I'm sorry, I don't understand. My chickens eat tomatoes and tomato plants as often as they can. And, I haven't suffered a loss. Will you elaborate, please?

Mine are just 26 weeks, but they are pretty active. I have dirt .. everywhere they've been .. and they are always chasing dragonflies or tilling the garden. Mine are friendly and I make a point to handle them everyday. And, they love it when "momma" comes out to free them and feed them If...

I have 4 .. 26 weeks. They will squat so that I can pick them up .. and they will sit for a little bit. One of 'em, though .. she likes to play cat and mouse She squats and when I lean it .. runs. Of course, it can be a side effect of the gentle giant. My 4 year old grandson announces "I...

I have 4 chickens. Made my coop with my daughter and a dog house plan. Was pretty easy and Home Depot made the cuts for me. Actually, I shouldn't say it was easy .. but, it wasn't too complicated :0

Welcome from anothern Northern Cali girl!

It's true .. I may have been bitten I guess my built in safe-guard is that I am in city limits .. which means I can only have 12!

the real Northern California piping in This is a wonderful site and I hope to learn lots:) This year 4 Buff Orps. Next year .. maybe..... a delaware or two:)

These are the ones I recently posted but I don't mind posting again

They are just beautiful girls. love If the other looks like them (comb, wattles and tail) then you have a wonderful trio of buff pullets. If you don't have one, you should find a handsome man for them. big_smile May I ask where you got them? Don't see many of that caliber in this area...

Thank you. I think they are pretty, too. I'm pretty sure the one in the tomatoes is a pullet .. but, you never know .. until you KNOW, huh? I'm pretty sure these girls came from McMurray & ... because that's the catalog they pulled. I kinda had my heart set on the Delawares because I like...

There is another, but it's hiding in the tomatoes right now. Would rather wait for her? to come out then stomp the plants. Thanks for the help. My concern is that I am in city limits .. so, no roosters! And, I have one that makes the weirdest noises .. but, hope springs eternal.

Darn chickens won't stand still and say, "cheese." The one in front is one of my egg layers. Female or Male? and, this one.

My chickens ate my celery without asking .. and gobbled it all the way to the roots. So .. I don't know about everyone else's but there are 4 orps in Cali that love celery.

I got 4 BO Pullets earlier this year. They are now 25 weeks. Three of them are wonderful and consistent layers .. since beginning of August. I have gotten 4 eggs on 2 days in the last couple weeks .. but, I don't think one of them is laying .. but, she isn't cockadoodle-doing either .. Is it...
