    Fox & Hen Fine Poultry Co. - The Best Chickens in Northern California!

    Hello folks, I'm a long-time BYC user back from an extended sabbatical away from the site, and I wanted to spread the word about my business I run here in Shingle Springs, California. I raise and sell various breeds of started pullets, offer free local delivery, and low-cost delivery to most of...

    Long Time, No Time, but I'm back now!

    We ordered sexed pullets from hatcheries, so for the most part we didn't have to deal with cockerels a whole lot! Can't speak specifically to what the hatcheries did with THEIR excess cockerels, but I imagine it was the industry standard type of thing. The cockerels we did end up with...

    Long Time, No Time, but I'm back now!

    Hi y'all. Some of you may remember me from back in 2015-2017 when I was a daily (aand very active) poster on this site. I was young at the time, still a teenager, and I unfortunately ran out of time for the site around the time I moved out and started my own life (as one does). I'm 24 now and...

    GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

    I've yet to decide which age I really like best. I'm leaning towards 10 weeks. I think the younger ones are both easier and more difficult than older ones. In one way, younger ones seem a lot less "grown together" and removing and cutting the necessary bits is easier, and bleeding is minimal...

    GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

    This thread looks a little dead so I thought I'd liven it up. Did 12 cockerels today. They were maybe 13 weeks. Cochins, Orps, Welsummers, and Olive Eggers. Lost one Wellie but otherwise pretty good. Tested out my tools from Poco Pollo the first time and found them PHENOMENAL. I think I have...

    Malay thread

    My first few hatches of Malay. Eight healthy chicks that are growing beautifully.

    Color genetics thread.

    My guess is something recessive in the line. The parent stock all appears to be hatchery so it's not unusual to see unwanted recessives pop up.

    Worried Rooster

    You can try your local craigslist and local Facebook poultry swap pages if you need to rehome him. Old fashioned posters are also a good way. Be sure to make him seem very likable. If he does not have a name, give him one. Describe any good personality traits he has shown. Get good-quality...

    Can anyone help me determine sex of my Chickens?

    It's too early to tell much of anything. Those combs are rather large but they lack color so I wouldn't even take a guess on these yet. Try back when they are 10-12 weeks old.

    Norman the Rooster

    Norma's eggs went in today... Fingers crossed. (Featuring some Serama eggs as well.)

    Norman the Rooster

    I have been doing some badly needed updating on my workplace's Facebook page and did a couple photo shoots to replace the header photo. I got some really nice ones, but Norman and Norma were posing so well that they won. (Granted I may have been biased.)

    Norman the Rooster

    Lord, I wish I'd been relaxing all this time I've been away. In actuality I've been working five to six days a week. Amazing how little time is left for other things when so much time is spent at work. (Not that I can really complain, I'm getting money doing what I love.)

    Silkie comb question

    Straight comb is recessive (meaning it can hide) while pea comb is dominant (meaning any bird who has it will show it). So pea comb would be a better choice.

    New to chickens - best breeds for tick control?

    Guineas are really best. But gamefowl (Americans specifically) are the best foragers you can get.
