Cluck if you are from the San Francisco Bay Area

Hi, we live in concord and recently (beginning of summer) became new chicken owners. We have 4 girls and 2 boys. They all are cukoo marans.
We are having a blast with them and are looking to find a local group for fun and maybe even a coop tour or two....

I don't know of a bay area chicken group - is there one?

 

[jaybme]

Yes, many I think. Two I belong to are yahoo groups. One is California and one is Silicon Valley area.

SVChickens (do a yahoo group search if this url does not work)
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/svchickens/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=1

and the yahoo california group is more widespread-

They are fine, but not the wealth of info like BYC!

If you're ever in Petaluma, there's Rivertown Feed & Pet Country Store. I've been there once and I was really impressed. Nice people and the place is pretty huge.

I'm getting a Jelly Belly craving
