San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

[RangeChicks]

I have no idea, could be.....They are still here and eating and growing. Most of what we raise are little guys, so these look huge to me anyways! I'll post a new picture as they develop. If we have them long enough, (and we probably will!) we will know what they are eventually! Just might make it easier to "re-home" them if we were smarter about what they are!
Thanks for everyone's input!

Anybody here going to the meet up at Lake Elsinore?

I am going and bringing some Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas if I still have them.

Are they girls, and blue egg layers? Can you PM me please?

How much are you asking for your wheatens?

Calling all SD chickenheads!!​

I have been working on a double yolker project for some time but really need a few more eggs to get the scientific paper finished.

These double yolker eggs rarely hatch unless a single chick hatches, which is part of my theory. Once I have enough eggs make it to day 20, I will publish the results and acknowledge in print all who have contributed to the "chicken science".

So here is the incentive to help (and be famous).

I have cream legbars, including pure Jill Rees legbars that are about 21 weeks old (not quite laying yet but cockerel is already a daddy). These are the show winning legbars that GFF have just imported from the UK.

For each double yolker you provide you could be either paid $ for each egg, or exchanged it for a cream legbar egg.

If 2 embryos start to develop you will get either 4 more regular cream legbar eggs or 2 Jill rees legbar eggs.

If your babies are actually featured in the paper (as an MRI image) you get an additional bonus 6 eggs.


For 2 embryos to develop the eggs need to get into the incubator VERY fresh (and be fertile!)


Offer of eggs assumes the raccoons keep away and no major disaster occurs.

Please let me know if you could help and want be part of solving a chicken science mystery​

Went to Tractor Supply in Ramona today and it is always worth the trip, but today they were getting several bins of baby chicks and a bin of "unbelievable cuteness": ducklings. I was strong and did not come home with new additions to my flock, but hey: 2015 is still young, right?

We are going to the Hemet TSC today. I called yesterday and they said the chicks are here.

Here's a new picture of one of those boy chicks that I have!

Two people suggested that they are Partridge Rocks, another thought Welsummer. When I looked up Partridge rocks, they look pretty identical.

What do you guys think? I've never had either of those breeds.

Anybody want them yet?

They will be a month old on March 3rd

Just about 4 weeks left until the event. Many people should have a good idea of what they will be bringing or what they may be looking for. Please keep your posts updated as your situations change, so I can share them on other sites. For those who have items or themed baskets for the Raffle please PM me so I can make a list and seek out other donations from local companies. I can't wait to see old friends again and to meet new friends. CCP/BYC people are some of the best (and craziest) people to know. Last year we had close to 475 people show up, let's see if we can get 500!!! If you would like to purchase a personalized collectible name tag, please PM, they are $1 each. They come in a plastic badge holder to pin on or hang around the neck.

I've been offline way to long.... The next meetup sounds great, will many SD BYCERS be going? Is there a SD meetup coming up soon. I would love to host one but I'm down in Potrero,it would be fun though.

 

[perchie.girl]

I think I may go to the next meetup. It all depends on what vehicle I can use.

I dont have chickens right now but am really missing getting to chat with other chicken people...
