I use them too. Really helps keep the flies down. They sell them at Western Farm Center in Santa Rosa if you ever get back up here.

Were you getting the high winds? It was really blowing here last night. The lights were flickering for hours, but the power stayed on.

I'm going to take them! :) Couldn't have picked a prettier group. Looks like 2 EEs, a Delaware, 2 Orps (maybe?) What do you think? Can you tell the breed of the cuckoo pullet? with a rose comb?

That is sad. I didn't know. I was talking about Walt to another member recently, about how, at a show, he took time to talk to me and had me hold one of his bantam hens... an incredibly beefy little thing. Wish I could remember the name of the breed. Anyway, as busy as he was, he took the time...

The rain makes lots of things appear, like magic! I have little arboreal salamanders crawling around outside the garage door right now.

Less sunlight in the winter causes most hens to decrease or stop laying altogether for weeks or even months. Individuals will vary based on age and breed. I think chickens handle cold better than heat. I don't do anything special for mine except to have places for them to keep out of the rain...

Does she have a crooked beak? There are some good threads about trimming them to correct it.

Welcome to byc! Chickens are fun. Glad you are getting Flynney a friend. Do you know her breed?

IF the article is true. The story is so new, I think they are still gathering "facts."

Sadly, it may not be that simple. According to this, the rooster in question spent time in Tracy and Hayward. https://www.hmbreview.com/news/rooster-with-fatal-disease-found-in-county-alarming-ag-officials/article_9ea47154-4751-11e9-ad2c-d31f6d9f64ae.html Stay away from wild waterfowl. They can...

Depends on how old and where you are keeping them. If they are chicks that have been inside and you keep them inside, the risk is limited, especially if you wash and change clothes before tending them. If this is a close neighbor and you visit often, you probably already share chicken germs, so...

Ask away!

Hi. Pretty sure those are clover flowers. I have the same thing here (low hop, as sawilliams said). My chickens range the yard every day and I have never had a problem with them eating things that are toxic, including the oleanders that hang over from the neighbors and Ca buckeyes and malva...
