I have California Greys that I hatched from eggs so still chicks. My question that I am still unsure about is are they the same as Production Blacks? Many hatcheries list them as the PB/CG is what has me confused. I know hatcheries aren't always correct in their naming ie. EEs being listed as Auracanas.

Thanks. I figured. I just wanted to see it in print un-prefaced by "I think".
That said, my California Grey chicks are the flightiest I've ever had and quick. Looking forward to them growing up.

Hopefully your CG's are of a different source than mine. My CG's had tail feathers that were brittle and constantly being replaced.
If you like quick, consider getting a couple American games. They tend to be extremely pretty, smart and otherwise very tough. If now use them for experiments, some involving flight.

I got mine from... Cedar Creek Hatchery. Where did you get yours? I'm thinking of getting more in Spring from Welp which I believe gets them from Privett. I've hear Privett is one just a couple hatcheries that has California Greys of good type and quality.

Cackle has good California Whites. Very quick at maturing.

I like Cackle. Except I'm not into the Whites. I'm interested in California Greys. I worry a little about keeping white birds.

Mine are pretty skittish. One of them is pretty friendly. I'm hoping they mellow as they get older. How old is the hen in your photo?
