    San Jose, CA ~60 egg cartons free for pickup Curtner/Meridian

    I saved a bunch of egg cartons in anticipation of my flock but I have more than enough. Send me a message, I'll send my address, and you can pick them up off my porch.

    Question about Prop 12 in California

    Thank you for bringing this up! I would like to hear from someone with a large-ish farm. How does 1'x1' per hen sound to you? From my recent very small scale chicken experience, this sounds bad. I'm in favor of inexpensive food, respected-not pet luxury, but I think these message boards say...

    Getting ready to be a new chick mommy

    Take lots of pictures!:D Go meet your post office staff, let them know you are eagerly awaiting that package, and ask if there is anything you can do to get it right away with minimum local travel. It sounds like you have all your supplies lined up ready to go. Welcome! Best of luck and enjoy...

    Uh oh. I'll keep and eye out and guard my ankles! The wyandotte was the one I got for looks and I think she is gorgeous so I'll try hard not to spoil her. Mine seem a pretty nicely functioning flock. They get along well, not a lot of backyard drama.

    Interesting. My Wyandotte is very chill, so meek as to be low on the pecking order. My sex link matured very quickly and was big, top bird for awhile growing up but not very big nor top anymore. Still, both will follow me hoping for treats.

    Yes she is. Thanks for the info. I'd also like to say I am SOOOO glad I got one sex link as a newbie with a variety of breeds! Besides her personality, it was great having one I knew for sure was a hen for the couple of months where each had their turn as ("Yipes is it a rooster?") the largest...

    Big news in my coop this morning- our first egg. (It's the small one behind the 2 larger trainer/decoys.) I don't know which lady did the deed. They were 20 weeks yesterday.

    ID skeleton?

    Sierra snow melt revealed this former neighbor. I’ve seen coyotes, weasels, and dogs around but guessing a big possum? Anyone have a better idea? Spine was about 2 feet long.

    What breed is this 4 week old chick?

    The little chick pic looks somewhat similar to my Speckled Sussex little chicks (in the middle and left edge of my profile pic).

    Washington Post Article

    :lau Yup(pies)! I read this as embellished satire. Chickens are definitely "in" around "the valley." I've seen the tour-de-coop on Craigslist. And people are welcome to quote whatever crazy fantasy price they want. I think we can all even laugh ourselves silly (and keep it to ourselves) on these...

    New chicks checklist....

    I'm a newbie and you sound very well prepared. My two cents is that one ought to talk to talk with one's mail delivery people a couple of days before the chicks are expected. There is a lot of luck in exactly what weather your shipment will face. And there also seems to be some luck in their...

    How old should chicks be before I slip them table treats like bread crumbs?

    2018 Valentine's day mail-a-long

    Wanted to share that I LOVED lurkiing this thread! Your happy and sad stories helped me out. My biggest ah-ha was that I needed to meet my mail carriers and that helped make my story a lucky, happy one. Mine are a week old today and shipped Feb 21, so a bit behind many of you. I ordered 6 from...

    Yippee! Chicks!

    I think my mail order chicks are doing good! Sharing cute overload pictures, shipping worries, and asking a few concerned new mom questions. I ordered 6 from Chickens for Backyards, they mailed on Wednesday, and I just picked up 2 buff orphingtons, a comet, a rhode island red, 2 speckled...

    San Jose, Ca newbie peep

    Looking for info on getting chickens, I dropped by Sam's Downtown Feed yesterday. The counter lady said typically the local 4H (Sereno?) does a fundraiser about March 1, April 1 and May 1 selling 10 day old chicks at Sam's and I-forget-which hardware store in Los Gatos. Watch their door for this...

    San Jose, Ca newbie peep

    Back in December I saw silkies on Craigs List. When I went back to find a link I couldn't find them. As I recall it seemed the same person as another post about sex link rhode island reds or comets. Now that I'm looking again all three posts of 6 month pullet possibilities in the south bay area...
