It won't matter anyway, since CA is going to slide into the sea sooner or later.

Hurricanes, tornado's, unreasonable humidity and even earthquakes in the east.............we only have one of those natural disasters...and still have all the good birds, cuz this is the best place in the world to raise birds.

We laugh at your eastern earthquakes....hahaha I don't even move unless it feels like a 7.0 or higher.

Well, I hope all those good birds move east before CA "moves west." For preservation purposes, of course.

You all need to move here to the mountains with all your chickens, since the latest predictions are that BOTH coast lines are going under! WOOHOO! Walt on one side of me and Kathy on the other!

Wait-

That could be dangerous. What am I thinking?

The Biggle Poultry Book: This is an excellent turn of the centure treatise on raising poutlry. It would be a suitable point of departure.

The Priciples and Practice of Poultry Culture: Bob introduced us all to this book. It is the single most valuable work I've yet to read on poultry. it was wwritten to be a univerisity text. In many ways it is the apex work of a nascent modern poultry industry that still depended on quality heritage fowl. Moreover, insofar as industrial poultyr were much more of a deviation from, and not continuance of, heritage poultry culture, it's probably the single most important text for anyone to read who's thinking about entering poultry on more important scale.

The Call of the Hen: This is an excellent text for learning how to select heritage poultry for production. It obviouslt played heavily into the current ALBC model.

So I downloaded all the full pdf files for all three books. Thanks a bunch! I'm excited to start reading them
