Hon, you might not get an answer as this thread's quite old. You can check out the Oregon thread in the "Where am I where are you" section, it's pretty active.Where in Central Oregon are you? I am in Prineville, and I was cruising the site to find others near me to talk to if something is not going well with the chickens. When last I had chickens, it was in the valley. The weather is much different here and I am newer to the area. I have lots to learn about what to watch for and prepare against.
thanks
Colleen
