    Modern Game Bantams

    I am in So Cal looking for some small breed of hens, Bantam, Silkie, OEG hens, etc. I can't find anything at all like these in my area. What's up with that? All I want them for are spoiled pets! If anyone here has any for sale in my area, please let me know. Thanks!

    Rescue chicken & dog, not sure of breed or sex

    Thanks guys! Yes, I am keeping them both, I think. If my other 2 roos will not pick on "Feathers". The Collie, "Sophie", goes out to the chicken pen several time a day to talk to "Feathers". It's the cutest darn thing! :)

    Broody Hen Thread!

    How long do chickens live?

    Well, I may be weird, but I freeze them in a plastic zip loc bag. Then, when my husband needs to bait a wild animal trap, we thaw it & use it as bait.

    How long do chickens live?

    RIP my 17 year old hen. She died last week. We had a very hot week in California. Even with the misters & watering down the yard, I guess it was just too hot for her.

    How long do chickens live?

    Here is my oldest white leg horn hen. She is over 17 yrs old. She looks a little "rough" & I have been thinking, (every day for the last 3 years), that she is going to die today. She is still here and happy! P.S. She still lays an egg about once a week.

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Yes! I’m glad to hear that I am not alone in using my chicken poop to fertilize my fruit trees & garden. My Son thought I was crazy for using it until he heard my neighbor yell over the fence one day, “Thanks for the chicken poop”.

    The white chick is White Leg Horn, (Mom) & Fertile Fred (pic here) is the dad. I am not sure what breed Fertile Fred is but I would like to know. He is a rescue chicken I adopted.

    I'm hoping these are old enough for you experts to tell if they are hens or roosters. Hatched out on 3/18/16.
