Bay Area BYCers!

I don't know if this has been done already but,

Hello to all who live in the Bay Area!

Let's use this thread as a place to chat, post pics of our urban (or not-so-urban) flocks, share info on where to buy feed/supplies, and etc.

I'm Jeremy, from Oakland. I recently purchased a home here in the city and will be expanding my flock to 32 in the next couple of months. I've currently got Delawares, Buff Orpingtons, Australorps and a Cuckoo Marans roo. I'll be adding heritage Delawares, more Buffs and 'Lorps, BW Ameraucanas, a White Leghorn, a Black Minorca, a Golden Laced Polish and a few Silkies to my flock this spring. (don't worry, fuzz butt pictures are guaranteed.)

I got my 1st shot of Pfizer vaccine yesterday afternoon the 2nd one will be may 1st.
The experience was fairly straightforward and quick.
I didn't feel a thing and had zero side effects.

Let's revive this thread!

Yes, he's still a young roo. He is in an enclosure all by himself, but he can see a couple other quail in the cage next to him. We only have two roos total, and culling is not an option.

Hi Bay Area! Just found this thread... I'm in Campbell.
I have two RSL, one is 10 years old and the other is almost a year old. Then I have five, 5 week old chicks. Three Olive Eggers and a couple Cuckoo Marans; one looks like it'll be have a white blonde head with black & white barring, and the other may be lightly white barred but mostly black. The Olive Eggers look like a Cuckoo Maran & EE mix. I don't know much about Cuckoos except that mine are spoiled and opinionated! The three OEs have muffs, white legs with a little black barring and feathers. It should be interesting.

Hey everyone! I am up in Berkeley and looking to rehome my three buff orpingtons because unfortunately I am going to be moving out of the state.

They were all raised together and are 10 months old. They are in excellent health and great egg layers if you like fresh eggs! They usually spend half of the day in the coop, and half of the day free ranging so they're used to both the indoors and outdoors.

Also I noticed a few people from Palo Alto are around which is cool! I went to Terman (now Fletcher) Middle School and Gunn. I visit family in Palo Alto often so if anyone in Palo Alto would like to rehome my chickens, by all means message me!

“Just” 95 here but it’s the first real heat this year and no one is used to it…
I noticed that all my young ones (13 weeks and 11 months) were panting at about 92 today, while all my old ones (3 and 6 yrs old) were fine. I guess they do get adapted to it over the years.

They’re here! Brooder got a whole lot livelier with the addition of six Basque chickies! Glad it only took them two days.

I would image the health of the person might play into dealing with side effects, but they will recover from it, and they are vaccinated, so there's a peace of mind.

Just finished (except for roof tiles) building a new walk in coop for our girls! They love the space and are laying happily in their new nesting boxes.
