Doing good, I am living in Ireland now but still lurking here, haha! Miss California ❤️☀️

I used to bring mine to Saba Live Poultry in Oakland

I have a 2 month-old rooster that needs rehoming also if anyone is able to take him. He is a black Orpington with a few red feathers (mixed with Partridge). He has grown a lot since these pics; should be very large.

Not that I know of but I would go. I have heard there used to be a NorCal meet up somewhere in the central valley but the woman who used to do it has not had it for a few years.

Haha! I sold her 3 chickens last Spring.

Yes, she has a daughter in the 3rd grade.

I can't remember the name of her neighborhood but it is near that pizza place called Nonno's; have you heard of that place? I want to say Redwood something?

Hi Mic, I have a friend who lives near you. It's a nice neighborhood but I am afraid to drive on the windy roads. :-) Welcome to the thread!

:welcome Wish I could take your cockerel but I have 7 chicks right now & I think 4 of them are boys (at least!) so I am in the same situation. I have had good luck using craigslist to rehome roosters. Good luck! I am in Santa Clara, btw, so not too far from you. :)

Good to know! Hope it works out for us when we do it. That pic is awesome!

Welcome! That's good to know that your labs get along with the hens. We are thinking of getting a dog next year & my kids love labs but I was afraid they would chase the chickens. Did you do anything to train them to leave the chickens alone?

Welcome! Your cat is hilarious! Looks like she is really enjoying the chickens.

I have 2 Bielefelder cockerels that need homes but I am keeping them around a bit longer. I want their sister to get more integrated with the rest of the flock before I take her brothers away. (She is really timid). Will let you know when I am ready to give them up though. They are gorgeous...

I go to this vet: http://santaclarapethospital.com The guy vet whose name I forget has chickens himself. They are pretty pricey but I guess that is the same with all vets.

My Bielefelder hatch didn't go that well; only got 3 chicks out of 12 eggs, and 2 of them are male. Oh well, at least I got one pullet to keep. I guess it just means I have to hatch again in the Fall. :-) Definitely want to get some more bantam Orps in the future....

One of my splash hens suddenly dropped dead last week with no warning. Very sad. :-( The black one is broody right now & will hopefully be hatching Bielefelders next week. Would love some more bantam Orps, though, they are my favorites. Maybe in the Fall I will get some more....I am ready for...

You could try the Northern California board; I think a few people are hatching there right now. I am hatching Bielefelders next week but I plan on keeping the pullets.

No advice really but have a look around the site; there is so much information here. Good luck; you will love having chickens! Tell your wife how much better the eggs taste from your own hens!

Sounds like a lovely place! Welcome.

I live in Santa Clara which might be too far for you but you are welcome to come by here if you want.
