Nope. Found an ancient laptop with some missing keys. Plugged it in and the passwords autofill...

Island County, so not far.

I have a green Eglu Cube that I will be selling as soon as I get it cleaned up. I bought it new in 2009, and it has the extended run on it. We covered the run with half inch hardware cloth to keep the raccoon paws out. We moved to the south end of Whidbey Island in 2015, and I cut back on the...

You likely do! We built the beautiful cedar and stone home in the Uplands on the corner of Uplands way and SE 163. It came out to twice he size and 3X price we agreed to so I always knew we would eventually have to move. We were there for 13 years, and have I listed for a lot less than what...

What a handsome Am Roo. I was at the home we're trying to sell in north Bend all day Thursday, on Rattlesnake Mrn about 500' above town. It was snowing there

Thanks for all the great tips for wood chips. I used them in North Bend, but only because we built the coop where the kids play set was. I moved to Langley, right near the fairgrounds on the South end of Whidbey. We are renting a small house down the road from some land we purchased. The...

Hey Chickielady and Carolyn!!! I'm baaaaaack. Finally remembered my password. I'm on Whidbey Island now, my chickens are on our lot, my house in North Bend is still for sale, Don is not looking for work, I'm starting a new business .... Logged on here today to see if I can find a cheap way of...

It's been ages since I last posted; just wanted to drop in and say hello.

And on a completely different topic..... I am thoroughly disgusted with myself for the size I have grown to. I'm thinking of doing a liquid diet to lose a lot of pounds fast to get me motivated, and then switching to something more sustainable like Weight Watchers. (I also need to lose weight...

Hi All! I miss this place - one day I will get my act together and start being social again. I came on here today for help with a chicken question from a friend of mine. She has 2 hens that she raised from chicks that she bought at Monroe feed - she had more, but there were 3 roosters in the...

Awww! I miss you too!

I love my Blue's I got from you and I would like some more pullets. They are nice birds. A bit flighty until I started bringing them food and water in the nest boxes they were broody in over the summer. Now they trust me. Oddly, they stopped being broody 2 days before hatch. The poor BCM who...

I had the birds from you in a separate coop and run for a while. Shasta would wander in with me when I would clean the coop, so she knew they were there. Then one day a couple months ago I decided they were big enough to put with the main flock, so I let them all out. Shasta caught the wheaten...

Both my dogs initially went after my chickens. I had never owned dogs before nor had I ever taken them to obedience school. I thoroughly trust both my dogs with my chickens now and I leave them all out free together all day, even when no one is home. It helps greatly with predation. I'd had...

They are beautiful birds - I was sad that one of the eggs that had only partially hatched was an Icelandic. I was curious to see what it would look like. I forgot my password and did not go on for a while - I hate when my computer crashes and I need to reset everything.I never remember which...

Crud. I liked Oregon Tile and Marble in Seattle south of the stadiums for marble and slate, but we got our granite across the street from them; I can't recall their name - something imports. They are directly across from Oregon Tile and Marble, HUGE warehouse with lots of selection. Global...

Border Collie Diane in Carnation She gave me 8 eggs to hatch but the BCM that was sitting on them walked off with her 3 chicks while 3 other of her eggs were peeping. I put her in a broody box with the 3 peeping eggs and her chicks. I thought the eggs would hatch under her, but she rolled them...

Nope! I could not get any to hatch, even after trimming their feathers! The rooster died a short time later, I don't know how he died, he was fine in the evening, and the next morning he was dead in a cat-box I have set up in the run as a dust bath; I have no clue how old he was, but I noticed...

Yesterday it was very windy here all day long, and the skies stayed dark (and now it is snowing, but it melts soon after hitting the ground). The wind made an odd, loud humming sound as it blew through the runs. I have never hear it do that before! Usually I have big clear tarps strung up by now...

I found that it gets too cold here for the heated water bowls, at least if I leave them out in the yard. If I put them in the covered runs, the do much better. Even the unheated bowls will usually only have a thin layer of ice in the runs, but be frozen solid outside. I want something inside the...
