Oops, I forgot, I also have three cock/cockerel bantam Columbian cochins. I had a predator break into the pen and kill all my girls. If anyone is interested in the boys, they can have them for free. They are also from exhibition lines. The roo was best of breed at the last show I took them to, and the two youngsters are his sons.

Hello everyone, We are on the coast in Mendocino Co. (Fort Bragg) I've been wanting to say hi and now seems like a good time. We have been putting together our chicken thing for about a year now (I believe I got carried away) We have Bielefelders, Cream Legbars, Silver Sussex, Isbars and one hatchery Delaware hen.
We are hatching some Bielefelder crosses today!!!!!!!!!! Actually they started hatching yesterday and through the night, three more out of nine to go. I will post up pics later!!!!!!!!!!

Hello again and HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi and Welcome!!

I am over the mountains from you in Lake County...will you be breeding your Silver Sussex? I would love to drive over to Ft. Bragg to buy some SS babies or eggs. Or I could trade some Delaware chicks or eggs for some at some point. I will happily deliver to you...make a weekend out of it with my husband.. and then mosie on home. if you are interested I have breeder...not show quality Dels. I am also going to have Nice New Hampshires and great hybrids from heritage breeds.

Your hatch sounds great! Looking forward to pics!

Yes, they are very sweet and gentle. Cochins are a nice chicken breed.

Hello to you too neighbor,
We will be breeding the Silver Sussex this summer. We have one Silver Sussex hen, two pullets and five cockerels. The oldest pullet and cockerels are about four months old so it should not be too long until we can start breeding. We are going to separate them into their own pen soon. I will post up here when they start breeding and I have verified fertility.
We are very interested in Delawares also. Our Bielefelder roo over our Delaware hen makes a beautiful friendly red sex link. We also want to try this cross with our Cream Legbars. You say breeder quality Dels does that mean they are not hatchery stock?

sewngrow, Thanks for the welcome. I have learned so much from BYC already. I dont know how how we would have fared without it. There is so much to learn and this is the best resourse I have found. Thanks to all you kind folks out there sharing your experience / inexperience it all helps.
