We're all doing well. Broke but the bills are paid, animals fed, food on the table, and a roof over our heads! Girls are healthy, and very demanding of time. lol My DH has managed to keep himself out of trouble. Still working for myself, just went back to work after a month long forced vacation, we didnt go anywhere though. Well we did go to my brother wedding out in Port Orchard. That was nice, and I wish I still had CGG's number, my brother lives 2 miles away from her. Could have stopped in and said hello.

BTW, what is the closest hatchery to Washington? I don't want my peeps travelling too far since I'm looking for started pullets instead of chicks to begin with. 

Welcome to the thread. I hope you feel free to jump in and join us. 

 

 

I believe that the closest hatchery is Dunlap in Idaho. I also believe that they are the hatchery that had a problem with Salmonella this year. But I haven't confirmed that, and as far as I know all chickens carry Salmonella. They don't have a very large selection of breeds though. 

 

I bought my meat birds from this hatchery this year. http://www.schlechthatchery.com/   I have never been happier with the quality of chicks. The chicks were the healthiest  and most robust chicks I have ever bought. Most of the time it doesn't seem to make a huge difference with shipping distances. The only hatchery I has super happy with was one in Texas.

That's funny!  I wouldn't be surprised if it was made by a kid, or someone trying to learn to crochet.  lol.png

Not sure which hatchery is closest but lots of folks here could probably set you up with started pullets.

Let's just hope that my 2 newest silkie babies, the porcelain and buff, are girls! I'm over run with cockerels here!

Hmmm, I realize of the six Ameraucanas I bought at the poultry show in March, four were boys too! It will be interesting to see if my Silkies are the same. I'll just be annoyed if I don't get a single blue female out of the bunch! rant.gif
