    I LOVE "Storm Coopers"! Tell your husband that I may steal that from time to time! You really should reconsider...

    I have no idea. He said right now they get barred rocks, buff orps, WEs and I can't remember the other. He said he gets the rarer breeds in the spring. Where is your feed store?

    Thank you very much! I figured as much after some reading, but I figured I would put it to the experts for final review.

    Howdy! I live in Huntington Beach. I have had GREAT experiences both at Midway City Feed and at the feed place on Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa. If you live in the area, they are both great. I know Midway City sells chicks, I bought mine there. They get day olds in on Wednesdays at noon with 95%...

    1st Flockfor our Suburban "Ranch"

    My wife and I live in Huntington Beach, CA. We are in our mid thirties and have always had fun pretending to have a garden. Growing tomatoes from time to time and other various veggies with so/so success. We recently decided to up our suburban homesteading game. We picked up our first 3 chicks...

    Awesome!! That's what I heard! Still a couple of weeks away from getting the chicks. I will most likely go with this method.

    BROODER thread! Post pics of your brooders!

    There are some great brooders on here!! It really helps a lot for someone who is doing research before purchasing our 1st baby chicks! Has anyone used a hamster/rabbit style water bottle? I read that they can learn it super easy and it keeps the water clean all day long? I have zero experience...

    Barred Rocks!!

    Thanks for the tip! Sounds like a nice flock! I am more curious about 1 on 1 since I'll only have 2. I am not opposed to keeping 2 BRs, but variety would be nice.

    Barred Rocks!!

    I am getting my yard "ready" for 2 chickens. I am sure that I will get a barred rock hen. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with other breeds that do well with a BR? I am looking for a good egg layer and great pet who is able to deal with 90 degree weather in the summer and very mild...

    I have read and am aware not to mix a larger breed with a smaller breed if my flock is only 2 ladies. But I was wondering if I could keep 2 breeds "successfully" together if they are similar in size. Have you had any luck with this? Thanks for the info. I really like the Barred Rocks and am...

    Hey. I live in Huntington Beach and am getting set up to get my first couple of hens. I am interested in the barred rock hens. How long have you had yours? How is it doing? Any advice for someone starting out?
