Heritage Breeds PNW?

[jojoyoyo]

Hi!
So, I recently lost my sweet 8 year old Buff Orpington to ascites. And, of course, now I’m thinking of more chickens. We currently have a small flock of 4, and they are pets, so I don’t need them to be good layers. I just want them to be hardy, long-living friendly lap chickens.
I’m beginning my search for a heritage hatchery that I can drive to in the PNW. Looking for someplace from Southern Washington to Southern Oregon.
Any suggestions?
I really want to avoid farm stores and shipping.
Thank you!

I've come across the Peninsula Poultry Breeders when I've been noodling about the internet, they seem like they have some good birds. https://www.peninsulapoultrybreeders.com/

And then farther north then you, but the FB group Whatcom Chicken Wonks might have some good suggestions if you post there.

Sorry you lost your hen.

Rainier Foothills Farm in Washington has lovely birds and many different breeds.
