    I never heard of clipping their wings, and but can fly as high as 8 feet. I have a wire roof overhead.

    http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Urban-Chicken-Enthusiasts/events/215720122/?a=co1.1_grp&rv=co1.1 should work to access the meetup site.

    I had a necropsy done on one hen, so I know it was there. Thanks for the reply.

    Since this post was done in 2011, I presume you have solved the problem, but this is for others reading the posts, too. I read vaccinate day 1, but a booster shot after about a month old. Perhaps that is where the confusion lies. If Merek's is not in your area, you are lucky, but it if is, there...

    Fountain Valley, CA resident hiding my hens

    Thanks for all the comments. My yard is so small, and the dander does fly, so I don't really have room to build another other than next to the old one, but I am waiting at least until they are four months old, or perhaps five months (if I can handle hens inside that long). I do enjoy watching...

    Fountain Valley, CA resident hiding my hens

    I own five hens, but had serious problems finding a good hatchery at first, so lost four of the originals to disease, and had to give one back to a friend due to a pecking issue. But I do have two pullets now, and three hens. I am keeping the pullets in my family room as the outside coop...

    That's where I got my hens! Russell is the owner. Riverside (Norco) has a problem with Marek's disease (a hen died and I did a necropsy to verify this), so be sure your new hens are vaccinated the first day after birth if you get a hen from elsewhere, even if they say the new hen doesn't have...

    I spray them with a "mist" setting on the hose (has to be a light setting or they get upset). And when I clean (wash) the coop, that cools the soil which I do in the summer a little.

    Mareks Vaccine

    I bought two chicks at one month old that I could not vaccinate due to their age (must be done the first day), so I am raising them inside the house for four months because I have lost hens in the coop due to Marek's. The three hens in the coop now were exposed, but did not die and are around...
