Hi Sherry,

To answer your question most people have 2 freezers and fridges and a large pantry of sorts. Costco and Cash and Carry are your friends. I go grocery shopping in bend about once a month. That is why i got chickens... so I dont run out of eggs! haha

Yep my husband and I run cows right next to it. I grew up here and know most everyone.

Watching my 6-week-old chicks (are they still chicks?) frolic in the sun and grass in their outdoor playpen is such a joy. Happy Spring! They've already created a little dust-bath area, so cute!!!

That is cute to see!  And yes they are still chicks.  Just beware having chicks that young on the ground...I learned that lesson a couple years ago when I lost my favorite young cockerel to coccidiosis.  The Pac NW is so wet, it thrives in the soil here. ;)

In Portland here, and just curious, to those of you who live in the cities, what do you do with your roosters? They're illegal where I live and I really don't know what to do with them. Last year we got so many roos and a sanctuary took them all, but now we would just feel bad giving the roos to the same sanctuary, what with crowding and stuff.

my new rule: If one's a roo, replace it with two!

Great Mother's day.  Finally convinced DH I truly did just want to finish my chicken yard (as my gift) with the chainlink panels I found.  Now my flock is all merged in their 8x8 coop with their 6x30 yard and looking happy.  That then meant I could clean out the duckling brooder and merge ducks in their 4x8 coop and 10x10 yard.  All seemed so much happier, we now have 2 big pens to feed (instead of 4 random ones).  Made my Mother's day happy and kids got to play with chickens.  highfive.gif

 "God feeds the birds but he doesn't throw it into the nest"

Blessed with a wonderful spouse and kids along with a multitude of animals.  My chickens are mostly blue copper marans but a few "fun" ones and my dd lavender bantam ameracauna's and serama's as well. I also really enjoy my saxony ducks and call ducks.

There is a guy named Pete, who owns Oregon Peeps. He works out of the Urban Farm Store on Belmont. He will take roos and rehome them. It is his business. Call the UFS and ask when he will be there and you can drop them off.

I also use Craigslist to rehome roos.

Hi Sherry, I'm all the way up on the north end, takes my 15 minutes just to get off the ranch!  But it's quiet up at this end.
