    Bakersfield, CA Legalization Effort

    That coop is beautiful! To clarify, this letter doesn’t mean chickens are not allowed. The ordinance allowing them is still in effect. The only way chickens won’t be allowed is if the city repeals or if a judge orders the city to repeal.

    Bakersfield, CA Legalization Effort

    Please be advised that this reply is not legal advice, I am just telling you what this letter will mean in my experience. Basically, a bunch of people are planning to sue the city for not paying for an environmental analysis before they passed this ordinance. The CEQA is a state law that...

    Hen lethargic and not eating after first egg

    Post-vet update! She has pox, an upper respiratory infection, and coccidiosis. Poor girl just can’t catch a break. Treatment is tylan, amprolium, and eyedrops. Here is a picture of her poop for reference:

    Hen lethargic and not eating after first egg

    No lesions inside the beak I can see when I looked with a flashlight. I’ve been trying different combos of treats and regular feed separately and together intermittently, it’s just so hard to see her uninterested in eating.

    Hen lethargic and not eating after first egg

    They get chick starter with free choice oyster shell and grit. She has not eaten her regular food since this started. She has laid a normal egg every day. Her crop is empty. I didnt manage to get any picture of the poop but here is the saddest girl:

    Red(Bloody?) Poo in Brooder

    Instructions will likely tell you to mix it in their water. Just follow the instructions and you will be fine. Make sure the chicken who is a little less peppy drinks—if she has stopped drinking by herself, you may need to get a dropper and force her to.

    Chip Drop in the RUN! Show me your runs!!

    I have chipdrop in my run! I love it—we have clay soul that turns into the stickiest mud in the world after it rains, so the wood chips have been fantastic. However, we didn’t have drainage problems to begin with; despite the muck, standing water would go away quickly after the rain. I would...

    Cockroaches in coop

    I scare up 4-5 cockroaches in the coop every time I change the bedding, and everyone has a great time going after them. As long as the interior is dry and poop isn't allowed to build up a couple of bugs aren’t a problem.
