to BYC aggiegirl! Once chickens steal your heart NOTHING gets done UNLESS it has to do with the chickens! When they end up living pbetter and eating better than you, THEN you know you got a problem.... hee hee

My flock is in Ramona, CA. One Cochin rooster (We love him) and six hens. We love them too. Lots of varmitts around, but so far so good.

Hi ladies and gents. Greetings from Buena Park!

I am recently back from the Philippines after transporting some local SoCal eggs 7500 miles and hatching them there. Given the crazy ordeals me and the eggs went through, I was very happy with a hatch rate of just over 50%

The thread of my adventure is: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ck-out-of-here-a-diary-of-a-crazy-chicken-man

I am planning another egg run towards the end of May. I am looking for local big breed eggs to carry over - Jerseys, Orps, Plymouth Rocks or any others. I also will take Silkies and Polish - just because they are so darn cute. I am open to other weird and wonderful breeds as well. I need a few Australorp and Black Copper Maran eggs to breed there as well - I only got one chick out of 8 eggs for each of those breeds I bought on ebay.

One local BYCer is organizing me some Pekin Duck eggs too. (thanks hillfloweranch)

I hope to find eggs less than 5 days old that are local. If anyone out there has eggs that I can buy at a reasonable price, let me know.
