    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    We are retired, looking for a farm-y location, more western. Like I said, Oly, Lacey, Tumwater, maybe Shelton, Pt. Orchard. We are waiting for our "ducks" to get in their row, which should be sometime this week, then we will know for sure. However, knowing the issue with living within city...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Yep, she's all that's left of our Cali Flock. We will be repopulating a flock when we get to Washington. We have been on a strict no new pet policy for over a year knowing this move was coming. (Our zoo contains, Miss Lindsay, a beardie named Queen Leo, six cats and four cockatiels) First off...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    We are looking at Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and North from there. Some of the homes we have looked at have existing coops. I'd like to be able to have a rooster or two as they really help take care of their girls.

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Hey, y'all! We will be heading up to Thurston County from California (shhh, don't tell anyone) within the next few months. Any advice? We are bringing our one girl with us as we have been on a very strict no new pets rule for the last year knowing we'd be moving. We only have our one Delaware...

    Easter Egger club!

    My EE that I have left is a kook. There is a reason my hubby named her Phyllis Diller. She and my Delaware (lindsey lohan - lol) both peck at my hubby and I until we pick them up, carry them around, and pet them. Of course, telling them how pretty they are all the time. lol

    Do your hens like watermelon?

    The regular watermelon is what my girls love. They pick out all the seeds first then eat the flesh. lol

    I don't think she's laid in a while, but your right, it takes me longer to get over stuff. She's still feisty though. lol Eating like crazy and bonks her sister on the head when they get in her way. So, as long as she's still letting us know that she's in charge, I'm good. lol

    I switched to the higher protein for the summer since it's hot and they don't eat as much. I may keep them on it year round. Since only two are still laying (I think) and I don't have them for eggs really now, just my babies, I'd rather them be healthy. I still offer oyster shell to them also.

    No, just looking into ways to make them more comfy. It's one of my red sex links that seems to be aging faster than the others. But she's still eating like a champ.

    Things you never said until you had chickens.......

    "Well, doc, it was either me or the chicken." - said to the urgent care doc when I had to go in for x-rays and ended up with a broken elbow because I fell in the yard while carrying one of my girls and rolled to the opposite side so I didn't land on her. lol I did, however, land on the pocket...

    Older Girls

    As my girls start aging, I'm finding that some breeds age faster than others. My EE and Delaware are all over the place, laying and living it up, but my RRs are aging quicker it seems. They are all just over 3 years old. Only a couple are still laying, but that's ok, we love our featherbutts...

    Do your hens like watermelon?

    OMG, my girls go nuts for it. I read on another blog about freezing it and giving it to them on really hot days. My girls stick their beaks up at anything frozen so I just do really cold refrigerated now. But they go nuts. After they have demolished the pieces, I put water in the rinds and they...

    Comment by 'dragonlady12' in article 'Title'

    Would the medication one work on a turkey? I wish I had found this when searching this site for this exact type of info about two months ago. My poor PTSD hubby and our poor turkey. My hubby is still not ok after breaking the neck of our beloved pet. Thank you for the info. It seems the best...

    Pet Turkey's time - how to end his suffering

    First off, thanks for all your kind words. Secondly, my hubby just finally did it because he couldn't justify letting him live like that. Our boy had an episode like this the middle of summer the year before last. But after a couple days, he did better. This time. He couldn't move his beak well...

    Wish I did. Neighbors are hunters, but they have been asses to us since we moved in.

    Pet Turkey's time - how to end his suffering

    My poor dude has had what we think is a stroke and although he seems interested in food and water, he isn't able to eat it. My husband and I know that we need to be humane and understand his quality of life and neither of us want to watch him starve to death, but we are wimps. My hubby has PTSD...

    my first "lash egg" experience

    We just had our first "lash egg." I have my suspicions about who laid it. One of my Rhode Island Reds, Roxy. She's been a bit thin recently, but foraging and eating and drinking fine. No other symptoms. Her abdomen is fine, she is acting normally, for her. No penguin walking or other visual...
