    Good afternoon! I haven't been around in a loooong time, so hey! I'm looking for started pullets in the area as we have no way to raise chicks anymore. Open to breed, would prefer good layers/not broody. Thanks!!

    "The spiders themselves must be a contact kill, whether that be a wasp spray or a show." Sorry that should be "shoe" not show. I can't imagine taking them out to dinner and a show being very effective...unless it was a really bad show.

    Phage: chemicals are not all that effective against widows (brown or black). The best control of widows is making sure you sweep webs regularly and destroy egg sacks (we use a butane torch and go out on patrol). The spiders themselves must be a contact kill, whether that be a wasp spray or a...

    Alright fellow chicken people, I need help. My bantam cochin has been broody for **** near 4 months now. We have tried everything to no avail. I am not worried about her not laying as her eggs were teeny anyways. I just worry about her health as she doesn't come out to eat/drink much. Is my...

    Ok, I need some help thinking outside the box and I am hoping you all can help. We live on a typical suburban lot (total 5,000 SF) in Mira Mesa and we built our coop on the back of the house (pretty much right up against our house). The girls have a coop/run (run under the coop) that they are in...

    I have got one broody that refuses to quit. She's our only bantam so I just let her be. Dana was trying to tempt me into throwing some fertile eggs under her last weekend...chicken pusher!! :P How long do these girls stay broody? She is a younger bantam cochin that only just recently started...

    Tomorrow (4/20) from 10 am to 1 pm, we are having a little festival for Earth Day at our fledgeling community garden in Mira Mesa. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the chicken community will be represented with a booth/table, but I would love it if any of you could stop by and support our...

    So sorry to hear that you go laid off vannaHaines. I have no advice as I gave up my job search years ago, but good luck to you and if I hear anything I will forward it to you. (We have quite a few friends in the industry).
