There is a huge difference between allowing 10 hens, and having hundreds. I am asking that the code be changed to allow residents to keep a few hens (no roosters). They would still be regulated under the city codes for smell, noise, waste, ect. Just like dogs and cats. I'm hoping for a happy...

Another letter to the City
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to request the City Council/ City planning board revise the current Citrus Heights City Code to allow residents in single family homes to keep chickens. The current city code includes fowl/poultry in the ordinance for keeping...
Hey guys,
I haven't been on in a bit, and I thought I'd check in. After all the original drama -- The Code enforcement, City Council meetings, ect. -- I still have my chickens. Code enforcement did not (ever) come out to re-inspect, and I haven't had any other issues. We did have an...
Holy Cow (or goat)!! That is the saddest goat story I've ever heard. . I hope you have better luck with your other animals. Like Kenny says: "You've got to know when to hold 'em --
Know when to fold 'em --Know when to walk away--And know when to run"

I would guess that he has an impacted crop then. That's what happened with poor Ugly. I noticed that her crop looked full, but didn't really think anything of it, until I picked her up one day, and she was really, really thin. Poor thing. There are a couple posts on here about how to do a...
Poor thing. . How old is he? I was thinking some form of heart failure, but I looked it up, and it could be a bunch of things. His poor eyes look swollen too.
I've had 2 hens with an impacted crop. I didn't catch the first one in time, and she died. I was going to attempt crop surgery for...
...The air cells are dipping down, and I can see them moving through the air cell, but no internal pip yet.
I asked this a couple weeks ago, and was told that with a wiggler you want the temp to be 99.5. That's what the internal temp *should* be. The wiggler mimics the inside of the egg.
The problem is BLRW include Black laced red, blue laced red, and splash laced red. You could get any of them as BLRW's.
Breeding 2 BLRW:
Blue X Blue = 25% Black, 50% Blue, 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash X Splash = Splash
Here is a link where they go more into the...
Cute!! I think I have some of their brothers and sisters. You got these from Papa Brooder, right? The first two look like Black Laced Red, Not sure on #3. Cute chicks!!
I had issues like that with a hatch a couple weeks ago. The chicks were sticky and had yellowish goo all over. They also had the clear thick "gel" at the bottom of the egg. After researching I thought it was left over albumin. I think most of my issues are from not turning enough. --which I...
