I was completely blown away when I received these eggs:
I ordered 7 and got an extra!
I remembered how it felt to get a present for my birthday or Christmas (and it has been many, many years).
BIG thanks to Acornewell for the most beautiful egg shipment EVER.
Looking (desperately) for bantam salmon Faverolles hatching eggs. Only need a few since my incubator only fits 7 eggs. I've reached out to LOTS of breeders with absolutely NO response whatsoever. Please help! Thanks.
Whoa, Linda... That's wonderful news!!! I used to live in El Cerrito, right off of Central Ave. (very close to the 99 Ranch Market) and I remember somebody keeping chickens a few blocks from our apartment complex. I thought it was wonderful. I now live in Hercules, where I know I'm not supposed...
I have a GORGEOUS "Favington" bantam cockerel that I need to sell. His mother is a salmon Faverolles bantam and the father is a black Orpington bantam. This, I'm told, is the ideal "first step" in crossing breeds to put hybrid vigor back into the Faverolles. I think you'd breed him to a...

Here's another seller in West Marin, but he doesn't...
Heya, Christie!
My pullets are WONDERFUL!!! I was just so heartbroken when one of them got killed by a hawk on New Year's Eve day. She was my daughter's favorite, too. I REALLY want to breed my two remaining girls plus my older hen, but I just have NOT had any luck hatching out a cockerel...
Yes, I have two beautiful pullets that I hatched from Mothergoose's eggs last year. I had three, but lost one to my first (and hopefully last) raptor attack. I have another hen from Isgrigg line and my oldest Fav hen (from a completely different line) doesn't lay eggs at all, though I love her...

That's Paula, right? I've never bought eggs from her, but she's definitely a sweetheart! You really find some "good eggs" on CA Chickens. I mean really great folks. If any of them are local to you, all the better.
