California-Southern

[tmshafer]

I'm from Central California, Springville, to be exact in the foothills of Sierras. Just got 15 chicks, barred rocks and rhode island reds cause the feed store was very stiingy and had to get there early and stand in line due to all this quarantine stuff. So excited to get going! This is my second batch, my first was given to me years ago and they were all killed by varmits :/.

Hi Y'all,
Checking in from Southern Cali around the SD area. Working on my first flock which is interesting to say the least. I have 5 variety standards 3 months old, 2 mystery standards 5 weeks old and 1 blue rock, 1 Java, 1 mystery, 2 polish and 2 silkies that are 1 week old. So now I need to figure out how to integrate them all. Just wanted to say Hi.

lol, yeah I just wanted to get some hens for eggs. But I was over ruled by the wife and 3 daughters, so I wound up with a variety since they looked cute as chicks .

Haha! The only reason I don't have 1 of every breed in the world is because I'm not the best at persuading my parents!

I have a feeling that I will be in that situation very soon. They already want more and different breeds lol.

I suggest Wyandottes & Black Austrolorps
