    HI Haleth - if you are near the Arboretum, check out Wes's Pets in El Monte. He has baby chicks pretty much year round, and he will even add a certain breed to his order if there are some that you want that he was not including. Then he will hold them for you once the order come in. He's very...

    OCChickens; I missed your first post about hatching... I have fertile Easter Eggers (Americana) if you wanted to hatch those. I am in Altadena, above Pasadena by 3 miles. Good luck with the eggs! Gail

    So. Calif. Free Roos: Java, Polish, Silkie, Cochin (bantum)

    I hatched them from egg-bid. Polish, blue eggs. I don't know if this person is still selling or not, as it was a year ago. Gail

    So. Calif. Free Roos: Java, Polish, Silkie, Cochin (bantum)

    Oh, no, its not. The original message was actually from a year ago, May of 2007. We kept our favorite roos, and then just had to give them away as we have too much to take care of (we used to put them in a box every night so that they would not wake up the neighborhood.) Then we had to let them...

    So. Calif. Free Roos: Java, Polish, Silkie, Cochin (bantum)

    You just missed him! May 26th he left us. He was great too, puff of grey, I thought just beautiful, as he was soooo puffy. Anyway, Buba is giving him a good home now, out toward Valincia. :-)

    wanted 6 month laying hens in ca

    Depending how much you want some.... I believe Wes's Feed store has older hens. He gets lots as baby chicks, and keeps some until they are older. They may not be laying just yet, but are at least 2 or 3 months old. He is in El Monte (near Monrovia). You can look up his phone number in google w...

    Cost of an Egg

    Divoria - very interesting. Kind of what I was wondering. So they are breaking even at $1 a doz., but their feed is so much less. Actually, about 3 times less, so I'd be breaking even at about $3 a dozen. I live in the city, pretty much. I can really relate to what Buc said: the pure pleasure of...

    Cost of an Egg

    I wanted to search the files to see if anyone has ever posted as to how much it costs to feed a chicken and get one egg (or a dozen.) I can't figure out how to search the files. I thought that I could do that before. I also read the post: How much does a 50 lb bag of organic feed cost, and I...

    POLL: How much do you pay for a 50# bag of feed???

    arwmommy, I don't know if you ever found your feed for less, because I stopped reading after about 5 pages of this 11 page post. Azure Standard is a co -opportunity that sends a truck down from oregon. They have organic pellets, 50 lbs, for $18. The truck stops in Paso and in San Luis. From what...

    So. Calif. Free Roos: Java, Polish, Silkie, Cochin (bantum)

    We hatched chicks in May, and have not had the heart to send our baby roos to the feed store, where they can go home as "food." But the crowing is becoming unbarable, and so they must go. Some are quite interesting. Java - an older large breed variety. We hatched one hen and one roo. The roo...

    When I think of Frazier Park, I think of a great place to see the stars at night! It's such a long drive though... Any spare rooms you rent out for chicken stargazers?

    What to do with my rooster?!

    ML, You don't seal up the box with tape! You just leave it upside down on top of the opening flaps. We're in So Calif. It gets hot too, but probably not as hot as some places. It stays about 70 degrees at night in the summer. How hot are you? I mean, you can try airholes, just don't make so big...

    Hi Bubba, No phone number has shown up yet. Oh, you may be in spam.... I wish I had done the breeding and knew the answers, as I love that stuff too. the woman I bought them didn't communicate much at all. very short e-mails. She was from quite a distance, and many of the eggs were messed up...

    What to do with my rooster?!

    If this helps.... (I hope it does!) We don't know if we can have roosters or not. Maybe we can. BUT our coop is within 15 feet of our bedroom, so who cares. To help keep your rooster from crowing and waking you up: Find a box just a wee bit larger than him. Put him inside the box just before...

    Bubba, Sorry to hear of the bad batch:(. I will try the DE thing for the ants, as I dislike them with a passion. I talked to my husband, and we can hold onto the roo for a bit longer. We put our roos in a box at night, and currently are putting in five! We were hoping to get rid of the roos...

    Bubba; I had one female. I started with 4 polish eggs, 3 had succesful hatches. The female is almost a white laced black color. Mostly black. The boys are both white, with a bit of black in their top-hats. I wish that I could keep a roo and then breed it to the female, but we are already going...

    This is nice to know! Pomona is not THAT far from me either. At the moment, I have DE, which I did pay shipping for. The one time I used it, I was afraid of breathing it, so I stopped. What do you guys do with it? BTW Anyone wanting Polish Roos that hatched out of blue eggs? These were bread...
