Just got here - Hi Everyone!

I'm from the borderland of ID & WA here in the panhandle. Been scratching around in this neck of the woods forever but only recently discovered BYChickens forums!

Same here! What county are you in?

Hello from Athol, Idaho!

No laughing, that really is the name of the town.

Hey neighbor!

Rathdrum Idaho here!

Hey! We're practically neighbors! I live just south of you!

Hi Kelsey, the northern part of Idaho - Spokane Washington to Coeur d'alene Idaho is a beautiful area - Priest Lake is stunning - close enough to Spokane - Lewiston is a hot &(I think) ugly town - but East of there is the Clearwater River - world class fishing and as you go towards Montana it gets more and more beautiful, but the towns get tiny. Orofino, Kamiah are 3000 people or smaller - within 60 minutes of Lewiston (pop 35000). Not a large population area, but that's what you get as you move up in the mountains. Going south toward Boise you have McCall - beautiful wooded area - lots of richer folk moving into that area because of the beauty. Then as you continue south it gets drier and drier.

Seconded I live in Post Falls, ID which is sandwiched between Coeur d'Alene and Spokane, WA. It's absolutely breathtaking here It is getting pricey though (most homes are about 250k, and acreage is really spendy unless you head up north a bit toward Spirit Lake and Priest Lake, then they get better). Sandpoint, ID is an awesome town and if my husband didn't work in Spokane we would happily live up there.

But pretty much anything from Kootenai, Bonner and Boundary county is good as far as beauty is concerned. Acreage gets cheaper if you're willing to drive for a bit, but it's only 2 hours to the Canadian border and Sandpoint is a decent town. Not too tiny, but not huge either (and it has a hospital too and satellite campuses for the local community college).

Thanks! I'll have to look into some of these areas too!

Does anyone possibly have room for a Silver Laced Polish rooster? I came home today to hear a noisy crow from Pepper, who I thought was a hen until I saw some fancy saddle feathers popping up a couple weeks ago. At that point, I thought maybe, but not sure. Does anyone have room for an extra roo because I dont think we're gonna keep him. Treasure Valley area

East WA, here, I have a broody and she is in an unheated coop, (Ayam cermani) I was thinking on giving her some small eggs, I will be home and around, any suggestions?

Does any one here have any experience with the Bird Breeders of Idaho club?

I can only find the Facebook page and it doesn’t seem to have much information on it. Just that there was a meeting on the 31st of January.

Hi Budda, I'm from Boise. This organization recently posted in the local "Treasure Valley Backyard Chickens" FB group. Their post said they had disbanded, but were trying to get a new group together. They don't provide contact info in the post, but if you join this FB group, you could add a post and I'm sure someone from the newly formed Club would respond. Hope this helps,
