Hello! I have a extremely handsome, 20 week old Super Blue Egg Layer named Poseidon that I purchased from MyPetChicken.com. I'm not allowed to keep a rooster, unfortunately. I live in San Jose, CA. He's been vaccinated against Marek's Disease, has been on organic starter feed and is a real...

Hi there, I have a 9 month old Olive Egger, healthy and lays 5-6 olive green eggs per week, who I'd like to find a new home for. She's a large bird and my little Silkie is scared of her, lol. Free to a good home. I'm in the Almaden area of San Jose and have a small home flock of five ladies...

I have at least two, perhaps more, chicks arriving soon - my Silkie is doing a great job taking care of the eggs. But I have NO idea what to do once the chicks hatch? Do I need to separate the mama and babies from the other birds in the coop? Provide special food/water for the babies? I'm sure...

Thank you for asking this question - I was just searching the forum for exactly this information! I also have a few Silkie eggs that I think (read: hope!) will be hatching soon. Can I add a question here in case you might know the answer? I have two other hens and a rooster in the same coop. Do...

I can't tell from just this picture - what breed is it and how many weeks? But I can say from my experience that every one of the chicks I had that started off acting dominant - 'play' fighting with the other chicks, jumping on top of them, dancing around them, ended up being roos. Even one that...

Thank you for the detailed candling photos!

Thank you for starting this thread - I think Sizzles are gorgeous and a whole lot of fun and I have two 15 week old Sizzles right now; a white splash and a coal black one. They are best buds and even though I gave them other names now I think of them as Tweedledee and Tweedledum since they walk...

I am so, so sorry for your loss - I've lost a few of my own and it's devastating. Thank you for alerting everyone to this possibility - I've been seeing a lot of articles about pvc feeders and waterers and was thinking of putting some in. I'm like you; I would never in a million years think...

I am having similar problems with two 15 week old Sizzles (half Silkie, half Frizzle) that I have. I have read that it's important to keep new chicks in their coop 24/7 for about a week to make sure they know where to return at night. I'm doing this, and last night I did find that one of them at...

My little Rosie acts perfectly healthy except she still lays three to four eggs a week and they have no shell and leak out of her. This has been 8 months now. I might break down and take her to the vet to see if this can be solved. She used to be such a great layer.

I've been searching for an answer to almost EXACTLY the same issue that you're having! I also have a Barred Rock, about 1 1/2 - 2 years old, who was my best layer - about 5-6 eggs a week. Last November, she started doing what your chicken does - at night a complete egg, minus the shell, comes...

Maybe search doll hats or miniature hats on Etsy?

Shoot, I see lots of threads with Northern Ca in them, but I don't think I'm finding the thread you're talking about. Any tips? Thanks!

Thank you! I will check out that thread right now.Thanks!

Hi there, I live in San Jose and just got a coop - no chickens yet, lol, working on that - and saw there's a Bay Area group thread. Mind if I join in? Kerri

Hi there, I just joined this forum and am just starting a small backyard flock. I live in San Jose too and am wondering how you've fared with your second flock and our local critters (raccoons and opossums). I have a coop from mypetchicken.com that seems to be well reinforced, but as I don't...

Hi everyone, I'm JUST starting out with a backyard flock - have the coop but no chickens yet, lol - and am casting about looking for sources for my new chicken family. I live in San Jose, CA and wonder if anyone knows of breeders in the Northern California area? I only have space for maybe...

Thank you so much - both of you! I've got lots of questions as I'm just starting out (have a coop, but no chickens yet!) so I really appreciate the help. Going to post now... Kerri

I'm brand new here and can't figure out how to post a question on the forum. I'm looking for suggested breeds so probably want to post in the 'Breeds' category. Thanks.
