I have a shorter one in the greenhouse that just opened up a new leaf a few days ago which is mostly green. I wish the two of them would work together!

Are your chickens "under-cover"? Most cities in California prohibit residents from having farm animals, including chickens. I know of someone who had to get rid of his rooster for fear of getting turned in, even though most neighbors seemed to like them.
Thanks for all the kind comments. I live outside of Santa Barbara city limits. We are in the county. We can have the chickens. My girls (daughters) love the chickens. We feed them organic food and like clock work get eggs every day. I usually wind up bringing them to my office for my staff and clients (eggs and financial planning). We do have to keep them in a coop as we have coyotes, racoons, skunks and hawks. The hawks have tried to swoop down and take them away. My to young girls would be devistated. As you know our plan is to move to Hawaii, the chickens have Hawaiian names: Lilo, Nani, Haleakala, Momi. Yes named. They are part of our family. As for roosters. We do not have any.

My AeAe are in the ground and have two sides of shelter from the house. One is from Hawaii and the other two are California grown.
