Quote: Yes, Jeremy, we've got tons of ivy in the back (the English kind, I think), and whenever I let the ladies out of the run to freerange they LOVE scratching around in it. They don't eat it though. If they've taken a nibble here and there it hasn't harmed them. What they REALLY love is...

Quote: So you use the Sevin powder? Do you get it at the Concord feed store? I have some DE that I spread around the bedding occasionally, but I've been conflicted about using it so I haven't been consistent. So hard to know what to do - I guess we all just have to try things and stick with...

Hey all you local folks - now that I have actually met some of you guys face-to-face, I'm going to start bugging you with questions... I'm pretty sure one of my birds has mites - my Leghorn looks like the feathers on her face and some of her back are stained, and she has, shall we say, a...

Quote: OK I got it to work, but I had to sign in to FB, THEN I had to Like Meyer Hatchery, THEN the Like button appeared under your coop picture. If anybody else has problems, try this approach. Hope you win!!

Urk - that link goes to a page that says "content currently unavailable". I'll try logging in again after taking kid to school and see if it's behaving better then. Your coop so totally deserves to win!

Cheryl, I keep trying to vote for your coop but every time I log in to Facebook after clicking "Like", the "Like" button disappears and I can't seem to get it back - can't even make a comment! Maybe Facebook is having issues? wendy

What a lot of fun!!! Thanks so much for opening your house (and coop) to us, Cheryl - we had a wonderful time! Well, the two door prizes didn't hurt, either... So nice to meet chicken people!

I just modified the spreadsheet for my food contribution -- we're coming directly from somewhere else so we'll be somewhat late and won't have any way to keep devilled eggs cold, so I'll bring fruit along with our cheese and crackers. Something tells me we're gonna have plenty of food...

Well I've really been out of touch for awhile, but I've had this event on my calendar FOREVER. Naturally, though, other family stuff is coming up but I'm still going to do everything in my power to be there with husband in tow. We'll get there much later than 11 though, if that's OK - probably...

Quote: Yes - especially funny since I only have six chickens!

I will be there!! Really looking forward to this! I'm coming from the Oakland hills, so not too far away but I could conceivably help with carpooling. Handle whillergee Real Name Wendy # adults/ # kids attending 2 Food/Drinks bringing Somebody's GOT to bring devilled eggs..! And some...

I have a superstar Leghorn that started laying at 19 weeks, has laid every day since then (over a month), and has given us two eggs in one day and one double-yolk. The other girls are doing fine too - and waiting now for the two Plymouth Rocks to crank up the egg works! The eggs are still on the...

I was just at Mike's Feed in San Leandro over the weekend, and they asked if we wanted a free chicken -- turned out to be a BO roo, which we couldn't take since we live in Oakland and roos are verboten. He looked like a nice bird (from what my newbie eyes could tell) so if he's still hanging...

Quote: Then we could start converting the neighbors!

I'm IN!! Well, depending on the date, but October is usually pretty doable. I'd love to meet some other chicken folks! I'm usually good for some kind of dessert, too...

Quote: I like the way you think... ! Now-- any pointers on how to convince DH that we should save up for a nice country spread if we can ever retire?

This morning I actually heard my DH say "Let's get a few more chickens - I want some more breeds." This from the guy who obligingly but with a bit of eye-rolling built a coop and humored my chicken yearnings... Not sure what I'll do if he gets chicken addicted -- we're at the limit of six for...

Thanks for the "feed"back, you guys (har har, I'm cracking myself up...). I want to make sure my little flock of six girls is happy and that they have whatever their egg machinery needs to produce those fabulous fresh eggs! The Leghorn started laying a couple of weeks ago and she's been...
