California - Northern

[ronott1]

Well well this is how some people in the area faired the wind storm :/ Poor little town of Nice. I am grateful it wasn't that bad here... and all my chickens are still fine. We found a hurt sparrow in the pen.... I found a safe place to tuck him into. His wings were working. I just think he was exhausted.

The boys are gathering to go get my friends tractors out of the hanger that collapsed.

icky mean wind, glad its gone.

Shocking!

I read an article in the Woodland Paper--3 people died in Northern CA from the storm. It moved on into Nevada and Snowed! It is now moving towards the East Coast and will get there later this week.

They better hold on too!

such craziness! and sorry to see so much damage -- i feel very lucky that only one big tree came down, and it fell perfectly so as not to cause damage. but no question, the winds were up in the same speeds as tropical storms -- just no rain!

Quote: I am glad it was a dry storm. The water damage would have been so much worse!

so i have a question: now that Max (formerly the dominant rooster, 2.5 yrs old) is no longer here, i've let the whole gang out to free range together a few times -- and while my next in line, the 6 month old birchen marans Jack, is quite courtly with the girls he shares a coop with, he chases the older hens WILDLY, and they run from him as if he was the bobcat. will they eventually calm down and get along? should i try him in the same pen as the older hens, or will trouble ensue? i'd eventually like to move him into that pen, along with a few younger marans girls, to leave the other pen to my isbar Blue...

The Nt. Weather Service said a small Tornado went through Nice. My H is in insurance and they had the Catastrophic Claims adjusters in town. Wild winds.

Give him time. They will accept him unless something really odd happens.

Edith has decided she'd rather be a teenage mother than lay eggs...



She just started laying a few weeks ago, but now she's taken to sitting on golf balls. I locked her in a wire bottomed cage for three days, but she's back at it now that I've put her back in the coop.

She is very pretty!

I have had some do that. Many times they just stop setting on them after a week or so.

Take the golf balls away for a bit and collect the eggs ASAP.
