    Is my backyard fence enough?

    Elizabeth, I'm just over the Altamont in Livermore. Do you happen to know anyone who might want a young Australorp rooster ... and who won't eat him?!

    Is my backyard fence enough?

    Thanks for the advice! I've been cooping them at night to keep them safe (we have raccoons), but letting them have the run of my back yard during the day. We do have shrubbery around the edges of the yard ... I hadn't thought of that. So far, they've only tried to climb onto things without...

    Is my backyard fence enough?

    Breeds are negotiable. As I explained in the newbies forum, I adopted two chicks that hatched in my daughter's class. They both turned out to be boys, so I need to get rid of them (one has already been rehomed, the other I'm still trying to place), but I fell so hard for them in the six weeks...

    New from Northern California

    Hi Sue, Welcome! I'm new, too. Also in NoCal. Just recently adopted two chicks that hatched in my daughter's classroom, and they both turned out to be roos. Doh! As soon as I rehome them, I'll be looking for some laying hens. What kind are yours?

    Bay Area newbie needs advice on breeds

    Hello everyone! I just signed up because (a) I've been lurking for a while, and (b) I'm in need of chicken advice. I'm completely new to chickens. Although I grew up on my grandparents' farm, my grandmother had to slaughter and prep chickens for market every day when she was younger, so by...
