Sad, mainly because a chicken tripped me once and caused me to fall onto my favorite chick, a black polish. Me landing on a 2 month old chick broke her, and I had to cull her afterwards. I'm used to milling, tripping cats so I'm still not sure how the offending roo managed to make me...

50. They will eat half dollar sized snails if you crunch the shell. (adding to # 23) Where I live, we have the huge snails used in escargo all over the place. When it rains I can go outside and pick up dozens from the sidewalk as treats for my duck. Crunch 'em up, and she will eat it all...

High Roost Ranch- Does Sir Fuzz have really silky feathers? He looks so handsome! Now I need to get some pics of my 3 Sermas. They are nothing special, compared to some of those on this thread, but I adore them. I'm hoping to have the chance of hatching more eggs next year. I have a...

Also on Craigslist search under 'playhouse'. Some of the ones I've seen lately around here would easily convert to a coop - just add roosts- and cost much less than $1000! There was one on our local list a couple of weeks ago that easily would have housed a dozen hens. It was very nice looking...

I'm confused. What does the fact that you are a spaz have to do with the price of eggs??? *wink* Glad somebody is going to hatch these out. They really are darling and when they are chickies, they are so cute that I found myself kissing and baby talking to them.

You are EVIL. You sly temptress - trying to get me to buy more with your photographs. I have 3 cochin frizzle pullets and one roo who needs to be rehomed, but none as striking as your birds. I want more! More I say! *insert evil laugh* Thank goddess that my roos ate my incubator so I...

Okay, gotta ask. Where in California are you located? I've never heard of Siberian Tomatoes before, but now I'm intrigued. Guess I need to start looking through my seeds and starting my fall crops too!

All of your birds are beautiful, but your Lavenders are particularly lovely. Now I'm thinking I may need to get one next year!

That seems like an awful lot. What kind of frizzle is it? If you were local, I'd give you a pretty cochin frizzle roo so you could start breeding your own.

One can just hope that Karma will kick in sometime soon. **edited to remove inappropriate comments** I also hope that someone else is calling him on his stuff. If he tried to tell me the sob story of his dog, I'd straight out tell him it was his fault and that he was an idiot to have let his...

What a bunch of BS. Of course, the idiot owner is engaging in the American pastime of "blame somebody else (BSE). Things don't go your way? BSE You fell down because you weren't paying attention? BSE You burnt yourself of hot coffee you purchased from a McDonalds? BSE etc. etc. etc. I'm...

Woo Hoo. BYC is getting tons of great press these days. I'm hoping for a time when most people keep a few chooks of their own - and my neighbors stop thinking of me as a crazy person for doing so.

Aaron K- What exactly is that type of coop? I think it is kinda a modular type but I'm not positive. Time to google. Do you have plans that you would be willing to share?

I voted and will keep on doing so daily. Although hearing that BYC is 'on fire' makes me think of BBQ. Then again, I am very odd.

I'm sorry he didn't make it. At least you did the best you could and I commend you for that. RIP, little Heinz.

Okay, so I gotta ask. Am I the only crazy chicken person who can't resist looking at the new chicks, despite having too many chickens already? And who then has to pick off pasty butt on those chicks? Today I was at the feed store during lunch and noticed a couple of chicks were pasted up. So I...

Thanks for your prompt reply. I already knew they wouldn't have babies together but I just really was hoping for reassurance that I wouldn't need to break them up. The duck is a blue Swedish, the gander an African but kinda on the small size I think. I was hopiong for two females, but if...

Okay, I know I should have investigated further before taking the plunge and I was going to buy 2 ducks, but ended up getting a duckling and goose in April. They were raised together and are best buds. BUT- I had caught the goose/gander on top of the duck in their pool once last month and...

Any idea about "Trout Chow"? Smells really fishy but is 1/3 the price of Koi food at the local feed store. I'm thinking it could be thrown into the kiddy pool.

Jason - quick check of the muni code in Stockton - Check out §16.80.060 Animal regulations Looks like you can have poultry provided you have 1/2 an acre lot. Up to 100 per acre, so if you had the minimium of 1/2 acre you could have 50 so long as they are 50 feet from the property line. Like...
