Hello!

:welcome Great to have you here!
I hope we can answer all of your questions, and supply you with plenty of chickens, ducks, turkey, quail, goats... :thumbsup
What breeds are you thinking about? There are so many colors of eggs, I think we all go through a colorful egg basket phase. Typically every other year! :lol:

I'm not an expert but you have come to the right place to learn. Research and planning are the best advice to having a healthy, productive flock.

We're in Shoreline, definitely Western Washington. It's raining right now!
Nice area! Okay I have a couple suggestions, right off the bat. One is, visit our state thread. You can find it here: Washingtonians Come Together. You can ask any random questions about what is unique about raising chickens in Washington. It's an ongoing conversation, so a great place to connect. Another one is to start a thread in the Coop and Run Design forum asking about designs that work best in the rainy state. Follow the link and start a new a new post (upper right).

For starters, I suggest not using prefabs. At best they will last two years in this rain. Secondly, build with wood, or buy a wooden shed and convert it. This stays dryer. You need to either make a large enough coop to store the food and supplies in or have a separate dry storage for that. I tried a deck box of plastic in the beginning. Big disaster.

Secondly, I think just about any chicken breed can thrive here, so you can just have fun picking them out.

Don't hesitate to ask specific questions. We love to help as much as we love getting help!!
