Hi Neighbor! I'm in Escondido now (unincorporated San Diego County Zoning laws! YEAH!). I have a 25 chicken flock cap. I'm down by 7 hens right now (long story involving coyotes, hatching and lots of roosters :/) I'm not sure I'm going to add 7 this Spring or not. Right now I'm dealing...

I have a beautiful black LF cochin that is most likely a rooster, I'm in San Diego, I will deliver him if anyone wants him. I can add pictures too if anyone is interested. 17 weeks not crowing yet, but so much more developed comb than the others, and such pretty tail feathers.... Sadly I...

Working on latest So Cal coop, so hot weather tips here are awesome! Thanks everyone for sharing (even if it was years ago!)

[edited out the other pics] HOLY MOLY This is a gorgeous photo!!! The lighting, the dress,the cuteness it's all so perfect!!! I want to paint this!!

Hey SoCal people, on a very long shot I am wondering if there is anyone who happens to be looking for a giant breed dog about 3ish years old. Super sweet with people, I wouldn't put him with small animals or children though. He will kill squirrels/rodents. If you are interested, please PM...

If you are worried about overfeeding, check Basil's keel. The breastbone should not be too razor sharp, nor covered with fat. Babies go through plump and growth spurts so just watch for a trend. I had a chick that wasn't eating and her keel kept getting more sharp (means there isn't enough...

I remember the best part about having ducks as a kid, was watching them in the morning at the fence between our yard and our neighbors yard picking off the snails as they came over. This was after they ate ALL of the snails in our yard (probably the slugs too). Of course they also ate all the...

Wow. Just... wow. Susan

I tried a bird suppliment called quicko classic, really wetted down and she finally ate. I honestly think she doesn't like the chick starter. Time will tell. Susan

Hey all, I'm working on a chick about 2 weeks old who has nothing but clear fluid in crop. Acting listless, just standing not laying down. Eyes mostly closed. No nasal discharge or eye 'bubbles'. No cough or strange movements. I have not seen her poop. Crop does not smell and seemed to only...

I lost one last night, My only white possibly splash cochin. She was just squished under the other chicks and they were just standing on her flat body. OMG I have never seen that. Wicked little creatures. I don't know if she ate something in the yard during field trip time, or if they were...

and yes... ducks CAN jump, quite high. I wonder if I could send you some duck starter from amazon.com in the states? You would probably find something locally before it got there. Before taking the story to the news, find out if you need to have a license. Here it would be Wildlife Rehab...

If you have a small stuffed toy animal, or a clean featherduster Basil will snuggle under that. or even an extra cloth set up in a little a-frame shape. They naturally want to snuggle under something. Just make sure all cloths do not have strings hanging off of them, she will either eat the...

Hey Sally, yeah they are all feathery all over, I had forgotten how dirty feathery feet can get! Plus I have a little silkie that is darned cute that was escaping her home so she's staying with me, and some from the feed store and 2 that hatched from eggs I was given to eat but just stuck in...

Yay!!! Congratulations!!!!

yay! keep cheeping to it!! sometimes I tap on the table near the incubator with my finger and they get all excited and start tapping back trying to get out. (San Diego, California checking in...)

aw, I'm so far behind I can't catch up. Do you know what's wrong with HALO? Whatever happened with the carefree set and forget hatch that you were doing? Did they all hatch? :)

ugh. Well I had to cull one of my chickies. Little Peg was not improving, had a leg injury from hatchday on. I can't believe how attached I was. I did wind up picking up 4 barred cochins from the local feed store, and I wound up with a black silkie from the farm where I goat sit... It kept...

too cute!

Awesome! Who is CPL? Just would like to make a shortlist of places I'm willing to order from in the future. :) Susan
