Hey there! Was on here a lot a few years back finding breeders and researching, and then took a long break. Now I'm back since I finished working on my line. I am getting some good color on my eggs! Love my marans!
Hi there, long time stalker occasional poster. My name is Heather and I am in northern San Diego. We live on 3 acres and I have had chickens for almost 3 years now. I mostly have and breed Marans but there's a WA and a couple CLs, and mutts in there, too :)

I bought fertile eggs a year ago from a BYC member with good stock. Might not be to show standards but I'm not needing that for my purposes anyway. I hatched a BCM roo and 5 hens. My roo was killed by something that jumped our high fence in broad daylight. anyway I saved all fertile eggs I had...

My beloved "Marshmallow" that I bought to be my broody has started crowing :( At 9 months old, he's a fluffy adorable nugget. I nursed him back from cocci and pasty butt. He's a fighter! Has been pampered and well fed with organic feed and probiotic-rich kefir...
Soo... Some **** stray dog or cat climbed my 6 ft fence and killed 7 of my free ranging flock..3 of them were my Roos :( I happen to have two broodies...own of whom was moved to the Chicken tractor 2 days before the attack and her and her 4 chicks are fine (although one was frantic and...
This devastated my flock of 19.. ESP since 3 of the confirmed dead were my roosters. My protection is gone :(. There are feathers everywhere and 4 chickens with snapped necks it seems (no other signs of trauma except my poor Marans had all his tail feathers pulled out). My gorgeous BLR Wyandotte...

Building a coop from scratch so I have some leeway...and we're doing fertile eggs so I know I have a 50/50 chance of hatching males....so what to do with the boys...
Well obviously we could give them away but if we do decide to keep them as broilers I know they'll need to be separated once...
This is my old playhouse (sigh)...it is on our acreage (yep, still in same house I grew up in 30 years ago) but needs to be moved to our backyard 100-200 feet away. It obviously needs some TLC and b/c of rotting needs to be somewhat stripped (so why not move it in the process, right?) It has...
