California - Northern

[OR4-hmom]

I put 6 Trader Joe's fertile eggs under my broody mama last night...can't wait to candle them to see if they're actually developing!

Wishing you great luck, I thought about doing store eggs also but no one up here sells fertile eggs. I got strange looks when I asked about them.

I hope you see veining too!

It is easy to see into TJs eggs.

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. It's been busy around here.

We will be leaving California next week, as my husband got laid off. We are taking all our chickens (26!) and their 12x7 coop to Seattle area with us. Actually they will have a few month stay with a friend in Oregon while we try and buy a house. The kids and I will be living with my mom, also in Oregon, while DH works and we look for a house. Anyhow, Clementine (who is turning seven on November 12th) has a silkie hen that she is very bonded to, and I think we will try and keep her in West Linn with us while we are there (ordinance allows six hens). I would feel better if she had a buddy, so I am wondering if anyone close to us has a friendly silkie hen they would be willing to part with. Healthy, obviously - we haven't had any health issues at all and I'm nervous to add any outside chickens, but I feel like I can trust you guys. We live in Pennegrove, we can drive a reasonable distance, or we could pick up the chicken on they way up to Oregon (possibly).

We could buy or trade for other chickens

Showgirls would be fine, too

Hi Jodan!

It is good to hear from you. I am sorry you have to move but the future sounds hopeful for you.

Be sure to check in with us often and let us know how things are going up North.

I hope you find a nice friend for your Silkie.

So sorry that your DH got laid off and you are moving. I hope the move turns out to be a good thing for you and your family.

It was so easy to see inside the eggs when I candled them, air sacs were good and I chose the 6 least porous eggs so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks Walt, most of the kids have bantams so that was the way I went, plus Eric Kutch judges our fair.

the APA has bantams,waterfowl, large fowl, turkey's and guineas. It covers a lot more than bantams. Erik is a member of the APA.

Didn't you have issues with your landlord anyway? Maybe it is a good thing. However, moving is stressful. I just finished and am more than glad to be done.

I am sorry to hear about your husband. What industry is he in?

I don't have any Silkies but good luck in your search. Do you have another smaller hen you could keep with her? Maybe not a Silkie but a buddy from the flock?

Good luck and stay in touch!
