    Two Araucana Cockerels for Adoption in Northern California

    I'm in the Watsonville area on an 8-acre, certified-organic boutique farm. These two Henriettas turned out to be Henrys, which I'm not allowed to have on this farm. They came from Belt Hatchery via Corralitos Feed, and were hatched March 6th and brought to the farm on the 7th. They have been...

    Befriending Crows

    As you might suspect from my farm's name, I have an affinity for the Corvid family of birds. In moving to a larger acreage for the farm and preparing for a 50-hen flock, I've spent time predator-proofing the coop and run. Basics: The coop is a large shed converted to a coop. And it sits inside...

    Farming Your Own

    I'm on 8 acres of certified organic farm, and I'm already growing produce for local restaurants. With the space I have (and the number of incoming hens in the Spring), I'm going to dedicate a few hundred square feet to growing my own feed. Sunflowers and Milo are the two I'm most likely to go...

    Egg Cartons

    I'm just curious what egg cartons you use for storing and selling your eggs, as well as where you purchased them. I have been to eggcartons.com, but I'm not satisfied with their selection or pricing. I found some interesting "artistic" cartons on Alibaba that are made and shipped from China...

    Predator Experiences

    I was active here years ago when I first started raising chickens. Since then, I have moved from a hobby farmer with a handful of pet hens to a full-time farmer on a certified-organic farm. In addition to the market garden, I raise chickens, ducks, and rabbits. My first foray into farming was in...
