Modesto here, where y'all from

Hi @coby fiji do you have pictures of your chickens?

I am in Woodland.

Wish we had  a drop here.  I will have to check out the process at Skyway Feed.   They can be very frustrating to buy from though.  They are often out of stuff and I end having to go to Chico to buy feed.  I have looked for feed the last couple of times I have been to Costco in Chico and have not been able to find it here.  They only seem to carry it when they also have the chicken coops.  I don't remember seeing any in the Chico store this year


Ron...do you have any pictures of your Arkansas Blues?.  I was given a chick by someone a month or so back and cannot tell which one it is now that they are older.  I am afraid I may have gotten it mixed up with some of my others and sold it!

really cute chicks

Loving this thunder storm anyone right underneath it?

I wish! We may get some later this afternoon. Hopefully there will be rain with it if we do.

Quote: Thanks! I agree. I may let them out of the pen this weekend when it cools down more so I can supervise.

If she is hurting the other one, you could try pinless peepers:

egg cartons.com has them but you can get them from other places:

it seems she has stopped, maybe a "pecking order struggle"

But thank you

It was probably pecking order. If not, keep the peepers in mind.

We ran away from the heat today, Fog bank out over the ocean and a little breeze-heavenly! Watched the osprey fishing for their young, seals playing in the surf, a couple surf fishing, I think the cormorants were helping them. Half hour from home at 6:00-temp of 106°, all right all ready!

You probably drove right past me, then, unless you headed towards Brookings once you hit 101 Except for a couple of hours, I've been in the fireworks booth next to Dutch Brothers in Crescent City since 8 am.

I thought of you Amy.
We take North Bank Road into Smith River. I first met Eric at the bug station there and there is a nice beach there by the Nautical Inn for the dog to play on.
