Welcome to BYC! I'm in Gilroy with peafowl, ducks, and chickens. What kind of chickens do you have?

Northern Calif here. I got 5 bantam chicks from Tractor Supply in Gilroy CA. They are now 8 weeks old. I hatched quail from eggs I bought online. The 1st batch quail are 8 weeks, the 2nd batch are 5 weeks old.

Hi, I'm way up in McKinleyville, Humboldt County on the redwood coast. My flock of 8 are almost old enough to start laying now (well, the 2 Easter Eggers I raised from peeps are about 7 weeks younger than the older pullets so they'll be awhile). The "big girls" are a Buff Orpington, Delaware and Barred Plymouth Rock (from the top in the pecking order!) followed by a Black Austrolorp, Rhode Island Red and a Whiting's True Blue. The Egger girls share the bottom rank. I'm very fortunate that they mostly get along fine, just the occasional dominance display/facedown or a "reminder peck" on the back if someone lower-rank tries to move up or go after a treat before the Biggers have their share.

What breeds/how many chickens do you have there in Temecula? We used to go wine tasting around there when we lived in SoCal.

Welcome to the flock. I'm in the SF east bay. I've had chickens for seven years, but just a few at a time. Current flock is RIR, barred rock , FBCM, and a "blue marans" ( so I was told,I'm not so sure)
