Jeremy; I haven't had time to actually watch the blue boy (until I actually settle on a name for him; may wait till he's fully mature) and his new ladies, so I don't know how they're getting along, exactly. However, I will be putting the first eggs from their stall unto the incubator sometime...
I will get a picture of these birds posted as soon as I can. Approximately 9 months old. Her first eggs are due to hatch in the next couple of days. They are so beautiful, I hate to part with them, but I'm raising LF, and got them for setting, but then purchased my incubator. She is very quiet...
I need an Australorp (fertile) cockerel/cock. Can any of you tell me where I might find one? The person from whom I purchased my hens doesn't have any available; his birds are huge, and he sells them quickly. I didn't need the roo when I bought the hens. But then Buford died. Thanks for the help.
I'm still learning how to navigate BYC, and just found all your replies. Thank you for the warm welcome. Today I drove from Denair to Sacramento, then Auburn, then Oakland. Yes, I saw much of beautiful CA today! I bought 4 Welsummer hens (not through BYC, though), a Welsummer cockerel, blue...
Thank you to all my new BYC friends! I just bought a Welsummer cockerel from Kelly, and a blue orpington cockerel and black Orpington pullet from Jeremy. Thanks! I'm also waiting for the weather to allow me to get my GLWs from Carrie. I've been looking for Frank Reese Barred Rocks, too. Thanks...
I am looking for an adult (fertile age) large fowl Barred Rock trio. I am looking for something from show quality lines, in case I decide I want to show later, but am more concerned about size and egg production. Any suggestions?

dldolan; I didn't know it worked on parasites; I haven't looked into that aspect. I thought parasites were too small. But I've heard it's great for worms, in all animals. I know it doesn't work for bacteria and viruses, but wouldn't that be nice?! But I haven't seen anything since I started...
For worming and ALL insect problems, I use diatomaceous earth. It's available at feed stores; be sure to get food grade. It's safe for human consumption (good detoxifier), good for worming animals, and controls fleas, lice, ticks, mites, bed bugs, and garden insects. It's completely organic...
I am in the Turlock/Modesto area and am looking for a Barred Rock breeding trio. I also need a Black Australorp rooster. I have hens from two lines, but neither have rooster at this point. My girls come from big birds (one is a breeder in Pine Grove; I wouldn't be a bit surprised if his roosters...

Hello all
My family and friends are getting a little weary of hearing the latest story from my chicken coop; could this be a place where I can talk about my "girls" and NOT be called a "birdbrain"?!
