And The Roost of Washington both show local birds for sale/ trade.

FB has two pages you should look into Western Washington Poultry and

Someone from a blog used the bendy part of a bendy straw to create a led brace for her chick. It's an idea.

. . Been super busy at our house. Added these three lovely ducks to our flock and the chicks are now 6 weeks old and getting huge. So much fun! Next is to get something planted. Not sure what yet but something. Lol

Anyone here raise ducks? My DH has been talking about looking into ducks. He read something about them being quieter and having more frequent and bigger eggs than chickens. Also the idea of being able to have a drake and raising eggs or ducklings would be a bonus. We can't have roosters cause...

I've got one that's a good mom but only if shes been broody. Which usually only happens when I don't need her too. Lol

So I just got my new Brinsea EcoGlow20 today. I already love it. I've had a heat lamp the past year but always worried it would fall or the kids would burn themselves on it. I worry no longer the EcoGlow is awesome. My chicks are loving it too..

Anyone in kitsap county have any EE chicks 4-7 days old. Just got some light Brahams and a gold Wyandotte chick and wanna add a few EEs to this small flock.

Does anyone know if Cream Legbars are slow to mature? I started this experiment with this breed this summer I really wanted blue eggs. So we went from hatching eggs, to chicks (only ending up with one girl and 3 boys), to pullets, to putting the boys in the freezer to now the hen is 21 weeks...

Ugh! So now all the flock is taking turns bullying "Mable" around. They bully the cockerels a little but not like Mable. I've considered moving her and her brothers to the old coop to give them some space. But I'm nervous about moving her with three cockerels. Should I look into getting...

I didn't know there was a Washington facebook page. I've been on the backyard chickens general one but didn't know there was a Washington one.

Does anyone have any suggestions where I can get a Brinsea Mini Advance Incubator? My DH doesn't thing we will be hatching often enough to pay full price for one. But I really want one. So has anyone had success finding used ones for a good price.

Tried to gets few photos of the chicks since its been a few weeks since I've taken any but the hens weren't willing to share the limelight. #DivaHens I did manage one photo of one of the cockerels.
