G’Day from down under britishbird Welcome!

Aaaw, poor chookies

Good luck with your search

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock when the arrive, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Hi there!
I'm new to chickens... we were adopting some 1 year pullets... but they got got by a mountain lion (they were living in the Santa Cruz mountains) before we could pick them up :-( So now i have a coop and no chooks.
I'm looking to get some coop-ready pullets -- Orpingtons, Brahmas, Wynadottes, Easter Eggers -- but am struggling to find somewhere/someplace that is trustworthy (i.e., has well-treated and vaccinated chickens).
I've looked at Mill Valley Chickens but seen mixed reviews. I'd love recommendations. I really did want to get going before the spring (and don't want to go the baby chick route).
Looking forward to learning more from y'all and getting lots of great advice.
Thanks!

Hey! I know you posted this a bit ago, however I’m from the SF Bay Area too. There is a store that I go to in San Leandro (north bay) to get my chicks. Right now they have a whole bunch of chicks. It’s called mikes feed! It’s on east 14th street. We have gotten almost all of our chicks there and they are fantastic. Hope I’m not to late to help!
