I just came across this while doing some "chicken reading". Thought it maybe helpful to you and Millie. http://naturalchickenkeeping.blogspot.com/2014/02/BrokenLeg.html#more
I feel the same about the snow. We really only get 1 or 2 days of snow here, and I've been okay with it, I just really hate being cold. and not seeing the sun for SOOO long. My husband regularly doses me with Vit D. Haha.
jbkirk, I've been through Sumas many times, when crossing into...
Congrats on the clear scan! That is awesome!
I'm also from California - Lived in LA for 10 years, and SF for 4. I've only been in WA for 3 years. I've heard from some people that it takes about 3 winters to get used to the rain....but I knew it would take me longer. This winter was the...
Thanks Broodytood. :) Those were taken with my Canon 50D, but I now shoot with a 7D. I have pictures of my other 14 birds on my computer that I've been meaning to add - but that page is getting so looooong!
Your avatar reminds me of when I was a kid, growing up in Texas. My parents bought us...
I'm not sure if my options were limited because it was Thursday, and the bird needed to be there on Friday before close of business? Or if the rates change based on the time of day you bring it in for overnight shipping? (I shipped at 1:45pm) And maybe the online vs. walk-in rates added to the...
Just sent the bird off with USPS.
I called the lab back and asked about the discounted rate with the Fed Ex/UPS account. She apologized and said that was incorrect information, there was no "special account rate"- just to let everyone know for future reference.
Thanks Pips&peeps. I called the avian lab at WSU and spoke with them in great detail over my options. They never mentioned the Fed Ex or UPS account option, so I'm guessing it's not offered anymore? USPS was the cheapest for overnight from SW Washington. I was quoted $117 for overnight. The...
Hey everyone. Anyone know of a place in SW Washington where I can get a necropsy done on my birds? I am in Vancouver, but can drive a little distance. I can send them overnight to WSU in Pullman, but it will cost me close to $200. Hoping someone knows of a local office that can do it for a...
Nope. I was in the exact same boat 2 years ago. We live in city limits, and I accidentally got a BR Roo, which happened to be the favorite from my first chicks. I thought I may be able to keep him quiet or hidden some of the time, but I was wrong. We were reported to our local Compliance Dept...
Pink's Marans is North of Vancouver, around Mt Sr Helen's, I believe. She has BCMs. I don't have any of her birds, I just contacted her when I was looking for Marans. Last I heard, her flock suffered a mountain lion attack, so not sure what she has for this year. Her website is PinksMarans.com
We just started last week with Elite Sheep, in Hockinson, (we get our lambs in a few weeks) and I've been directed to Kathy Giberson for the poultry club. As soon as we get everything settled, I'll send you an email. We'd love some nice birds!
Thanks for checking on it Chickielady. I have 4 small children and can't spare the time to be a hardcore BYC groupie, but hopefully I'll be able to spot a few "neighbors" here and there!
Turns out BGMatt is actually pretty close to me, so I've found one already!
Hi Matt! We used to live in Battle Ground, right off Grace, by the train tracks. (NE) We've since moved to Vancouver, but are searching madly for a place north again...BG, Hockinson, Brush Prairie, etc. I have 13 hens in my backyard now, and just put 10 in the brooder. I'll either need to build...
Question: I saw that the Georgian's have a map on Zeemaps.com where they can add a marker to represent their location. I'd love to know who on BYC is close to me, but going through all the posts to find members nearby is impossible. Is there already a map like this in existence for...
