Ok so I have been trying to find Barber line BLRW, I can't seem to find any anywhere!! Does anyone know of any breeders that have them? I can find breeders that have mixed Barber lines with lesser quality birds but that is it! I would like to find hatching eggs or day old chicks...
So I'm getting rid of my flock... I hate to see them go but I have to do it. I have 2 SLW, 2 Americanas, 1 BR, 1 RIR, 1 Delaware, and 1 banty black frizzle cochin. They are all pretty sweet, not super social but when they feel like it they will let you pet them. The SLW are about a year old...
Ok so I am getting shipped a dozen welsummer eggs from mother goose on april 7th! YAY!!!!! I have an incubator which I tried to use on a previous hatch but I had horrible luck.... And yesterday one of my hens decided to go broody... So now I'm totally torn between giving her the eggs if...
Yay I just got home with my new little fluffy butts!!! I got 2 Easter Eggers, 1 RIR and 1 Delaware! All pullets! Sorry the pictures aren't great because I took them with my cell phone but I just had to post some pictures now!!!!!!

So I am building a new coop! I am converting over a metal shed so I want to try to attach as little as possible to the walls... I was thinking about using a ladder for the roost? Anyone think this would be a good/bad idea? Or better yet is anyone doing this? The girls right now free range...
Ok so I just got a new shed today! I'm so excited! It isn't put together yet, I got it of craigslist so I broke it down and moved it today, tomorrow I will start putting it together! It is a 12x15 metal shed, anyone have ideas as to how I could go about converting it over? Like I'm not sure...
So my SLW have just started laying! The first egg I got was in their nesting box like it should have been! THEN they decided my porch swing is a better place to lay eggs!!!! I want to break them of this habit of course! I tried locking them in the coop yesterday and layed in the nesting...
I just finished my incubator and I am dyingggggggg to get some eggs in it!!!!!!!!! My DH wants something barred... He likes the looks... Me I'm not picky I just want some eggs!!! I will pay for shipping + whatever you want to charge for eggs (would be shipped to 95820)! Please let me...

Ok I so I just got a little bantam frizzle cochin and I would like to bring her in at night because it is cold outside. I know it isn't super cold since I'm in CA but tonight it is really wet outside and I went out there to check on her and she was wet with condensation! I felt so bad I...
Hi everyone! So yesterday I got my first frizzle! I'm so excited! She is really sweet and I would love to be able to bring her in the house but I'm not sure how well diapers could fit her because of the frizzle??? Anyone have experience trying to get diapers on a frizzle? Thanks so much!
