CALIFORNIA The Whole State thread

[ronott1]

Yea good news is a couple others and myself are going to be leading the poultry program at the highschool (nobody else has interest in chickens) so we are going to try and certify the school to be organic poultry, and we are going to take care of their farm and teach about poultry to classes when we can. But until someone who is in highschool is willing to take care of the chickens I am able to stay a bit longer. They want to find someone else soon too

Yea everything is getting real expensive specially since the minimum wage just went up. I hope to find a job once in out of college so I can try for a home with a bit of space for chickens. Even if I was able to keep 5 chickens including 1-2 roosters I would be soo greatful. I live in a town where there is mainly packing houses and feild work. And the homes in the country have tons of land but very expensive too. It would be nice if there were smaller pieces of property more affordable.

I hope you are successful getting the organic poultry certification.

Hopefully, we are going to start off new birds with organic feed and take eggs to farmers market as organic fed and try to certify as soon as we can.

Hi There Everyone. I'm new to this thread, but not new to BYC. I'm in beautiful uptown Bodfish. Of course no-one knows where Bodfish is. I'm next to the Sequoia National Park with 25 chickens, and 17 turkies (for now). Anyone nearby?

Looks like a nice place.

I am from Tehama County so I have not heard of Bodfish. It is very far from there.

Post pictures!

I've never heard of it either, although for most of my life, if it wasn't in the Bay Area I had no idea where anything was LOL

Welcome to the thread BTW

Go to Bakersfield and head east an hour up the mountain along the Kern river. Lovely place to visit when the lake is full which may happen again sometime around 2020.
