    My chickens have found a great new home! Woot! Good Morning! Is anyone interested in owning a beautiful pair of English Lavender Orpingtons? I am having to rehome them due to my health. I'm moving to a much smaller place and the goats, horse and chickens all have to go, sadly. The rooster and...

    What's everyone doing for their chickens and livestock near the fire in Estacada? I'm in Oregon City and the air quality is terrible. My barn is being demolished and rebuilt right now, so I don't have anywhere to put my goats and horse indoors. I can bring my pair of Lavender Orpingtons inside...

    I want backyard goats please help!!!

    I answered your questions in the other thread about your ranch. Let me know if you have more questions. I think Nigerian Dwarf goats would be a good breed for you and there are some excellent breeders in south Texas. If you got two, a wether and a doe, your wether would let you know when your...

    Goat breed that doesn't make much noise (:

    I'd totally recommend Nigerian Dwarf goats for being less noisy and having a quieter voice than most other breeds. My two bucks hardly ever say anything and when they do I can't even hear them across my farm. They are also fabulous milkers and take up a smaller space (so you could have more...

    Should I get goats on our farm? Please help!!!

    chickieluver, I'm originally from Ft. Worth and have lived in Oregon for about 8 years. Where is your ranch? I'd think Boers are best suited for what you're looking for in the South Texas climate. BUT, goats require a major learning curve. I just got my Nigerian Dwarf bucks about three months...

    Goats and Chickens

    Back to the original topic... I have two Nigerian Dwarf bucks and they live with my Lavender Orpington pair. Everyone is happy together. The goats' water, hay and mineral supplements (I don't feed my boys grain) are inaccessible to chicken poop. The chicken feed is inaccessible to the goats...

    I buy Scratch and Peck feed, made in WA, for my flock. It's spendy, but I'm starting to ferment it and it goes a lot longer that way. I usually buy at Portland Homestead Supply. I'm finally in a rental house! (I've been asking y'all for help finding a rental for a couple of months.) I've got...

    I'm still looking for a small house to rent with a little bit of land, anything from a half acre up to a few acres. Oregon City, Damascus, Boring, West Linn, Redland, Estacada areas are where I'm looking and up to about $1600/mo. Craigslist is helpful, but I know you guys have lots of farm...

    I've finally made it back to Oregon from wintering in Texas and I'm still looking for a new place to live. I need to rent for several months to a year while I work on getting a mortgage loan together. Anyone know of a rental which would allow pets and maybe has pasture with it for my horse in...

    Hello, Oregon peeps! I'll be returning to the Damascus area (SE suburb of Portland) in April and will need housing for me, my dogs and horse. I plan to rent for up to a year while I look for a home to buy. I have a very livable RV, but need pasture for my horse and a barn, shop or garage for my...

    Thank you! I'm so happy to be back after 10 years away. Now all I have to do is find a home with a couple of acres to buy and get some chickens! Then I'll be completely happy again. I really miss my girls. They found a lovely new home in Oregon, but it was so hard to leave them there.

    Texas

    I recently moved back home to TX from Oregon, where the winter days were so short. My girls seemed to hate going into their coop when it was dusk at 4:00pm and staying there until dawn at about 7:30am. I hung a string of Christmas tube lights inside their coop and put it on a timer. They had...

    Does anyone near the greater Portland area have a small shed or kid's outdoor playhouse they need to sell that I could make into a miniature goat house? I've got two mini Nubians coming the week after Mother's Day and no where to lock them up at night! I'd like something that's portable for now...

    Raccoon attack this morning! Broken beak, please help!!!

    Funky Chook, if you want to consult a vet or take her to someone to have a look, Dr. Pollock at Paw N Claws in Troutdale treated my injured Jersey Giant last spring and brought her back from death's door from a dog mauling. I highly recommend her and will always use her in future for my...

    It was 4 inches think on my horse tank yesterday. My soon-to-be-ex husband would never allow me to buy a tank heater because he thought it wasn't worth the expense. Since he left on Friday, that was the first thing I went to buy at the feed store. It's lovely to have a thawed out tank this...

    My gosh, it's cold this morning. 18 degrees at my house in Damascus! Everything covered in frost. My girls are sure happy for their heat lamp. I'm happy for the heated water thingy so I don't have to break ice every morning. Think I'll make them some oatmeal this morning for breakfast.
