    Grandpa Feeder help!

    I love love this feeder, although my chickens love to stand on it and poop on the cover where you put the food in. There's poop that collects in the lip above the opening and I'm thinking it falls in when it is opened. I'm having to clean it every few days. Is there something I can put on...

    These girls area great white egg layers on the smaller size for eggs. Quite consistent layers. They are more noisy than my other chickens. If I don't throw chicken scratch into their coop they will roost in the trees above their coop. Not too safe as I do have predators around.

    Anyone interested in 2 Ancona chickens? They lay white eggs and are great layers. I'm in Danville about 10 min off of 680.

    Any stores have chicks now?

    So a dog got to some of our chickens and I'm wondering if there are any stores that carry chicks right now? I have only raised chicks in the Spring previously. Or any hatcheries you would recommend? I saw the mypetchicken is out of a lot of breeds. I'm thinking that might be the case for...

    Things You Wish You Would Have Known?

    I knew that raising chicks could be messy, but I didn't realize it would be so dusty! And I didn't realize how relaxing it would be to watch them free range! I always ask my kids if they want to come watch "chicken tv" with me. I always get a taker:)

    Bay Area BYCers!

    Anybody interested in this georgeous guy? This is our rooster Hawkeye. He's about 16 weeks old Easter Egger and not crowing yet. But we need to find a new home for him. We raised him from a chick. Please PM me if you are interested.
