San Diego Chicken meetup and Chat thread

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

@ DF: Mine is SUCH a good mother and very protective too, I saw her chase away a giant squirrel that was after her babies!

Oh and I JUST saw the mealworm in your pic SOOOO cute!!!


@Sunny: Yes my incubator is just sitting here now empty waiting for my Ameraucanas to start laying (which will be a little while), maybe we can work something out?


Can't wait 'till my Ameraucana roosters start "doing the deed" with all my ladies then I can hatch and have some cool Olive/ Green egger chickens!

Oh and anyone coming should bring hats, sunscreen & bug spray too...

I have not been on for a while, looks like everyone including myself are having lots of chicks.

I don't think I seen too many chicken at the Del Mar fair last year, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough, I will go and see what is there this year and may get some different kind of chicks later.

Here is a real good deal for an oil change ($10 ea. time) if anyone is interested. I got a couple last year and it only cost me $60 to change the oil 3 times for both cars, the place I went to even gave me a free car wash each time but I am not sure if they would all do it.

Good to know! Thanks!

I called Escondido Feed and they told me they only carry Ace Hi brand?! I asked if they happened to have any bags anyway and they said nope, they don't carry it

 

[igotchickens]

Does anyone know where to buy organic feed anywhere near Poway, Ramona, Julian, Escondido? Or anywhere I guess, I just really need some since it doesn't look like there's a MM order for now and I'm all out. Or else if anyone has a bag of MM feed lay crumble, I could really use it! Or is anyone ready for another order?
