Pullets

Thank you both! Raccoons broke into my chicken house and killed all of my babies except these four, who were a bit smaller and in a second cage. I thought I had four boys, so it is nice to know I have a mix. They are very sweet and docile, unlike the spunky bantam cubalaya behind them. Thanks again!

I think its time for me to try again. The last set of eggs I got didn't work out but I've got a hankering for some blue Sumatra's. Who can point me towards a breeder in central California?

they may not start laying until next spring.
a lot of things factor into when they first lay.

Oh no! Raccoons were around my chicken coop the other night but I shooed them away. How did they get in? I'm so worried about my chickens... I have them in those flimsy coops that I ordered online :/
