    2022 chicks are growing up

    Simon is a hoot. He is a Siamese mix who does not like people. Although gorgeous, he hisses, shows his teeth, and snarls when people get close, but oddly enough, when he got around my youngsters when they were old enough to go to the barn, he was lonely enough and they were shy enough to...

    2022 chicks are growing up

    This year's group of new chicks (10-week-old) is just about ready to add to the rest of the flock - I quarantine until they are big enough to not get picked on by the adults, although they are so much quicker than the adults. This year, with the bird flu going around, it happened to be helpful...

    Sick chicken. Desperately need help!!!

    Tea tree oil is good for many things, but I wouldn't experiment with it. Take a good picture of the insects & get to your farm/garden store & find the appropriate solution. One caution, if these are chicken lice, you can bring them into your home after handling a chicken (my boss once brought...

    Hi, I am in Snohomish & am interested. I already have a coop & hens, but the Eglu is great for letting them out on fresh grass safely.

    Snohomish, WA looking for a barnevelder rooster

    I mentioned how I gave up on finding a Barnevelder rooster in another post & got 3 barnevelder chicks instead, 2 were supposed to be roosters (longer story!). I took a good look at them today (5 wks old) & 2 of the Barnevelders have a more pronounced comb than the 3rd, so it looks like I might...

    Snohomish, WA looking for a barnevelder rooster

    I gave up looking for a grown or nearly grown roo, so I tried to get a rooster chick from the Snohomish co-op but am not sure what I got yet. One is definitely a male but am not sure of the breed. I know I have at least 2 barnevelder hens, a prairie bluebell, and a marans. I am going to wait and...

    In all sincerity, please reply if this is a legit posting. I want the entire package, including chickens. I never heard back from you the last time this was posted & again not this time. The Eglu is something I really want, but if it is not available, please remove this post.

    $500 Eglu large coop and 9 ft chicken run for sale + 3 hens - Snohomish County

    By the way, I live in Snohomish and have a trailer to pick everything up. I would love to have all three hens. I live just south of the Snohomish Valley where there are no ordinances against having chickens or roosters. I keep a reptile aquarium to raise my own beetles & larva as treats for the...

    $500 Eglu large coop and 9 ft chicken run for sale + 3 hens - Snohomish County

    Do you still have this? It looks like a chicken tractor, which is something I have been wanting. I live in Snohomish County with a flock of 7. I already have a chicken barn & fenced yard, but it would be nice to let the flock have access to some more greens. Not sure if I can afford the price...

    Snohomish, WA looking for a barnevelder rooster

    For my 7 hens, would like a barnevelder or other friendly roo that will enhance dark chocolate eggers (welsummer, French black copper marans). I decided on a barnevelder because they supposedly crow less, are friendly, and hens are dark egg layers. Neighbors have never complained - lucky there -...

    Looking for beautiful Breeds

    After my incident with an American gamefowl, I looked them up on Wikipedia to find that their temperament is naturally "aggressive", had previously been used for fighting, & you should never have 2 roos together because they might fight to the death. The roo never attacked me but did attack my...

    Looking for beautiful Breeds

    This looks like a French copper marans plus something else. Is it a marans/junglefowl cross? It is the roo I have, along with 2 hens for the chocolate colored eggs, plus others for "bird watching", a blue/red laced wyandotte, speckled sussex, prairie bluebell egger, & a couple of buff orpington...
