    I have family in Antioch! My cousin & his wife are looking for local person eggs to buy eggs from. Any interest? Or anyone else in the area interested? I'm in the Reno, NV area so that doesn't work.

    Nevadans?

I would welcome the chance to meet and talk about dos and don'ts regarding chickens. I have a hard time with reading material online for extending periods...

    Who would you recommend since you don't recommend MPC? I don't know people in my area and there does not seem to be a local thread on the buy/sell/trade forum that I can find.

    Congratulations! Question for you though....what does BCM stand for? I'm still getting the hang of acronyms. Oh, and which one did she lay?

    Nice to meet you neighbor! What age are your chickens? How long have you been raising chickens? Any advice/tips/tricks for the Sun Valley area? This is my first experience with raising chickens.

    rooster or hen?

    okay, so it WAS because of the comb getting redder that helped determine so quickly that these were male, yes? My husband looked at the pics too and said: ROOSTERS! right off the bat. I asked him why he thought so, and it was the combs as well for him. I guess i have just never noticed enough...

    @mommy2me Hi! You're not too far away from me. It's nice to see a fairly new person posting along with me too! Are you raising for eggs or for meat too? I'm at this point, just for the eggs. But if any of mine end up being male, they'll go out to friends or family for meat. Quote:

    Greetings from Sun Valley, NV! I've been a member of BYC for a while, but have only been getting educated and FINALLY got my batch of chicks at the first of this month. I did have a handful or so back in 2012 but got told our lot wasn't large enough. Turns out, it was fine! Looking forward to...

    Moving the Chicks?

    We have a coop and run that we just set up 3 nights ago. The run isn't attached yet due to a ground leveling issue; however, it was nice enough that I took out 8 chicks outside and let them experience the coop and run. They Tuckered out after an hour and sat themselves on the roosts. They will...
