    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm trying to avoid hatcheries because I think poor hatchery genetics contributed to my Faverolles' early death. I have been digging through all the FB groups, Instagram, and Craiglist, unfortunately pickings are slim everywhere because it's November. Shipping...

    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    I live in a town with a 4 hen limit and unfortunately my sweet hatchery Salmon Faverolles unexpectedly dropped dead a few weeks ago :( I need something started since I only have one spot in my flock, but I've been having a heck of a time finding a pullet at this time of year. I live in Los...

    BACKYARD CHICKIES HATCHERY?

    Hi Robert! I'm glad I was able to spare you getting infected with Mareks too. I have ordered Silkies from both Sunrise Silkies and Swanky Silkies and can vouch that both breeders were wonderful to deal with and sent me birds that were stunning show quality (miles better than the ones I bought...

    BACKYARD CHICKIES HATCHERY?

    Save yourself the heartache and don't buy from this place. Her customer service and selection is excellent, but of the 3 Ameraucanas I bought from her, all of them were dead before 2yo. I spent thousands of dollars trying to keep them alive. My youngest died in my arms at 6 months old from an...

    Eye Infection in a Chick

    Just wanted to update everyone! The compress worked. After about a day she was able to open the eye again and the swelling has gone down since I've been able to get the antibiotics in. Unfortunately I don't think her eyesight is coming back in that eye (it's hazy and glazed over), but at least...

    Eye Infection in a Chick

    I was just talking to my mentor again and that's exactly what she recommended (she said do it 3x per day). I'm going to try that to see if I can loosen things up.

    Eye Infection in a Chick

    Hi All, I was hoping I could get some advice on how to save this chick. I bought her at 3 days old from a breeder and she seemed healthy, but after about a week I noticed she wasn't growing as fast as the others and that her right eye was swelling shut. The wait lists for avian vets where I...

    Redondo Beach, CA laws?

    I've searched through old threads, but there aren't any that had a satisfactory answer for my my town and its laws. I am in a suburb of Los Angeles between a town that is 100% no chickens ever and one that only recently started flirting with the idea of reversing their ban. This "exotic animal...

    Redondo Beach, CA laws?

    It's just a one page document where you write down what kind of animal it is, if it bites people, etc and then request a home visit. It isn't very specific and says you have to do it for each animal which seems crazy for chickens. I'm sure I could pass that part, but I know most towns want you...

    Redondo Beach, CA laws?

    Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone here has chickens in Redondo Beach, CA? I saw a few comments during my search of people mentioning they live there. From what I can tell the laws do not allow for chickens unless you apply for an exotic animal permit. Am I right? If so, did you apply and...
