Bay Area BYCers!

Santa Clara City, I googled if I can have them, and it was Santa Clara county...

What I found is that they are allowed but you need a permit. Have you tried to get a permit already?

They have a distance requirement for the permit, and I can't meet it...

I think it says you need permission from anyone who lives too close to get permitted anyway. Maybe you’ve already tried that - just want to be helpful!

Hi I have an 11 week old (as of the first week of June) French Black Copper Marans sweet gentleman looking for a new home. This rooster has great bloodlines from Alchemist Farm, https://www.alchemistfarm.com/black-copper-marans/, guaranteed to be from an egg 6 or darker. Located in East Bay, California.

Did you find a home for them?

It's a super long-shot, I know but, is there anyone in the area that also has a Marek's-positive flock and is either breeding for resistance, or just wants a pretty cockerel without risking exposing any new chicks to Marek's?

I have a lovely Lavender Ameraucana x Brahma ("sage egger") 4 mo cockerel from the Peninsula Feed Store but I can't legally keep him. He was vaccinated at 4 days (not within the recommended 36h post-hatch), and has been asymptomatic thus far, but must be considered a Marek's carrier (we lost one hen last month to Marek's - she's the only one to show any symptoms thus far).

- In Oakland and willing to drive 1h or so to meet up.

Oops - I thought I included location but apparently I forgot! I will add that - I'm in Oakland.

Do you ever come South?

Do you ever come South?

Not with any regularity, but I would be happy to plan a trip down. I have people in the South Bay that I should see more often than I do anyway.
