    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Sequel, Thank you so much for your informative suggestions! We've been staying temporarily in Port Ludlow, so we don't yet have our bearings in Kitsap. I am excited to check out Viking Feed and the Poulsbo Cenex. I'm glad to hear there are options other than TSC.

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Hello, everyone. We're moving to north Kitsap County, and I'm looking for recommendations on where to acquire feed, bedding, AND chickens in my new locale. We're near Hansville, so I'm hoping not to go further south than Silverdale... I do know about the Tractor Supply there. Any suggestions?

    From NC to Japan, and now in Kitsap County, WA!

    I joined BYC quite a few years ago when I lived in NC and kept a laying flock. Since then, we've moved around the world. Now we're in the process of settling into our permanent home in Kitsap County, WA! I'll be posting in the state thread since I'm hoping to meet other chicken keepers in the...

    Finding clothes that fit...

    I'm not wild about shopping, so I only shop about once a year. I take it seriously, and go to a place that I cannot fail, like a large shopping mall complex. I take my time, and spend the whole day finding things that fit my body properly or need minimal alterations. I usually don't find too...

    12 of 36 chicks dead, 25 catfish floating, update from DEC...

    This sounds like crop dusting to me. Do you live near farm land? Years ago I lived near farmland, and after a crop dusting treatment gone awry, my neighbors bass and catfish went belly up in his large pond. I had some adult birds become ill, too.

    Flypaper caught escaped chick

    On the packaging for my fly tape, it reads "clean up excess glue with peanut butter". I would try that! If not, give her a trim! One of my chickens lost all his tail feathers to that stuff.

    Potential problem-- neighbor's yappy dog

    WOW Rillion! You and I have an amazingly similar situation. I, too live in a subdivision with an incredibly yappy dachshund named "Ozzy" that lives behind me. Ozzy starts barking before dawn, barking at squirrels, cats, whatever he sees and wakes me up every time. Lately, thankfully, my...

    Dog lovers - post pics of your dogs!

    This is Leah, in her bed with her dolly. She's a 3yr old Great Dane Mix. This is Peter, also a Great Dane Mix. He had severe skin cancer and was euthanized in Jan. I miss him terribly.

    Mail Order chicks arrive - almost all are dead! Help!

    Just out of curiosity, what breed did you order? My barred rocks from Ideal were very healthy, but my easter eggers were not as spry and I lost 1 out of 2. If you don't want more shipped, Ideal WILL refund your money.

    The Neighbors Dog

    Quote: She said there seems to be a magnetism between pit bulls and such people....not that that description fits everyone with a pit pull. I personally think that there's a magnetism between new Mustangs and people who can't or won't drive responsibly. I think that because an unusual...

    The Neighbors Dog

    It bother's me tremendously that she's hiding a dog from the homeowner. My husband and I have rentals, and it infuriates me when people intentionally violate their lease. If the dog is an issue, I would inform the homeowner ASAP. They would be grateful for the information. If the Realtor knows...

    Dog Chasing Chickens

    I am very strict with my dog and don't have this problem. She knows I'm the alpha and she should do as told. I work with her training several times a week and she knows commands like "leave it" and "halt" very well. Some regular training sessions could help, but won't provide immediate results...
