No, it usually takes a new member to get the people back on this thread. Did you find the other Alaska thread? It's alot larger, but just as dead.

Yea I think I found that one as well.
I wonder if there is enough interest in chickens for us to hold a chicken event here in Fairbanks . . .

I don't know, judging from the amount of people on BYC assosiated with Alaska, probably not. It would be interesting though. Did you see the show poultry at the state fair last year? I was impressed- most likely because its the only one I have seen.

Yea that's true . . .for now but I'm gonna make chickens awesome! It's not hard to create a fad in Fairbanks.
Trust me my blue laced red wyadottes and partridge silkies are gonna be all the rage.

I am down for a chicken event. I live in North Pole.

I'm down also. I live in Fairbanks and this is our first year raising chickens. Love to meet some folks that have survived our winter with their flock intact.

We could all meet up for coffee sometime and talk flock. peorhaps create an organization.
Kinda like 4h for adults or something.kinda help each other out with advice ect.
Monthly or bi monthly meetings would be a cool.

Also if anyone in my area has an incubator I would adore you if you let me borrow it. To hatch some chicks! I want to order eggs ASAP and all the ones I bid on eBay en up getting sniped. :/

I've lived in North Pole for four years now, and last month decided it was time to start a small flock. In the past three weeks I've picked up two each of Americanas, Buff & Light Brahmas & Langshans. Planning the coop is in progress and am wondering what others in the interior use for insulation. I'm thinking of going with 10" thick walls (works for my house, should be good for the chickens, right?). I (am my flock) are grateful for suggestions!
