Greetings from the Columbia gorge

[mike256]

I've been lurking around here for a while now and finally decided to join up. Lots of great information. I'm from the columbia river gorge in Washington state. We have 18 chickens at the moment. 3 brown leghorns, 7 buff orpingtons, 2 white silkies, 1 gold sexlink, and 5 assorted somethings. I really can't figure out what they are yet. 3 look to be white leghorns, the other two I'm having a harder time figuring. either way they are fun to watch. We recently lost our Rhode island red to a raccoon. We raised 3 cornish-x broilers. That was a great experience. We also have a pitbull that loves hanging out with the girls. The only problem is he keeps eating their food

I look forward to being a part of the forum.

Cheers

Welcome to BYC

Something's wrong here... Aren't chickens supposed to be stealing the dog's food?

Hello from Oregon & welcome to BYC. My pits love the chicken food as well lol. Only problem is 1 of them has food allergies. You can always tell if he sneaks some in because he turns into a fire bellied newt. Then its Benadryl time

, silly dogs.
Best of luck with your flock !!
