I actually have one of my Blue Andalusians broody! She's my first Andy ever to go broody while the Cochins don't want to sit on any eggs. Mixed up girls this year.

Anyone know of a silkie breeder in the SC area?

Theres a guy on Craigslist who sells out pretty quick. Also there were a few at L A Hearne in Salinas last time I was there. We have a few at the 4 week stage in San Jose if you want to come up here to buy some. We got those eggs form someone in Gilroy.

Hi all..

I'm a first timer who lives in the Richmond / El Sobrante area. I'm coop is being installed next week...and my 4 mail order chicks arrive the next week. I'm quite excited! (and a bit scared).

There is a little feed store in San Pablo called El Granero that seems to have a good assortment of things and a lot of chicks. Note..if you try and call the phone number on their website...it doesn't work...which confused me at first. n They were very nice and everyone in the store (staff and customers) were chming in with their suggestions and trying to help me. (they could tell I was a beginniner).

Nice to meet you all...and I'll post pics when I have them!

I'm Kim. I live in Modesto now, but from the Bay.

So where are you getting your chicks from and what breeds did you order?

Hi Kim!

A friend of mine in Oakland recommended Meyer Hatchery (www.meyerhatchery.com). I've never used them before, but she was very happy with her chickens from there. I ordered four female chicks from different breeds based on what was available to ship out at the same time...and also trying to get ones that were supposed to be less flighty/tempermental since I'm a beginner. Hope I picked well.......

Black Australorp
Barred (Plymouth) Rock
Columbian Wyandotte
Speckled Sussex

I'm getting a coop from www.laughingchickens.com , which is also local to the Bay Area. Here's a picture of one that's similar to the one I'll have:

Great! Sounds like you'll know chicken math soon. LOL


I've posted in the CA thread about my new babies. Well, there are 3 whoopie, quail that just hatched too, but I have tiny Lionheads. She had 2 black and 2 what I'm sure with be white, but I lost both blacks.

They're just starting to fur and I'm nervously waiting to see if they are double maned. Most in the peds are, but there are a few singles and I reeeeeealy want those doubles. I have no white rabbits, but always getting asked for them. If they're doubles I'll keep at least one whether buck or doe, but it would be so cool is they are both does. Thing is my luck with rabbits has been a lot like my birds. There's testosterone running rampid at my place.
