my white leghorn suddenly died last month at about age 4 or 5. I feel like white leghorns are really fragile due to what they're bred for....

I feel the same. My Gucci was only 3. I thought she might be molting, but no. That is the part about having pets that is so hard. Hugs to you for the loss of your girl.

Hello and Welcome to the Nor. Cal Thread! 

Near San Francisco counts as Nor Cal.  We are spread all the way past the Oregon border down through Central Cal (for some of us), I think its a state of mine, instead of a location...  I am in the Foothills by Jackson, California.

We are in Placerville but moving a little south west over by hwy88, near Pioneer. Its closer to Jackson. I will follow you.

I am near San Francisco, i think that's northern California. But that probably didn't help.

Welcome! I am near Placerville but moving soon
You will find everyone here very nice and helpful.

I have a Pita Pinta Story.

Yesterday I was reaching into the Brooder and one of the 12 week old Pita Pinta cockerels bit my hand. As soon as he bit me, his brother bopped him in the comb, telling him to knock that off! It was amazing how young and smart these guys are.

The one that was scolded by his brother ran from me when I tried to touch him, so he got the message. This morning there were no pecks of bites to my hand from the EO Basque and Pita Pintas in that Brooder.

Haha that's funny! I always think how cute it is when the roosters show the hens food. Smart!

That's a cool story

My Mottled Java source is a no go right now. Poor gal is experiencing flooding. Pretty sure she is a single mom and she is also a war vet who operates her ranch where she runs churro-navajo sheep and Dexter Cattle. Anyway she is a little occupied with lifeand weather and so I told her not to worry about the eggs. I will get them the next broody go around. Pretty stoked because she has been working with the ALBC on the MJ restoration project. It will be good to get some of her birds when I get em.

I did win an auction for Silver Penciled Wyandotte eggs which are being shipped to me within the hour

Should I check air cells when I get them home or should I wait until they warm up? Also she is sending a dozen though the auction was for 8 Should I give my girl all 12 if they are all good or should I just give her 10?
