    I am in California. I would love Swedish Flower Hen eggs crossed with Bantam for my feathered girl to hatch and my daughters to help raise. Do you have some for sale or perhaps suggestions where to look?

    Non layer; what else to check.

    First of all let me say "Ivy" is spoiled. Organic everything, yogurt and crushed shells and chared wood and DE everywhere and some Acv in the water on occasion, tons of roaming time in my safe urban backyard (all neighbors have nice dogs so we have no rodent/cat issues). I have two also 11 month...

    Dealing with The Chicken Clique

    For just a month i have had chickens. I have one chicken who's left out of the "click". She's definitely the omega of the three and she follows the other two around a few paces behind all day long. That is, until the Ancona, goes in to lay. This tiny EE/ half bantam 2.5 pounder turns from the...

    Never laid in new home and had mites/lice...

    So I adopted 3 chickens a month ago. Two are "easy peasy" as my daughter says. The chicken they dictated as mine has never laid for us and was a bit picked on by the rooster in her previous home. She's about 11 months. Not broody although she likes to sleep at night in the best box. They are on...

    Still not laying so I'd like some help identifying...

    When I adopted this little girl I didn't get to inspect her as my mom picked her up from an organic farm. She is 10/11 months old. Her siblings are an Ancona and my mom was told an Araucana or Ameraucana (the white bird is twice the size of "Ivy" the black bird who is iridescent green in the...

    Updating avatar/profile picture

    Honest, I have read and followed links for hours, so now it's time to ask. I'm on an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0. I can attach photos to my posts, I've posted just over 20 times but still I do not have the options yet to add a signature or change my photo/avatar. Suggestions please?

    Do I need to throw away their eggs?

    On one of my new girls were mites when I got her. Took a while for me to handle her and inspect her, so no eggs from her for the past three weeks. I washed her, dried her and the next day dusted her with Permethrin powder, super concentrated, and I used a 1" paint brush to get right on her skin...

    New from Gilroy CA (south of SF and San Jose)

    Hello fellow chicken lovers, We brought home 3, 10 month old hens (a stunning mottled Ancona and two (one black and one white) Ameraucanas or perhaps Easter eggers - I'm still trying to figure them out) on Saturday. We added to our menagerie of existing animals. A blue and gold Macaw, an Irish...
