Happy to hear that about Rudy. DH has to check the eyes of the Silkies every morning & clears a crusty eye or two every morning. The Santa Ana Winds sometimes blow in dry air or else a broody gets a crusty morning eye or two, He checks them every morning for years cuz of that tendency.
I say, you should bill the city of Santa Ana for the damage done to your property and/or chooks, by the Santa Ana winds!
I live in an area where poisonous chemicals are introduced to crops. The fog keeps the chemicals close to the ground, making all my pets suffer. I suffer too. But I just don’t have the money to buy every acre of land around me. I wish I could.
We all have such different interesting lives/challenges. We'd be dull & complacent zombies w/o those challenges to strengthen us. Sharing that info encourages others they're not alone w/ problems. Just sharing about our chickens comforts us to know others are facing similar issues w/ their birds.
It's said packed crowded rats turn on each other w/ ferocity. Same can be said about humans in packed cities not getting along. I miss the isolation of farm life.
Can't get away from chemicals of one kind or another. Chem trails ~ who knows what's falling from them on us here. Around 1980's a small plane crashed into a Cerritos neighborhood & destroyed 5 homes w/ensuing fire. Can't imagine the chemical fumes from that incident. Then there's food chems too.
Oh, how close you actually are to me. I could drive down the hill and meet with you both. Face to face, I would love to have you convince me to change my convictions. Only a four hour drive actually
I’ll bring my Bible
The crash was from a training accident from Fullerton airport. I have used that airport often to get access to Orange County.
Ps. If you eat almonds, oranges, walnuts, and pomegranates you have been exposed to the same chemicals I have described.
