I haven't used Nutrena NatureWise Feather Fixer, but am using Flock Raiser (20% protein and probiotics) if its the higher protein and nutrients you were wanting. I haven't had chickens in 15yrs and my guys are finally (omg I hope) moving out to the coop this weekend, and had been looking around...

Hi, I am a bit late in asking (my chicks are currently in the mail right now heading this way) but was curious if chicken owners out here vaccinate small flocks against Marek's and if medicated or non medicated chick starter is preferred. I had chickens before when I lived in Wyoming, and no...

Still a bit out, but figure I will post it while I am thinking of it!

I love that you named him Fluffy!

Hi from lil further north, Philomath :)

I never heated my coop when I lived in Wyoming and it would be -3 for quite a stretch.

You bring up a very important point about the dangers of buying from individuals (unknown). There seems to be a safety in buying from hatcheries due to they are a business and have to comply with certain regulations as well as keeping a good reputation. This is why I haven't considered...

Beginnergirl, I will try to figure out how to PM you the info for the breeder :D

I agree, some looked healthier than others. I did get the name and info for a very nice guy who breeds some healthy happy looking cream legbars, he had some olive eggers and marans too it looked. I will definitely be ordering from him when I get the coop built! I found it a great experience to...

I started a new job this past week and missed all the chat on meeting up :( wasn't even sure I was going to be able to go today to the swap, but I did (OMG the leg bars and silkies were just so tempting to take home....if only I had the coop started!). Anyone get birds or animals? They had a...

Awesome! Just threaten to come back with more chickens thats why mine is going with me :P We haven't built a coop yet (just moved in 3 weeks or so ago) so the fear of speed building is keeping him glued to me hahaha.

Bernadine- Have you tried looking for or making a meet up in the site Meetup? Prior to moving to Oregon I had used that site/app and went to local art/craft events. it was great fun. Also check for local poultry swaps (like the one coming up next week in Benton county!!!!! yay) I hope to meet...

Hi and welcome to the area, I just moved to Benton county area two weeks ago (little more west form Leb) and seems like the popular feed/supply store around here is the Wilco, though there are many others around. I haven't had a chance to look yet, but I am hoping to start chickens (and maybe...

That is horrible, the amount of fire you guys are having up north, and here I thought still being in SoCal the fires were bad this year. Hope all gets contained soon and everyone keeps safe. I will be moving up there in 11 days, makes me kinda nervous!

Wow, that is one amazing coop! Hope mine comes out at least half as nice, will have to integrate some of your plans into my sketches

T-traveler Thats great that you are able to free range them with just that one encounter, that's encouraging. I forgot to even consider coyotes, ok one more thing on the list. Do you have your coop raised off the ground? I use to have a dirt floor for mine when in Wyoming, but was much dryer...
