Hi all! I am out of the loop since I've been working on the coop!

I've had a really miserable hatch and I thought I might rant a bit here... Got 2 dozen eggs shipped beautifully - not a single egg broken, all FBCM.

Of those, I have 4 live chicks, 2 that died during the hatch, 3 that died in the egg after lockdown, and of the rest about 12 didn't develop at all, and the rest seem to have gotten to day 7, but I didn't notice any veining.

The dozen that did not develop were extremely porous, and I was thinking that the hens might not have had enough calcium, but the 3 that died after lockdown had extremely hard shells, so that may have been the problem for them.

I wish that my little Bielefelder roo would mature quickly! He is 14.5 weeks old, and my Bielefelder hens are 11 months old.

Any clue when he will be considered mature? He has been crowing for a week!

My crested cream legbar pair are just 9 weeks old, so that will be a long wait. I am really not patient!

@Coop de Grass oh no! so sorry! what did you have humidity at during incubation times?

CCL. This 'un and the wellie wouldn't sit still for good pics.


Wellie OE


Sapphire, I put triple antibiotic ointment on her and she smeared it, so that's why she looks funny.


Cuckoo Marans OE

Hello all!!

Bad news, we got a complaint about roosters, so they all have to go.

But, the good news is that the 4H club has sued the city trying to change the No Roosters allowed statute. If they win, it should allow me to keep 1 or 2 roosters. For now though, I have to get rid of all of them that are crowing.

I do have to admit that with all the babies that are STARTING to crow, it's a regular concert back there.

Anyone in southern CA that wants roosters? Silkies, BCM, SF, bantam EE, Spitzhauben? Most are still too small to eat.....

Yep! Done bunches of them

it's my personal opinion that everyone needs an assistant. Would make alot of things easier.

The wellie OE is sitting on my lap. She is so sweet!

The CCL is Enya, the Sapphire is Annie, and the marans OE is Zeta. The wellie is not named yet, suggestions appreciated!

Thanks! I'm attached to quite a few of them. If they stay quiet, I'll let them stay....

Thanks!! We knew it was just a matter of time.

The good news is that even though we aren't zoned for chickens at all, the code enforcement didn't care about the hens, just the roos. They don't come up to inspect, they just mail citations.
