I'm in Northern Humboldt Co. We're kinda isolated up here. A lot of Oregon is closer and easier to get to than most of CA.
Any more chicken keepers around here?

I guess that clears that up:/ . At least Australia's got two!

I'm sure someone in your area will pop in.

I'm in CA, but I'm down a few hours from you in the Stockton-Modesto area.

Beautiful area you live in up there!

I'm in the Bay Area... which I call Northern California. You should see the debate on another thread regarding where the north / central / south dividing lines are.

when I lived in Sacramento it was generally referred to as "Northern Ca" to distinguish it from LA I guess. I should just have said I live about 70 miles south of the OR border. I went to high school in Oakland and grew up in Sacto, my family lives there for the most part. None of them keep chickens to my knowledge, -sad, very sad.

One thing about my cool summers here in Humboldt is I can use my old tomato greenhouse as a passively heated chickencoop without it overheating, although global warming may change that soon...
Still looking forward to more replies...

-Black silkie, 2 Golden Sebright bantams, 1 -? buff colored millefleur bantam, =4 banty hens.

I'm from Humboldt Co and I miss it very much! I'd love to hear if you're in the Eureka/Arcata area or whereabouts...

I'm in Humboldt! I'm born & raised here, and have lived in almost every town in Northern Humboldt. Glad to see someone else here from Humboldt County as well!

Hey, I'm in Delnorte, in Hiouchi! I am so glad to find someone so nearby. Usually when people say Northern California they don't really mean it. You can't get much more northern than this.

i live in Tarzana, California - in Los Angeles County. i grew up in Sacramento. When i moved to West Sacramento in Yolo county 20 years ago i got my first chickens. Went to the feed store for cat food and came home with two RIR hens and a White Crested Black Polish Rooster that layed an egg after 8 months. After moving from there i never thought i would have chickens again until i checked the zoning here to find i could have them. Now happily raising two ameraucana hens, 13 silkie chicks, and 3 frizzle x with polish, silkie and mille fleur babies (very curious as to how they will look when grown).

Humboldt County is loverly. Would not mind retiring there.
