    Buying chickens in Central Coast California

    So after buying 3 Pullets in April and having all three turn out to be cockerels, I am a bit discouraged. I was assured they were hens, but…either the breeder did not know, or they were unscrupulous. Either way, I don’t want to do that again. I live in the Monterey Bay area. Anybody out there...

    Pack of Pullets

    I wanted to post about our new pack of five pullets because their arrival was totally eclipsed by the discovery of my missing hen, Henrietta, and her secret nest which hatched this week. We got the pullets on the same morning we found Henrietta. Settling them into their new run was the way we...

    Need Some Help With Fermented Feed Issues

    Alright, I am just a couple weeks into fermenting my feed and getting everyone on a schedule. But I'd like to talk to someone who has experience with it, as I feel I'm doing something wrong. I'm guessing it's my ratio of what I mix in, but I'm not 100% sure. I have laying hens, a turkey...
