    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Our wind is just now starting. Just 13 mph so far. We have so many tall trees, it always worries me when the wind is from the east. Hope everyone stays safe.

    I’m around the Tacoma area. The girls have been mingling together for a few days now and all seems to be going well.

    A few days so far of the see no touch thing. Looks like tomorrow will be mostly dry, so another good intro day. Our top hen Marge (of the 2 existing flock) is pretty much in their face, but the new wyandottes are already bigger than her, but they seem respectful. The second hen from our...

    In the next couple days, I'm going to start integrating 2 new hens with 2 existing hens. Unfortunately, the forecast is for rain every day starting Sunday. We have a large fenced 'day use' area, and a covered predator proof run attached to the hen house. The 2 existing hens tend to stay in...

    Raynaud's is no fun. I use heated socks and hotties in my mittens and that seems to help. The cold dampness here is truly a pain.

    Good morning. 41 here now in Tacoma. Got a couple beautiful 6 mo old lavender Wyandots recently who are in temporary quarantine in the garage, so they are nice and warm and dry. Hoping for a couple dry days to get them outside on the grass a bit. This weather has definitely got me craving...

    New Hen Procedures

    Hi and thank you for replying, One of the 2 new pullets is laying. I'm hopeful the other will start laying before the end of quarantine. The hen house is 5x4, attached run is 5x12, and they have a larger fenced area around the coop/run that is like 20'x50'. Hen house has 3 roosting bars, 3...

    New Hen Procedures

    Good morning everyone! I recently got 2 beautiful 6-mo lavender Wyandot hens that will be integrated into my current flock of 2 4-yo hens (crested cream leg bar and barred Plymouth Rock). The new ones come from a reputable person who has wormed and vaccinated them. Wondering what the standard...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hi all. My 4 girls have been doing well. 2 actively laying and 2 retired. One of the retirees (a RIR) is a struggle as it seems she gets a poopy butt often. We've given her baths monthly and butt feather trim. Fairly recently wormed. Get fermented food and probiotics. After bath a few days...

    Baxter Barn in Fall City might have some. I haven't checked their poultry list recently, though.

    Good morning. Its soggy and cool today in the Tacoma area. Hoping for a few breaks from the rain so the chickens will come out to play.

    Hi everyone. Wondering when most folks do spring worming of chickens. The weather has been weirdly warm lately, but looks like some chilly nights coming up. I wormed in August, so just want to find the best time for spring. TIA.

    No. We did not. All the others seem to be doing fine for now.
