    California white chicks

    I think you got Cornish Cross meat birds. Attached are pictures of my California White as a chick, pullet, and layer. Her growth was the same as the other chicks I got that day (Olive Egger, Easter Egger and Blue Australorp). As a full grown hen, she has a slighter build than the others, but she...

    California white? Black legs.

    Your hen is beautiful, but I think she is an Austra White. Austra Whites have black legs and black splashing that is similar to your hen. This is my California White, Cali (Calla Lily). White feathers with a few black specks, bright yellow legs. She lays extra-large pure white eggs. Came from...

    Is this a California White?

    Definitely not a California White, though she is a beautiful bird. My California White, Cali, came from Privett Hatchery and was purchased at a feed store. She lays ginormous pure white eggs daily. Very friendly, quiet, curious, fun personality, gets along well with all the hens - great for any...

    Is this a california white??

I have to say I LOVE this breed! Cali is friendly, very quiet, an egg laying powerhouse daily laying ginormous pure white...

    California White Hen

    I highly recommend getting one! Excellent layers of ginormous white eggs, very quiet, non-flighty, holds their own in the flock but is not aggressive towards lower flock members (more of a "no-nonsense, don't mess with me and I won't bother you attitude), very friendly, curious, and fun...

    California White Hen

    Chipotle is awesome! I am sure that waterline was done right with her supervising! They are definitely an inquisitive breed. Cali follows me around and flies up to my lap to inspect what ever I am reading or eating. It's hysterical. I seriously love this breed!!!

    California White Hen

    I wanted to follow up in case others are curious about the California White breed. I LOVE THIS BREED! My hen Cali (Calla Lily) is one of my favorites. Even though she's only been laying for 6 weeks her eggs are GINORMOUS (average weight 65 grams) in size and pure white in color. She's a...

    Thank you for sharing! She was beautiful! I too am really loving my California White hen. I can't believe how little information there is about the breed. I really appreciate you sharing your experience! Hugs to you for your chicken loss. It's devastating to lose a chicken. :hugs

    California White Hen

    So far my California White is friendly, fairly quiet, and gets along with the other girls. She holds her own in the flock but is not aggressive. As a chick she was a curious and a leader, definitely putting herself forward and not afraid of the older hens. She tolerates being...

    California White Hen

    Update on my chicks I purchased at Kahoots in Ramona, California that came from Privett Hatchery since I found very little information about California White chickens when I was doing my research: Hazel my Oliver Egger as far as I can tell is a cross between a Black Copper Maran Rooster and a...

    HELP! Broody Hen Raised Chicks & IS NOW DONE

    Hi BYC Community, My head hen went broody & I grafted chicks to her. At 2 weeks she moved them into the hen house (Omlet Eglu Cube) with my one other hen. At five weeks she stopped mothering them and would nip at them to get them to leave her alone. Now both she and the other hen chase and peck...

    First time broody hen rejected chicks in the middle of hatch!

    Just make sure there is a barrier to keep the separate from your big girls. Without a mama hen to protect them, they are highly likely to be seriously injured or killed. You should wait until they are 5 months old to fully introduce to the flock.

    Advice needed - transitioning chicks to heat plate

    I bought a brinsea eco-glow this time around about a month before my chicks arrived and was super excited to use it. However, my head hen went broody three weeks to the day before my chicks came so I decided to graft them to her in the night. For the few hours before the grafting took place my...

    Any potential issues with mixed breed chicks?

    I've never had an issue with mixed flocks. The pecking order will be established and you should be just fine as long as you have lots of space for your girls. Mixed flocks are great!

    First time broody hen rejected chicks in the middle of hatch!

    I think your safest bet is to raise the chicks by hand. Put them in a brooder box with heat (recommend the brinsea ecoglow rather than a heat lamp), food and water.

    Need some advice

    If you are going to try and get her to adopt it, I would recommend placing the third chick under her at night so when she wakes in the morning the new chick is part of her flock. I would recommend you be there to in the morning when she wakes up so you can supervise and intervene if necessary. I...

    Hen moved 3 week babies from brooder into the big coop . . .

    Hahaha! I love it! And I totally know what you mean. I have fruit trees that are grafted onto rootstock and have read a lot about it. Definitely not grafting chick's heads to my head hen! By the way, after a sleepless night on my part, I got up early and anxiously awaited the coop door opening...
