Can anyone give advice on what they use for the floor of the run? We have a large coop and an enclosed run that is partly cement and dirt. I only have 3 birds, but the smell is pretty strong. Should I put sand down? They have hay in the coop.

I have sand, and I can't smell anything. (I should ask the neighbors on this.) I have a sifting shovel that works just like a kitty litter scoop.

Hi All!! I desperately need to get rid of a bunch of roosters. Is anyone interested in smooth Frilkies (splash), Speckled Sussex, A white silkie, A black silkie, Heritage RIR Golden Sebrights, bantam EE and a bunch of others.

Your birds are beautiful! If I had more experience I would consider. I saw there are quite a few people on this site from here in so cal. I'm sure you'll find someone soon.

I did see on the last page of thread. I can tell sex of chicken someone asking about roosters.

Any La Crescenta Chicken owners here? Its fun to see how many of us chicken owners are in town.

Key word: CUT fruit and veggies! My piggie, Ms Mabel got into a bag of grapes a few days ago and now has a blocked crop! trying to squish grapes inside a bird from the outside was a new experience for me just now. poor girl!

Thanks for the ideas!!!

I never thought about that with the grapes. That's really good to note!

Thanks for the great ideas!

Hello fellow southern Californians! I'm new to the site as a whole and in my intro thread it was suggested I find my state. So, here I am! (you can find that intro here if you're interested!)

I'm in Pine Valley, VERY "SoCal" as we're only about 20 miles from the border (if that). And we're 45 miles east of San Diego (I've found even local folks aren't always familiar with PV!). Right now we're enjoying our first CA summer.....hot as heck and nary a drop of rain in sight!

My girls -- a Blue Andalusian, a Golden Polish, and a Black Australorp -- are 13 weeks old and growing quickly. Looking forward to eggs sometime this fall!
