Where is the Washington State thread? I've searched this site for anything Washington and this one is the only one that comes up.

We are retired, looking for a farm-y location, more western. Like I said, Oly, Lacey, Tumwater, maybe Shelton, Pt. Orchard. We are waiting for our "ducks" to get in their row, which should be sometime this week, then we will know for sure. However, knowing the issue with living within city...

Yep, she's all that's left of our Cali Flock. We will be repopulating a flock when we get to Washington. We have been on a strict no new pet policy for over a year knowing this move was coming. (Our zoo contains, Miss Lindsay, a beardie named Queen Leo, six cats and four cockatiels) First off...

My Lindsay will fight our cat for a mouse. lololol

We are looking at Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and North from there. Some of the homes we have looked at have existing coops. I'd like to be able to have a rooster or two as they really help take care of their girls.

Hey, y'all! We will be heading up to Thurston County from California (shhh, don't tell anyone) within the next few months. Any advice? We are bringing our one girl with us as we have been on a very strict no new pets rule for the last year knowing we'd be moving. We only have our one Delaware...

My EE that I have left is a kook. There is a reason my hubby named her Phyllis Diller. She and my Delaware (lindsey lohan - lol) both peck at my hubby and I until we pick them up, carry them around, and pet them. Of course, telling them how pretty they are all the time. lol

The regular watermelon is what my girls love. They pick out all the seeds first then eat the flesh. lol

I don't think she's laid in a while, but your right, it takes me longer to get over stuff. She's still feisty though. lol Eating like crazy and bonks her sister on the head when they get in her way. So, as long as she's still letting us know that she's in charge, I'm good. lol

I switched to the higher protein for the summer since it's hot and they don't eat as much. I may keep them on it year round. Since only two are still laying (I think) and I don't have them for eggs really now, just my babies, I'd rather them be healthy. I still offer oyster shell to them also.

No, just looking into ways to make them more comfy. It's one of my red sex links that seems to be aging faster than the others. But she's still eating like a champ.

Hope all is okay. Take care of you and your babies.

"Well, doc, it was either me or the chicken." - said to the urgent care doc when I had to go in for x-rays and ended up with a broken elbow because I fell in the yard while carrying one of my girls and rolled to the opposite side so I didn't land on her. lol I did, however, land on the pocket...

As my girls start aging, I'm finding that some breeds age faster than others. My EE and Delaware are all over the place, laying and living it up, but my RRs are aging quicker it seems. They are all just over 3 years old. Only a couple are still laying, but that's ok, we love our featherbutts...

OMG, my girls go nuts for it. I read on another blog about freezing it and giving it to them on really hot days. My girls stick their beaks up at anything frozen so I just do really cold refrigerated now. But they go nuts. After they have demolished the pieces, I put water in the rinds and they...
