I haven't been here in quite a long time. Imagine my dismay when this new way popped up! I thought I was in the wrong place! I hate it...yuck, yuck, yuck.
I have a situation...long story but some of you may enjoy. Last year around the end of April my Chocolate Orpington went broody. I kept pulling her out of the nesting box and taking all the eggs as soon as they were laid but she just wouldn't quit!! She was looking awful and I was getting...
Sorry, I guess I was clear as mud! We aren't changing zoning at all. Just tax status. Two different things. Yes, urban "sprawl" is a HUGE...HUGE thing in Whatcom County! I hate how they are trying to control where and how people live!
It's county residential. Just outside city limits. Zoned UR4.
We aren't interested in a license to sell as much as we are interested to get our property taxes reduced! Of course we would get any necessary licenses as required. And also, it's not a zoning change we are looking for, it's a tax...
Hi everybody, This question is mainly for those in Whatcom County but anyone that has experience with it I would love to hear from you. Here's our situation. We just recently moved to just under 5 acres. Succefully moved our 12 chickens and added 20 more layer chicks! What we want to do is add...
Hi fellow Washingtonians! I posted a what breed question 6 hours ago and didn't think it was a super hard question....but no one has responded.

Thanks!
Yes, she has stayed in the pen with everyone but lost her top spot to an onery Araucana. That's the one I'm really worried about. She is really mean to Big Mamma whenever she gets out of the nesting box. Big Mamma so far has let her keep top spot and doesn't stick up for herself. So I'm...
Hi everybody! I haven't been on here in MONTHS!! About 3 months ago my Chocolate Orpinton went broody and just wouldn't quit. Finally (after 2 months of this) I got some fertile eggs from a friend. Bantams...what did Big Mamma the Choc. Orp adopt!? They have feathered feet!
This last one...
I don't know why people are so harsh about renting to people with animals. Goodness, people with animals are way more awesomer than people who don't want animals!! . We have renters right now with an elderly golden retriever. Just based on the size of their dog no one would rent to them! Their...
Because if it was like this all the time too many people would move to Washington! When it's beautiful here I venture to say there's no comparison to anywhere in the USA! WA!
Gulp. A bobcat was on our property today! I've never seen one before...until today! It scared me so bad! Our chickens free range!! It was staring at my son and my daughter. Beautiful animal but YIKES!!
Auto-sexing = happens every time bred to the same breed
Sex-link = happens when breeding a male of a certain trait to a female of a certain trait...happens once...chicks will not grow up and breed and make sex-links
