High Desert, California!!

[Yermite]

Hello, all. I haven't been on the site in quite a while and it's good to be back. My husband and I feel like we've gained so much knowledge about our flock. I got tons of great information from books, from websites (mostly byc), and from chicken keepers... but nothing could surpass the wealth of understanding that came with just hanging out with the girls. Everyday getting to know them during feedings or mid-day while they dust bathed. This year has been prosperous for our broody hens as well. I'm commenting on this thread to see if any of you are near my area, Apple Valley, Hesperia, Barstow, Newberry Springs and if those close enough would be interested in selling or trading hens with us. I've got 2-barred rocks, 2-light brahama, and a rir to hopefully trade out for silkies and/or orpingtons (any shade). Thank you in advance!

Hi I live in the high dessert. Hesperia area and my two of four ladies just started laying eggs. I got the back in June but I understand it's winter. They are fun to have around. I just wanted to get tips on where about I should get some good organic feed in this area.

I've heard good things about Modesto Milling and met the owner at the show in Modesto this weekend. It looks like there are several retailers near you: http://www.modestomilling.com/retailers-california.html

Hi,
What color bantam silkies do or will you have? How old are they when you are ready to sell them?

Yes. Sorry I'm new to this so probably didn't post it correctly.
