I wish it would cool off here at night. We are probably only getting down to the high 70s - which, at the end of summer will seem downright chilly! :)

Not terribly worried - it may all have been connected to one poultry show. But, I feel terrible for those who have had to cull their entire flock. :( My heart would be broken!

All of us who have had necropsies performed by CAHFS (UC Davis) got this notice in our email. They mention quarantine after shows, etc. - but I am wondering how many diseases are "out there" for which a 30 day quarantine just isn't enough (and the diseases there is no possible way to quarantine...

They're darling! :)

Welcome to BYC!!! :) I'm north of you, but my husband grew up in Fair Oaks, with the famous Fair Oaks chicken flocks running amok in the town!

@ronott1 we will be passing by your area today - I'll wave in your general direction! :frow We've got a wedding to attend in Granite Bay this afternoon!

Welcome! Glad you joined us! Sometimes this thread is fairly quiet,sometimes it's hoppin'! I love the Santa Cruz area! When my family just needs a quick get away, we often find ourselves in that neck of the woods! :)

I even did some leghorn varieties when it was time to cull, and, although there's not a ton of meat, they were still quite good! I finally have all the cockerels I will use for breeding picked out from this year's grow outs... sometimes that process takes forever! Hoping to get everyone in their...

This one in particular, I do. She's almost Barred Rock social. Some of my others share more the leghorn personality of being a bit skittish. Sadly, I haven't worked with them a ton, but I am getting lots of eggs!

I hatched a bunch of CLs from him and they all had crests.

Our Northern California thread has been pretty quiet lately? What are y'all hatching? Growing out? I noticed today that @Papa Brooder (Papas Poultry in Redding) has a big CL ad for a bunch of his grow outs. There looks to be some very nice birds there - if you are close to the area, check it out!

You guys are not kidding about our ugly weather. We are looking at 113 today...ugh. We installed a swamp cooler in the barn and misters for the non-free-ranging grow outs. The rest of the group spends the entire time under our back deck which also has misters tacked to its underside. I think, if...

Haha - I think you're on to something. :)

It's odd, but I just had someone else tell me the same thing. I may ruffle feathers here, but the folks in charge of the 530 poultry group are a bit less likely to want to humbly exchange ideas. I like the 530 Chickens and Poultry group much better. The over all tone of that group is much more...

I wish I could! Sadly, I'm not an administrator, just a lowly group member.

There are several groups on Facebook - you could also ask there. The one I use is for the 530 area code "530 poultry", but there's probably one for folks closer to you as well!

Are any of you interested in purchasing a 55 Flowery Hen chick Trio? I have 2. One trio is 2 weeks old and I got it directly from GFF, one is about 3 weeks old, hatched from cjwaldon's flock. I may even have an extra pullet from the GFF group to make it a quartet. The GFF group were obtained...

Okay - figured it out! The first pic is a pullet, second is a cockerel.

Hopefully, if the Post Office doesn't do a serious blunder, I will have more 55Flowery Hens than I know what to do with! (I won an auction on Rare Breeds, so these are coming directly from Greenfire). I would love to sell a couple of trios (2 pullets, 1 cockerel). I'm in Redding, CA, but am...

Any ideas how to get a picture uploaded? When I get into the attach photo file, it has a "test" section but no regular "upload from device" button.
