My goodness, I certainly didn't know I would open such a Pandora's box when I posted my original question. I ordered my chicks from Ideal and they are advertised as Araucana/Americana -The Easter Egg Chicken. I guess they covered all of the bases with that title! Hahaha I will just enjoy the...

I think I have figured out where some of this craziness comes from. When we stop having our own babies we start hatching eggs!

;)If you get him the big screen he will be so busy watching it he won't even notice the bator warming up next time. Hehehehehe;)

I think that Ideal offers chuker chicks and eggs.

Beautiful birds! Since i am just starting out I think I will go with Speckled Sussex and New Hampshires. They are supposed to take the cold well and lay well. I have built shade areas for summer and will have a heat lamp for winter. Our summers can get a few days of 100* F and winters can be...

SILVER MOON -- I am in Powell Butte. Just building my coop and have chicks coming Feb 16th. Lets keep in touch! Chickens do fine here. I have a friend that has been getting eggs all winter, even during our big snow! You can PM me if you want. OWL WITH PEAS _ We lived in Eugene for 31 years...

My neighbor has a couple of peacocks with her chickens and nothing tries to get close to them. The peacocks are good protectors if you don't mind their calling.

Someone must have gotten it. It has been pulled from craigs list now.
