I'm another one from Davis! I'm so glad we're allowed to have chickens in town. I have 2 young EE hens, and one that's, gosh, I don't know how old she is, 5? 6? and she doesn't really lay many eggs anymore. I've been hatching chicks in the classroom for years. This year I have 5 x 4 day old chicks. 3 EE, and 2 unknown from brown eggs from the CETA Foundation in Vacaville.
They'll all be going home with one of the students, who's mom is already looking forward to fresh eggs. We have staff and many in the community outside city limits who'll take the roos. Last year, my neighbor took our girls!
I'm currently fixing up a large rabbit cage to attach to my coop. My 3 girls free range in my backyard during the afternoons. I just bought myself a Genesis 1588 incubator, and looking to hatch some of those dark, dark, chocolate Marin eggs soon!
Chickens are really my FAVORITE pet!
