Hi! Hope all the chickies survived that cold snap a few weeks ago; the heat lamps were burning here (near Sheridan). All is well. I have three roosters that need a new home, if anyone is interested. I thought I'd check in locally. I have a post in the Sale/Auction area...

for Wilco. I'm a farm & garden fiend; my husband has to almost pull me outta there when we go! I get excited for a trip to Wilco like most women would for a trip to a shoe store. I just want one of everything! Janine

Yeah to Netarts! Only the best oysters in the world ... yummmy! My husband and I drive to Pearl Point Oysters in Tillamook to buy Netarts Bay oysters -- we love them Actually, they are the only oysters we eat (come from a nearly total saltwater estuary). They are wonderful. What type of...

I work as a subcontractor to ODOT, on the OTIA III Bridge Delivery Program. I work with the data, extracting queries from a database, and providing the data to our engineers and other disciplines. Hence, building bridges one spreadsheet at a time I love the job, and love the detail work...

Hi to meandmytwo! Wow ... 3 from such a small area! But, it's quite rural, so that makes sense. If either of you plan to order chicks in the future, let's collaborate! I have ordered three times from Murray McMurray, with very good results. If ever you folks would like to go in on an...

Well, most certainly we are neighbors! Our first flock of layers has been relatively easy -- it's fun to see how they interact as a little family. They love us and are so excited to see us in the evening when we take them their treats (our scraps and leftovers). We have more layers coming in...

Hi Chicklit! and I'm near Sheridan, too -- up Gopher Valley. Are we close? I started with RIR, also, and they have been great layers. They started laying right at 19 weeks and have been fairly steady since. I have one broody one right now, but I usually get 9-12 eggs per day from 13 hens...

Quote: Leslie, You've obviously been reading and researching already, and you are well on your way to a healthy flock! We did a lot of research here at BYC, also, before building our coop. I lovingly refer to our coop as 'Coop Knox', because it was built with repelling predators in...

Quote: First, welcome to the group! Sounds like you will soon have your hands very full of little fuzzy cuties You mentioned in the post above that you were going to divide your space for roos/pullets. You don't really need to separate the boys from the girls (rooster & cockerel are...

Hello to all, We're out between McMinnville and Sheridan, and, baby, it's coooooold outside! However, the flock seems to be doing just fine. My pullets started laying at 19 weeks (day after Thanksgiving), and we're up to 4 eggs/day (I have 12 at that age). The flock was both inside the coop...

Hi to our Oregon neighbors! So, we're over 7 weeks into our first run of chicks. We have 16 RIR's that are doing GREAT, 1 still-to-be-determined fellow (black & white motley pattern, but black/grey legs & feet). And we have 14 of our 15 Jumbo Cornish Cross-X fryers. We had one that had some...

Quote: Waving to you from rural Yamhill County. We live up Gopher Valley, off Hwy 18 between McMinnville and Sheridan. I drive through Amity frequently, cutting over by Hopewell (past the stinky dairy) and to the Wheatland Ferry. Yup, it's still chugging back and forth across the...

Quote: Now that's one I hadn't thought of. I frequently come across the Wheatland Ferry and down through Keizer and drive right by it, but haven't stopped in. I think I'll need to do some reconnaissance during lunchtime. Great tip ... thanks! Janine

Quote: Thank for the welcome, and the information. I looked online for Coastal Farm & Ranch locations, and see a new store has opened in Cornelius (my husband could swing by there after work on his way home). The next closest to us is Woodburn, which isn't very handy (or economical with gas...

Hey Oregon Peeps ... We live near Sheridan (near McMinnville), but I work in Salem and my hubby works in Aloha (going through McMinnville, Dundee, Newberg, Chehalis Mtn., Sherwood, etc.). Where do locals near us (or near our workplaces) buy supplies/feed? We have a Wilco in McMinnville, but...

Hi to all the web-foots! We're natives, and have 10 acres in the country near Sheridan (southeast of McMinnville). We've been discussing and planning our coop/run design, breeds, etc. for quite some time, but it's time to make it a reality. We culled the used building materials stores in...
