Buffy is our only Orpington. She is independent, lower on the pecking order, but big, fluffy and likes to cluck. She lays frequently when not broody. She's my only brooder so far that I have...

These are my first chickens, gifts from a daughter for Christmas. Once they started laying, it's rare to have a day without one egg from each hen. They come when I call them, stay close to the...

I'm in TX but I'm curious about Idaho. I've thought for a while that it might be a nice place to live. How are things there? Do you all enjoy living there?
Thanks 
Tara
Idaho is a very nice place to live, once you adjust to the cold. Western Idaho is warmer than Eastern. My friends from Boise come to visit me here and freeze to death. It's very scenic here, especially if you move from Texas
I can say that, I was a Texan once!
Used to live in Soda Springs, if that counts! In New Jersey now. Very different, to say the least! JJ

Hehe, I spent most of my life up until a year ago in northern IL so the cold doesn't really bother me. I don't care very much for ice and deep snow though. I always got the impression that southern ID had a more temperate climate - is that true?
Woah JJ - that's a big change - from little Soda Springs to NJ? From the map, Soda Springs looks like a little tiny town, kinda isolated. I guess you were perhaps an hour away or so from Pocatello? From what I've heard Pocatello is really nice - but starting to be discovered by the Hollywood types.
One of the reasons ID appeals to me is lots of space and parkland for recreation. I love to trail-run and hike so of course ID looks great to me.
What is Boise like?
Southwestern Id has a more temperate climate. Eastern gets warm in the summer, but is usually windy and cold from early November to Early May. I've seen snowflakes in the air on the 4th of July before. I live about 45 minutes from Pocatello. There are a lot of SoCals moving in (no offense to anyone from there.) Sometimes there's trouble because they didn't like California, but want to change Idaho to be like where they came from. Then again there are a lot of great Californians I've met despite that. I've lived in Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, and Idaho is where I choose to call home.
Rathdrum Idaho here!
