We are absolutely new to chickens and adopted 3 Red Stars from a farm rescue group that works with regional egg farms ready to "retire" their layers. We got them at 16 months, and they are absolutely awesome! They are similar to the ISA browns, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong). They are...
We have 7 cats currently (all reject rescues and a couple of foster cats. We use World's Best Cat Litter. Pricey, but it's the only thing we've found that works well. Clumps great and last a while before getting stinky. We previously used Sweat Scoop, but we noticed that it's stinky during...

Hi all! I'm in Sacramento and am new to chickens. We adopted 3 rescued hens about 2 months ago from Animal Place in Vacaville. I never thought I'd enjoy them so much! They're totally spoiled.
