One more early bird! The two are in the brooder now. I’m seeing one pip in the incubator, rocking, and cheeping. Tomorrow will be a busy day. :jumpy:jumpy:jumpy
Just wanted to share the cute surprise we got today (day 19)!
This is my first real hatch. A dozen eggs from my flock with 10 making it to lockdown yesterday.
Rooster is an Alchemist Farm BCM. The eggs are:
- 5 BCM x BCM (brother to sisters)
- 3 BCM x Alchemist moss egger
- 2 BCM x random...
Update: Nevermind! Didn’t realize moving was one of the ways to break a broody hen. Guess I’ll raise them by hand again. (Boo hoo, I get adorable chicks to play with for a few weeks. 😉)
Hi! Does anyone have a broody hen they’re willing to sell or let me borrow? I have eggs due to hatch in a...
Oh no! Now you’ve got me worried. I got three marans and three moss eggers from them. The chicks are 7 weeks old today and have been in a separate area of our coop for the last week. They all seem healthy - active and curious from the day I picked them up - but they’ve only been exposed to the...
I have too many boys! Now both my Ayam cemani, a belgian liege fighter and I think one of my spitzhauben needs a home. I’m in Oakland and can deliver to Sacramento.

And another. Just spotted shiny new saddle feathers coming in. This one is a 9 week old Belgian Liege Fighter from Greenfire. He’s already a big boy and should grow to be rather large. He’s the darker one in the back. The ones in front are my Cemani roos also up for grabs.
Well, the boys just keep on coming! Looks like my last two Ayam Cemani are boys. They are so pretty, but I’ve got my roo picked out. The 9 week old is from Greenfire and the 14 week old from a breeder in Texas. The older one has some dark brown lacing on his cape, but otherwise black through and...
Rehoming Swedish flower cockerels! Well my luck ran out this year and we ended up with close to half a dozen boys. They are about 9 weeks old and super sweet. One will happily take a nap on your arm. They’re from Greenfire lines.
I’m in Oakland and can meet up in Sacramento next weekend. Let me...

I’m near the Ashby BART. Let me know if you can take one or if...
