here my girls collected one blue and one white egg. He said to his worker, " they don't look like that in the store because they bleach them. Only the healthy organic ones are brown". Whoa. Watch out. Lecture from a FOUR YEAR OLD, highly anti Micky D's, Food...

    How much do adult hens eat?

    I can't tell you how much they eat as mine sometimes empty the container and just forage all day. I pay 25.95 for a 50# sack of organic layer pellets and one dollar less for the same size sack of scratch which is also organic. The same size in non organic ranges from $12-19 in my area of...
