Here's something. I think I'll be heading down to Yakima next Wednesday. Anybody down there have an Easter Egger rooster for sale?

Im not even sure. The westies seem to have oodles to talk about...lol. What do you all breed and raise? I have a Splash Laced Red Wyandotte rooster I bred to my Black Sex Link Hens. 5 out of 6 hens hatched last year and I had a total of around 60 babies. Currently, I have 26 of the offspring including 3 laying pullets and 3 cockerals that are 5 months old

My current flock contains:
3 White Leghorns (the only girls working this season!)
2 EEs
1 partridge Cochin
1 Wyandotte/BR mix (product of my first flock)
3 white Silkie younsters
2 baby partridge Silkies (why, why, why the Silkies

)
1 dark blue Silkie roo
1 black Japanese bantam

Making plans to get better winter layers this Spring as I've had to buy eggs for the first time in a year

Wish list includes Speckled Sussex, Salmon Faverolles (including a roo), Australorps, and Wyandottes. I need to make a separate Silkie pen to clear out some space. They are silly, worthless things but I just love them!!!!

I still have Wyandotte crosses for sale if you are interested. my 3-4 months old should be laying in a month or two and they are easilt told apart from cockerals and pullets

I may have to take you up on that and buy a couple. I wouldn't be able to buy them until Fri, though.



I am so bad right now. Goats have been on my mind a lot lately and I've been considering other creatures to try, i.e., turkeys, ducks and geese. I only have a little over 2 acres so I have to be careful! Well, that and the fact that the DH is not at all excited about my dream! There is a lot of work to do to get some shelters built up so that is certainly holding me back for now!

Here are some recent pictures of them. Alot of the white ones should end up looking similar to the rooster in this picture

I have 11 hens. Three Orpingtons, two Australorps, two Plymouth Barred Rocks, one Wyandotte, a Production Red and two Easter Eggers.

My Orpingtons, Barred Rocks and Wyandotte laid really well all winter.

Does anyone have livestock guardian dogs? We just got one and I am so excited.

Now I have sheep on the brain and this spring I really want some ducks and some more Easter Eggers. Oh, and turkeys, too!

I'm in up in Omak.

I noticed that you were thinking of getting ducks. I just got back from a conference in Portland and found that a weasel (most likely) got 2 of my runner ducks... I have one black hen left who might need a new home...

The sun is shining but yet I am still struggling to get moving on some chores

So much to do but this body will not cooperate!
