We live up by Willows CA and are looking for 4 full grown Dominique hens. Not too old please. We have a really nice, safe pen for them and I am knowledgeable about chickens. You can see the pen at www.grindstoneranchweekly,blogspot.com That's my blog (obviously?) Please send me an email. Thanks!
I am new to BYC and just "fledging". I have a small flock of girls that I need to re-home and I wonder if there's any BYC folks out there in Tracy or near to Tracy that might help me out. Thanks in advance!
I live in Tracy California and I'm looking for a kind soul to help me with my girls. We are moving to a ranch where we can't bring our girls. I have 6 hens of various ages (I think) and breeds. They are all healthy, have had fresh water, proper nutrition, free range and have lived in a big clean...

We have a lovely young rooster that we will give away free but to a good home ONLY. We do not want him to go and be food for a python or something. He was a hatchling at a elementary school and, of course, when he got too big they sent him out to foster. I simply can't keep him. I can only have...
I think he's getting straightened as we speak. Maybe I will keep the rooster. Who knows. My last flock was rooster free. I never had the experience. What can they protect against? I think coyotes would get them. We have red tail. Likely golden eagles too. Luckily we're too country for raccoons...
Hello from Tracy California. Not too far. We moved to acreage too and we have 3 little cows as of today. (plus 3 horses and 11hens and 1 Foghorn Leghorn! I say!)
You guys are wonderful! Thank you SO much! Yes, there is at least one maybe two that aren't bare arsed so I will watch and see. I have seen at least one go for feathers but that time was just on another's back. They are VORACIOUS for earthworms so I think you guys may have something there. I...
