You can spread out from that search. The zip code, if you have a preferred Real Estate lookup, is 95684. Other "cities" in the same area are Fairplay, Mt. Aukum, and Omo Ranch. That's as "up here" as you can get. There are some lower priced properties of an acre or more, but they may be in pretty crappy shape. Or not.

Here are my six hatched chicks. One of them is not like the other....

These photos were taken the instant I set all chicks down in the temporary brooder. They aren't accustomed to the EcoGlo unit yet. (I have pushed them under its shelter.) They are currently wobbling around underneath there.

.

I needed to move them out of the incubator, but haven't got the ginormous brooder set up outside in the coop, yet. And this is their first night!! You know!!!

(I posted this in the 3rd Annual NYD Hatch thread, also. These are the chicks from the eggs I procured for that event, but set them four days late. TODAY is Day 21 and I always wait until Day 25 before I stop waiting for more chicks.)

These are Buff Orps and a Black Australorp (according to the marks on the eggs). Three more have hatched overnight! Two more BOs and another BA; they'll have to stay in the 'bator until I get home from work today.

Nine chicks - woo hoo!

Congrats on the chickies Linda. I'm so glad you still have your birds.

OMG!

OMG! I left for work at 5 a.m. when there were six chicks in the brooder and three chicks just hatched in the same incubator from whence came the first six. I CAME HOME TO CHICKS IN ALL THREE 'BATORS!!!

They are STILL hatching!!! There were more than six in one of the other two incubators and four in the third 'bator. And the original unit had SIX more chicks, not three!!

Where is the (like) button!

MOST of them are huddled under the EcoGlow. One of the BOs first hatched is already in charge of the brooder! Bet it's a roo. It charged my hand when I was putting chick starter in a dish inside the brooder!
