Day 20 ......my first Icelandic has hatched and another nearly out - - my Welsummer hen has
been sitting on 12 eggs - - can't wait to see what colors I get! Fingers crossed that I get at least 4-6 pullets!
Looking to purchase a couple Wellie pullets here in Western WA - - would like to add 2 or 3 more to my flock.........anyone here south of Seattle that would like to part with a couple???
I built the chicks a small roost to give them something to do in the brooder -
The largest BLRW 'Quiche' was the first to try it out - - my blue Wy's were purchased from a local breeder and
were straight run - I have a sneaking suspicion this one is a roo - no real reason just some kind
of...
On Valentine's Day 2010 I traveled to 2 different farms in the county and picked up 9 chicks total - 2 day olds and 5 day olds:
From hatchery stock - Privett - I chose all pullets:
2 - Silver-laced Wyandottes 'Scramble' and 'Frittata'
1 - Gold-laced Wyandotte 'Spice'
1 - Black Astralorp...
Hi I am Maggie and I live on 2 acres in the western Red Cedar forest of WA state near the base of Mt. Rainier -
I live with my hubby - 2 dogs - 2 cats and a budgie that belonged to my late mother.....I am a dog groomer and Agility
instructor @ a working sheep farm - my dogs compete in agility...
Levi button-up 501's for me! Been wearin' em for probably 40 years........they aren't too high in the waist and they are straight-leg - neither boot-cut or skinny-jeans - - men's jeans seem to fit me better......

WOW - at the Graham store! Fantastic - I was in there in July to pick up feed and they had Buttercups and Light...
I teach agility and use many different treats depending on the 'level' of reward I want........high end I use cooked chicken breast cut up.......string cheese cut in pieces..........the Natural Balance moist dog food roll cut up.........hot dogs......the lower end treats would be their food...
