Hello, Been lurking this site for some time anxiously awaiting my chickens and now they are here! Three turned into eight so far! Ca White, Wyandotte, Welsummer, Delaware, Ameracauna, Australorp, Easter Egger and Sp Sussex. Really want a Cream Legbar and Olive Egger! Only in it for the eggs and new pets. I am a wildlife rehabber for 20 years with rabbits as my focus. Always loved and had animals most of my life. 4H’r as a kid. Aviary/coop in process and yes planning on intergrating my chickens with other birds I already have, such as finches, parakeets and 2 doves. Yes we are taking steps to split off if we have to intervene. We have 2 dogs, 7 cats and an Amazon Gray. We just moved from inland San Diego to the coastal area up on a hill to care for mom. We recently cut down a Tipajuana tree and want to use branches for the birds, does anyone know if they will hurt them? Thanks for all your help!
Welcome to BYC!! Chickens are amazing to have! I am not sure about the Tipajuana branches... but im sure some other people can find the answers!
Funny how just a few chickens can suddenly grow like that! Here's a link to the state threads: find-your-states-thread.270925 Someone that lives in your general area may know about the tree. Thanks for joining us!
Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry. There is always space for members on the BYC roost! It seems as if your flock will be expanding expeditiously. I am planning to do a breeding project with olive eggers. A Black Copper Maran (Dark brown egg gene) x Easter Egger (blue and green egg gene). Are you in San Diego California though? Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!
Welcome to BYC. We are glad you joined this flock! Jump right in and make yourself at home. I would guess that the branches would be fine...but I have no clue what kind of tree that is. This video will help you learn how to navigate this site: Coop Ideas: Chicken Coops BYC has an APP!
Finches are fun...had some. Found out the zebras can really triple in number..fast! I had another type, can't think of name right now. Had some babies, did well first time out..second time, not so well. Not sure why. WELCOME!!
