Quote: Hi! Another BYC member, owlwithpeas, says she's from Mt Pisgah as well. Just thought I'd mention it.

I'm in Monroe, located between Corvallis and Eugene. My 7 hens are starting to lay this week and I'm interested in finding a rooster to befriend them. Anyone know of one? My favorites have been Ameraucanas, Golden or Silver -Laced Wyandottes... Thanks a bunch!

Quote: One thing that's worked for me is to put the (fully feathered) chickens together at night when it's dark. That way they have time to get used to each others' sounds and such before light hits. And another note, there will always be chickens in the flock that will get picked on. That's...

Quote: Welcome! I'm in Springfield, and have a chicken friend that I met on BYC over in Eugene. It has been wonderful to be able to share chicks and chickens and hatching eggs and advice and commiseration with her. I don't know what I would do without her! We can always enlarge our 'support...

Quote: Nope, I haven't heard about this. I suggest you call Fish and Wildlife and check it out...

Introducing my new flock! Thanks to Backyard Chickens member Owlwithpeas, I have ten pullets (probably) from McMurray Hatchery. Almost 2 weeks old, Buff Orpingtons, Silver-Laced Wyandottes, Barred Rocks, and Black Star. They're growing in a box behind my desk and entertaining me constantly while...

I lost all my chickens while on vacation in January - I think it was a bobcat. That was the first time a predator got into the chicken house, but it was my mistake. I didn't secure the wire enough. Anyone in the Eugene or Corvallis area planning on excess chicks? If not, I think I'll order...

I'm south of you guys in Portland, near Junction City. I opened the coop up to 4 and 1/2 inches of snow this morning, and the birds refused to touch it. I guess they just stayed on the cedar shavings and looked out at it all day. Had to break the ice twice, but I think we're only hitting 18...

I live near Junction City, and I haven't had to insulate my coop in 5 years of raising large and banty chickens. One wall of it borders an insulated shed. Probably overdoing it, but I covered the chicken wire "window" with plastic during the winter. I just purchased birds from a farm that...

Announcing new additions: Silver-Spangled Hamburg Bantams! One young cockerel and four mature hens! They're beautiful, and acclimating nicely to their new digs. I drove all the way out to Pleasant Hill to pick them up Monday, and was rewarded with a tour of Carolyn's little farm: Rhode Island...

I think I've decided I want Dutch Bantam chicks in the near future. Anyone know of someone near the Albany to Eugene area with this breed? What I'm looking for is better feed to egg cost ratio, hence the bantam breeds. I would also like a bantam breed that doesn't tend to brood. Is that...

Quote: Hi, from the Junction City area! Nice to meet you! I'm just starting back into chickens after a year+ break. Looking forward to the chickadventures again...

My first day as a registered BYC friend! Hi, Duck and Beaver fans! I live near Junction City, OR and I'm just restarting my chicken adventures after a year and a half with no birds...
