Loving my "Girls" and would like to add to the flock

[Marty Miller]

Hi my name is Marty and I love Chickens.. For as long as I can remember we have always had these beautiful busy ladies in our yard.. Several years ago I was able to have a friend build us a Red barn just for our Girls. its amazing how they are so much like family. I would like to add more as we have lots of room and love sharing the eggs.
we live in North County , close to Escondido and on the other side is Oceanside and Carlsbad.. If anyone has any "girls" That need a good home let me know.. iam amazed at how much people are charging for these Ladies..
thanks..

Alright Marty,

great to have you joining the BYC flock

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Craig's list is one place to look for birds. I imagine most people are charging enough to cover their investment in buying, hatching and raising the birds.

Welcome to BYC!

Are you in CA? You might want to start by chatting with others in your state thread in hopes that maybe someone nearby can supply you with more chickens!....

So glad you are enjoying all your babies. And I hope you can add more chickens to your flock soon. Welcome to our flock!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck in your search for more birds, you've gotten some good suggestions on where to look. There are also quite a few shorter CA threads if you want to do a search https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/161/california-southern

Before adding new chickens to your flock please quarantine them to be sure they don't bring parasites or disease along with them.

Enjoying the warmer weather and so are our "girls"... we have 11 hens some a little older than others.. each day we collect between 5 and 7 eggs.. so exciting to see these fresh healthy eggs.. Iam curious about the funny little bumps that some of our eggs have.. I don't think it affects the quality but was just curious. Also some of the shells are so thin that they break easily... any advice...
