Folks in your area are hatching and selling all year long. Lots and lots of activity; I'd say that there really is no bad time of year to start with chickens as long as you are patient. Even those pullets close to lay will often wait until spring to start laying...that is the only thing. If...

Age. It is very difficult being patient, lol.

Hi! Yes so far all the breeds I've fallen in love with do well here; including Marans, Ameraucanas, and Naked Necks. I also have Faverolles, Leghorns, and Sebrights growing out. I've had a lot of interest in the Olive Eggers but so far no one has managed to drive up to buy them yet. Hopefully...

You just need to find the right ones! I can't see myself doing ducks myself, but I'll never say never.

Hey everyone, If you get up to Mammoth now and then and are looking for some new chickens, I'm located right where the 395 meets the 14. Pick them up on your way home! Currently I have the following available: Olive Egger (OE) chicks 3 weeks old $8/each straight run. (10 available)...

I've heard good things about Modesto Milling and met the owner at the show in Modesto this weekend. It looks like there are several retailers near you: http://www.modestomilling.com/retailers-california.html

You've got a good broody mama, there! Thanks for the advice on rabbit pellets...I'm looking for ways to get more green in their diets without too much fuss. I got a bale of alfalfa for them which they seem to like. I'm also looking into fermenting their feed as a way to get extra water into them...

You know, if this was directed at me...I'm pretty sure this was where my Ameraucanas came from! She doesn't have any chicks currently, so we picked up the pullets. I would ideally like to get a white rooster from another source so they aren't too closely related. I'm happy with what I got...

Ah, that's "Herb's" or Gateway Hardware...gosh he has everything there! What a great store. No we got our chicks as hatching eggs as Marans are not very common and if they come from a hatchery they are not well bred. We did get our feed there though. What we ended up doing was digging out...

It's been a long while since I've been on the chicken forums as we had an insecure run and a coyote got all of our birds more than two years ago. It took us some time but we built a "Taj Ma-Coop" for the chickens and finished the run about a month ago when a friend asked if we wanted her three...

Quote: We would really like to get some copper marans at some point; perhaps when we are ready to incubate eggs. I hope you get a rooster! I didn't see a marans rooster at the place where I picked up the hens, but he's bound to get one eventually. How many hens do you have?

Quote: Did you mean Stallion Springs? That is where I live. I have heard about this guy, if we are talking about the same guy. Haha, yes, my mistake. It's Stallion Springs. Quite an adventure getting there and picking up those chickens! I'm just praying that everyone is healthy...'cause I...

Oh, and we are going to be getting organic feed and DE from Azure Standard; we can get the feed for about $5 more than the Purina stuff.

Hello from Inyokern! We just moved out here from Ridgecrest and I'm so happy to finally be "on property". It's been a goal of our for years... Anyhow, the house we bought came with a chicken coop and two weeks ago we got our first hens. We got Red Stars from a girl in Hesperia who had raised...
