Hello from the Pacific Northwest!

[Deebot]

Hello! Long time lurker, first time caller! I've been dreaming of getting chickens for a few years now, and we just bought a property in Vancouver, WA with an acre of land, so I'm excited to get started on my first small backyard flock! I'm currently converting a small playhouse into my first little coop, just to get started. It'll be interesting to see how many chickens I end up with after a couple years, hehe

My other hobbies include video games, drawing, crafting, and cooking.

So glad to finally joining this community and looking forward to lots of discussions!

Hi! Welcome to BYC from another Pacific Northwester! You will love chickens! I predict about a dozen before the first year is out. Then a bigger coop and run. Then someone will get broody and you'll want to let her have the experience of raising some of her own... We call it chicken math.

I'm definitely getting a couple of Buff Orpingtons! I'm also considering some Speckled Sussex or Jersey Giants
