Hi and welcome!
I also live in Surf city and for chickens, Midway City Feed Store is the closest. Just off Beach blvd. let me know if you bought some chicks.
Oh, I loved that picture of your little biddy asleep in his feeding dish! I chuckled so loud when I saw it!! Reminded me of years ago, when my cousin past out at the cornor, neighborhood bar!! But your birdy is SO much cuter!! Keep up the stories and pictures!.
Coastal Beach City here. Checking in. I have been wanting to extend our pet family by adding two or three chickens.
I do work fulltime and don't know if I would be neglecting my chickens. That is my main worry... although we have
two dogs and a bird that seem well fed and loved in our family...
I also live in Southern Californina, that information about the Humane Society was great! I live in Orange County and hope they will do the same for FREE. Although, we have rats too. Just caught another one last night. Those are small enough to throw them in the trash cans. If you can...
