    Reputable hatcheries in Southern California?

    I, too, got my first two flocks from Dare2Dream. You can't beat the delivery, but I think the furthest south is LA County. I ordered pullets and lost one both times; one the next day and another on the second order 8 days later. The rest lived full lives laying steadily. I got my most recent...

    I have an approximately 6 month old cockerel/roo that I need to rehome. He was supposed to be a Blue Copper Marans pullet but started doing the roo call last week. Handsome boy that is quite docile. Any interest? I'm in Westminster, CA.

    Reputable hatcheries in Southern California?

    I've purchased my chickens from Dare2Dream in Lompoc. I've only bought coop ready or pullets, so I can't speak of their chicks. My first order was delivered to me in OC. Back then they delivered all the way to San Diego! For my second batch, they only delivered south to LA due to the (chicken)...

    Hi all! Looking for a trusted source for pullets in southern California, northwest Orange County. Lost my three hens several months ago, in a seemingly freak accident during a really windy afternoon.

    Totally agree. I'm down to two hens and would like more, but I'll wait and see what is going on with the quarantine. I was dog sitting and did not realize two chickens were on the pool side. (They would take a daily stroll on the other side while the other two were content with the chicken...

    I saw this on LAUCE: Does anyone have an active Black Soldier Fly bin? Anyone try raising these?

    Uh oh. Looks like I may have a little roo. Ugh. If so, I’ll need to find a home for him. Jessimom, care for a Leghorn roo?

    I’m at my chicken maximum. Post to the BYC Southern Cal/OC board. I bet someone will take them.

    The chick is a Leghorn. Its comb is pinkish rather than red. I hope its a pullet, too! At what age should I figure the sex of the chick?

    It has been 3 weeks since I introduced the chick, and all is going well! Looks like a hen, right?

    Thank you for the info! I placed the chick in the nest box last night, and all has gone well so far.

    She is broody, but the chicks are 2 weeks old. (A teacher hatched chicks in her classroom.)

    I know I can put eggs under a broody hen, but can I put a chick in the nest box and have the hen accept it?
