    I sent it to you in a pm, too, since I wasn't sure how well it would work here. HTH.

    This one is in Lancaster. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4610099937499&set=o.199333916779842&type=3&theater Also, there is a guy here who processes his own and has started having 'processing parties' to help ppl learn to do it themselves. Maybe he'll chime in.

    Every time I've talked to him he's as patient and helpful as possible. :)

    Hi Richard. I did talk to them and I may end up with their eggs. They sure have a variety of breeds right now. What did you get from them? And did you give up on the TJ's fertile eggs? I can't remember hearing how your 2nd hatch went with them? I have a hatch under my broody hen right now, due...

    Thanks! I know Tricia from another list and I already have a quad of her Ameraucanas. They are lovely. She's a nice person, too, which makes working with her especially fun. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Does anyone have fertile eggs? My xmas gift incubator arrives next week and I'd like to test it with some dependable, local eggs. I'd be happy to hatch eggs for anyone and give you the chicks back once they hatch if you want some babies? I can accomodate 20 standard eggs, but don't need to do...

    Just realized no one answered your question about feed or bedding. I buy feed at Hemme on Sierra HWY. I also buy wood shavings/shred there for our run, scratch for a winter-time treat and hay for our peacock pen. I like Van Dam in QH (new store on 50th), too. You just want to make sure you have...

    Regarding good breeds, I love my Ameracaunas but they are noisy....very very chatty girls. And loud about it, too. My buff orpingtons are super friendly, quiet (tho they do sing a quiet little egg song sometimes to announce how proud they are of themselves) and good layers. My Barred Rock is so...

    Are you actually in Lancaster or Palmdale? Either way I would be cautious and try to find out from your city zoning office if you are allowed. I bought my coop from some guys who had been told it 'would be fine.' It was fine for about 6 months til someone called the city on them. They had to get...

    Hi desert chicken people. I'm looking for some fertilized eggs for my broody hen. Anyone have anything? I'd like meat or dual purpose but I'm good with just anything at all. If all else fails I can always get fertile eggs from Trader Joes, I guess.

    There is an Antelope Valley Beekeepers group that gets together every 2nd Wednesday of the month at a restaurant on Sierra HWY. I'm new to bees, and have only gone to a couple of meetings but they are very welcoming and helpful. Let me know if you'd like the contact info for the guy who runs it...

    Thanks, you two. Adding water, increasing surface area, etc is doable. Handturning isn't because the incubator will sometimes be in a school, where we won't have access on the weekends. Thanks for all the input.

    High Desert, California!!

    Hi all. I'm in Quartz Hill. I have 6 LF hens (RIR, BO, JJ, SS, BR) and a quad of LF Ameraucanas from Noseychickens. We will also have a trio of peacocks after Santa brings them to my 7yo, lol. I recognize some of you from the CPP list on FB. I have a specifically desert-related question so I...
