Beautiful girl.

I'm not living there, but I was born in Tillamook. Welcome to BYC.

FYI all Salem area chicken keepers. Gretchen Anderson of Backyard Chicken Fight will be holding two seminars this weekend at the Polk County AgFest. Saturday at 11:00 - Secrets of a Lazy Urban Chicken Keeper. Sunday at 1:00 - Other Tips on Raising a Flock from Chick to Hen.

I use hay in part of the run (the other part I leave bare - I have a large run). It's really easy on their feet and they don't seem to eat it like they do straw. It's fairly inexpensive. Depending on the weather and how much time they're actually in the run, I change it out anywhere from a...

Welcome to BYC. I've had my four girls since April of last year, and I can't imagine my life without them. They are endearing and entertaining. Good luck!

Hey Lynn, I wanted to let you know that I was up in Portland on Tuesday, so stopped by the Urban Farm Store to pick up some BOSS and some peanuts. I grabbed a bag of Scratch and Peck Layer to try. Holy smokes, the girls L.O.V.E.D. it. They wasted a lot of the layer crumbles I have been...

I wish we had something like that was a bit closer. Although I did get a dinner at the VQ afterward. Can't beat that. Pretty eggs. I still get such a kick out of finding eggs in the nest boxes. Mine averaged 3.5 a day in the summer and fall. For December and January they are averaging just...

Yes, well he is squeamish about a lot of things. And there is very little that makes me squeamish. Did you tell me at one point that she will make a house call to Salem if needed? Glad your girl is okay. I have been so lucky with my little flock. Knock on wood.

It was good. We went over the basics of what you should have in your first aid kit. Tonya and Chris talked about common problems (worms, mites, bumblefoot, etc.) and what to do for each. They brought Fluffy Sunshine and Jacques Cousteau (Jack) with them, and Fluffy was kind enough to pretend...

Congrats. Your hens are 4 years or 4 months?

Great. Looking forward to seeing both the coop and the girls.

I started my small flock in April of this year (first time chicken wrangler). I did a lot of research on chicken breed personalities. I wasn't so much interested in how many eggs were laid, but wanted a gentle, mild-mannered little flock. So I decided on two Buff Orpingtons, a Black...

Hey, Lynn. Signed up for the beginning first aid on the 24th. I'm actually getting my husband to come, too. Miracle of miracles. I'm looking forward to it.

Hi, welcome. I'm just west of Salem proper on a little acreage. Right now I have four hens -- one BA, two BOs, and a BR. They are 8 months old and are great little egg layers. Not to mention very entertaining. What breed of chickens do you plan to get?

Hey, Lynn. I saw you on OPB's Art Beat last night about the Marquam Mosaic. What an awesome project. Well done!

Hey Lynn, thanks for the info. I really wanted to go, but it was a family birthday (plus we bought a new car!) Now I can give you a call if I need some medical attention for my chickens?? Would you PM me Tonya's information, please and thank you.

It's a dilemma in our wet state. I have a large run that is only partially covered. So, under the covered part I use hay. The chickens love it. For the uncovered part, I have spread sand and cover that with leaves. We'll see how it goes. Inside the coop I use pine shavings, which for me...

I don't plan on providing any heat. Just keep them dry and draft free. We'll see how it goes this winter.

Just go up to her last post, hover on her name and a drop down box will have a PM option.

Hey, Mr. Cascadia. Beginner girl and I are meeting up on Tuesday, the 13th, here in West Salem so she can meet my chickens. If you are working then, we thought we'd stop by and introduce ourselves. What do you say?
