I am afraid there are too many people moving chickens. Esp the cock fighting crowd. They are still having the poultry auction in escalon.

Who is it that makes the decisions for the state regarding quarantines and stuff?... I bet if she knew about the Tracy connection (if it's true) she would shut down all poultry gatherings in the county. San Mateo county cancelled the poultry show at the county fair, and that was just for the rooster going to the vet in Redwood City, where the trail ended. Too bad for the 4h kids, but I think it's a valuable lesson.

Ohhh I remember that dog. Husky ? Was very pretty. Dont they run away a lot ? just saying...

That stupid dog climbs and would probably kill my goats. I gotta take it somewhere.
I joked to my mom that I was gonna find someone to come steal it and make it look like a break in.

Speaking of pairs, did you ever retrieve your lost boot from the cow mud? I remember the cows making a deep mucky quagmire out behind the barn every winter. We didn't dare go in that. Suck you down right up to your armpits... or so we believed.


Some flowers? A nice bottle of wine?


Oh, a high maintenance female. She probably needs some chocolates too.

My dad did the other day! It weighs about 20lbs lol I left it outside to hopefully rinse off.

Is the male blowing bubbles? If not, he may kill her.

he does all the time! There is constantly a bubble nest in the tank. But she’s never got any of the stripes that supposedly they get with eggs.

March 15, 2019: One chicken, submitted to a veterinary office in Redwood City, by a backyard bird owner that lived in Alameda County, has been confirmed positive for VND and has been euthanized. At this moment, CDFA and USDA are not aware of any other cases in Northern California, but are very actively investigating.


Virulent Newcastle Disease Update: Quarantine Boundaries Modified in Southern California

SACRAMENTO, February 27, 2019 – California State Veterinarian Dr. Annette Jones today modified Southern California’s quarantine area to further restrict bird movement as work continues to eradicate virulent Newcastle disease (VND). The quarantine mandates the reporting of sick birds and prohibits poultry owners from moving birds in all of Los Angeles County, and in large areas of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

The modified quarantine extends from the northern and southern borders of western Riverside County to the Salton Sea—including the Coachella Valley—and as far east as Yucca Valley in San Bernardino County, with a northern boundary of State Route 58 at the Kern County line. The quarantine language and a map may be found at CDFA’s VND Web site.

The quarantine requires bird owners to allow diagnostic testing, to isolate poultry from other species, to cease exhibitions, to stop the shipping and receiving of birds, and to enhance biosecurity.

“By modifying the quarantine area in Southern California, we are building upon an ongoing effort to eradicate virulent Newcastle disease,” said Dr. Jones. “The primary way that VND spreads is by people moving sick birds. Extending the prohibition of bird movement across a larger area is the next logical step in being able to stop the spread of the virus and to eradicate the disease.”
