They are a different kind of chicken for sure but as friendly as one can be if handled regularly .....

For one a Molted Houdan is a mellow chicken and one reason for this I believe is the head feathers tend to get in the eyes and they can not see very well the roosters do not tend to fight much but tend to run as for the hens so best not to have them around more aggressive chickens but do like to sit on their own eggs and hatch but then as with any animal different personalities will reveal themselves as one of my young lady's likes to come in the house when ever the door is opened ...

A Tractor Supply Company store is opening in Hesperia, scheduled to open in January. As much as I love supporting the local feed stores (and will continue to do so), I think it's great. Sometimes the little guys just don't have everything needed for a project. Also excited that they should have chicks year round, and in labeled bins instead of all mixed together...
Looking for information on anyone in the Antelope Valley that has hatching eggs for sale, or even a breeder of some kind. Looking for a variety of breeds to replace my current stock and we thought it would be fun to try our hand at incubation. If anyone has any leads that would be great!
With that being said I am also looking for a processor to send my old girls to to ready them for the pot. Any leads on that would also be appreciated!
Thanks!
