California - Northern

[LightedPrism]

Yeah, I got to talk to prism about my personal experiences with her prob. That was a nice surprise to see someone near me in this thread.

definitally nice to see someone nearby!! and im seriously close to shasta county its almost annoying! you know the bridge that seperates the two counties? im off bowman. *sigh* but thank you for the information! i did bring the coop size down to the 120sqft so should be ok.

Yes! Bowman's right across the 5 from where my grandma is. I'm sorry you had to bring the coop size down. I just noticed you have Faverolles! I love them, but thought I might not be able to get them because they're supposed to not be great at evading preds and foraging. Do you happen to trim their muffs? I thought that might be a solution to that problem, but didn't know if it would work.

Yeah, i need to see if there is a limit to how many building's we can have that are 120 sq ft. because i may just add a 2nd one if i need it. goes around their 'lovely' bids for $$$

I dont trim their muffs, and these guys are still pretty young. not even laying yet. though you are welcome to come see them / meet with them. i think they are some of the funniest birds / chickens I've Ever seen! Lol and honestly im not super worried predator wise. with 11 acres and already have seen bobcats and cougars, they will be in a coop / run combo 24/7 i tried to make it as predator proof as possible.

Just wondering, is the Bay Area considered part of Northern California?

It is in the upper half!

So... what's this thread about?

So... what's this thread about?

Mostly about things that apply to us here in California. Finding homes for chickens, What to do in bad weather and etc.

Ok, usually, what's the fine for not owning a permit? Or what is the fine in Cupertino?

That is a good question!

It seems like the fine is dependent on location and the violation.

I have not had to pay a fine in Woodland.

The limit is ten where I am, so hopefully you'll be able to!

I would love to come see them sometime! (and you of course) We had a cougar growl at us on our land, but we haven't seen him yet.
I thought I posted this awhile ago.-_-
