This is not chicken related :So this pic doesn't show it but the color was a bright mustard yellow.
Curious if anyone has seen this before. It was by the fruit trees in some tan bark.
I found what looks like older stuff that hardens up.
Seems like a fungus or mushroom relation but no one here knows what this is. Any ideas?

edited to add: it wasn't animal vomit, and it is liquidy until it dries out

Well thanks to google I just researched and diagnosed my situation
Dog Vomit Slime Mold.
Not harmful and often in mulch areas

My 13 year old daughter took one look at your pic and said, "Slime mold!" Check out the images on google search!

When I used the LG to hatch I set it up like 10 days in advance and fiddled with it to get it right.   Now I have my brand new Brinsea Mini Advance and I don't know if I should plug it in early was planning on setting eggs on Monday.

I would plug it in. My mini has higher humidity than the larger octagon or bator. Right now it's completely empty and at 35-39%

@farmhand I could not agree more about the CA Greys. Great chickenality, middle of the pecking order, non problem causer, curious and funny. And enormous bright white eggs.

I always like to hear 'testimonials' like this. CA Greys are on my 'somewhere down the road' list for when some of my older girls go.

@juststruttin Glad she made it, what a beautiful red-head .

Excuse me while I brag a bit but my youngest son just finished Med School and is moving to Mississippi to become an Emergency Resident Physician with Ole Miss University Hospital. He always enjoyed raising chickens growing up which I'm sure has led to his success.

That is great!

Hello all!
I'm usually over at the ducks section but I have a 4 week old very possibly male Buff Orp that needs a home. He was brought back to the feed store when it was determined there's a good chance he's a he.
I'm in Sacramento if anyone is interested in him. He is very pretty, sweet and handled daily. I just want him to go to a great home so no charge. I can take a photo of him tomorrow and post it when I get back to the feed store.
Thank you!

P.S. I'd love a trade of a bantam chick or serama chick if you're looking to cut back one for one! I'd even consider a duckling again.

We had it on our mulch pile this spring. Very groty looking! (My aunt's word--gross + icky = groty, somehow!)

I live just outside of Sebastopol, Ca. But I grew up in a small town in Alabama. So in my mind the division of North and south california goes bay area is central, anything above is north and anything below is south. But that's just how it makes sense to me. And to who ever was asking about a feed store that sells chicks in sonoma county, I got mine from the feed store in sebastopol. the opened up in the old Frizzell Enos building. Get weekly shipments of a wide variety of chick. Plus they have great prices on feed and suc.
