    Our big lady Mabel is very lonely. We're looking for another turkey hen to keep company with her if any of you know of a spare hen in western WA. Our housing is now secure.

    I'm not a frequent contributor. Like to read your posts. Today I'm super sad as my rescued turkey hen Penny was killed by a weasel over the weekend. I was out of town and only found out today. Now Mabel is all alone. I am so sorry for her. Only 7 months old.

    wild goose thread...

    The bird in the first pic was solitary, but only 30 yards or so from the birds in the other pic. It appeared twice the size of the Canada geese. One of my coworkers thinks it's an escaped domestic goose. I'll bring binoculars next time.

    Here is a snow goose who lives with the Canada geese near my workplace on Hood Canal.

    If I see it again, I will. Mostly I see blue herons, Canada geese, various hawks and an owl occasionally.

    Hi, I'm new on this thread. I took this photo (sorry for poor quality) at Hood Canal in WA state. I'm calling it the Loch Ness goose. Any ideas what breed it is? Canada goose in foreground.

    Woods-style house in the winter

    Is there any suggestion for accommodating heavy rainfall & wind, as in western WA.

    Manure shouldn't be as much of a problem as the excavation hobby of many chickens. Suggest securing root area and low areas of tree with hardware cloth. Other threads in BYC suggest everbearing mulberry. Search "Trees/bushes in chicken run".

    Some crazy windstorm here! No power in much of Kitsap, but chickens seemed undisturbed and produced 7/8 eggs! Feel fortunate no trees came down on us or around us. Too bad I spent yesterday raking up cones, branches, other winter debris.
