I just took one of my girls to the Avian Medical Center in Lake Oswego & had a good experience there.
They were able to get me in at the last minute & were on time with my appt. Dr Lintner gave me some antibiotics to add to their water & took the time to answer my questions.
Glad I found her...
I was gonna ask how it was. Didn't make it down because of last min vet appt for the furry child (dog).
The one you picked up is *mighty* cute! And it looks like she's already bonded with your DD. :love Sweet.
What was it that disappointed you?
I just met a couple who have 50. And they're brooding another 15 for a friend who wants started pullets.
If you have more than that, you're in trouble. Less than that & it's normal chicken math!
Welcome @aligarysmom ! :frow
What part of Oregon are you from & what's your flock like?
Not to be a total enabler, but....

Check it out. It's my first time going :yesss:
My girls are so hilarious!
This morning when I let them out, they stampeded out to the lawn & were immediately obsessed with something --
I banged on their feeder & they usually come charging back, but they were so distracted they didn't hear me. I went out to see what all the fuss was about...

Curious... Why do you keep turkeys?
I'm not trying to be ignorant or disrespectful. I don't really know anyone with turkeys, except that one person who is a breeder.
Do you like them for their personalities or like the way the look? Do you eat them? What do you like about keeping them?
I love all these new Oregonians on our thread!!
Welcome everyone!! :frow
I haven't seen weasels but I know there are minks in our area in Beaverton. @Ol Grey Mare gave some good advice... hard ware cloth, covered run. Depends on your priorities & comfort level.
I free range mine during the...
Once they're all grown up & out in the coop, you will miss these days! Take lots of videos. I play mine & fondly remember when they made those cute cheeps.
Now they squawk like banshees when they're unhappy! :duc:duc:duc:th
What breed do you have?
Ooh I'd be up for an Ameraucana swap in Corvalis! I think they're the cutest.
Although I'm also very happy with my nonstandard EE.
I know there's a reputable breeder in Washington state. I think you can get their comtact on the Ameraucana breeders association.

Holy moley they're adorable!!
Especially with that dark nose. Double dang it!!
I'll have to show these pix to my honey & convince with cuteness overload. Any more ammo is appreciated :highfive:
Sorry to hear you had a hard week! :hugs
Hope you got your chicken fix in.
It's amazing how they can make you laugh on even the worst days, right?
I wish I could just put on some warm bloomers & fluff up like they do. Especially with another snow in the forecast. :th
