They do look like Nankins to me. Either that or Nankin crosses. I will add, though that Nankins have red ear lobes, so if they have any other color, they are mixes.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I lost my "Lil Red Hen" alias Red, but as I recall, she had white ear lobes, so must be crosses. But she was the sweetest thing, she used to jump up in my hands, and occasionally fly up to my shoulder (and head a few time LOL). I have a couple of her daughters and the orig. roo so I am going to try to raise some babies this spring. At least I have an idea what they are now.

Is anyone going from the Portland area going to be coming down to Eugene, Springfield or Cottage Grove on the 9 of March, or sometime shortly thereafter.? I am still trying to figure out where I want to get some ducks. I want two or tree sexed little ones. So far my options are order more than I need and sell them or just get unsexed and deal with it. As far as I can tell the farm stores around here only sell straight run. I just noticed that Urban Farm Store has sexed ducklings on the 9th...I am thinking that if I was going to drive all the way up there I might as well just pay for shipping and small order charges..but if someone just happened to be coming down her around that day....maybe we could work out a duckling taxi service????

Cottagechick, I sent you a PM.

Have you tried your local flooring store? Most have really cheap remnants. I bought a piece for my coop for $8. The remnants can be pretty large and still quite cheap. We bought our window at the Rebuilding Center in Portland. We paid a little more for a multi pained window, but it was still only about $10. I would think there would be a similar place down your way =) Or like Cloverleaf said, try Craigslist. I see them listed there all the time. (Sometimes free)

So, here is my new deluxe coop my DH and friends worked on for me. So far roof is up but needs door, chicken doors, etc and then I can put the runs on. I have a question - are there better places that habitat for humanity for cheap vinyl flooring to put in it and also some cheap windows? Any ideas (hopefully near Salem/Corvallis) appreciated

Thanks, I had thought a flooring store might be expensive. I will definately give them a try.

* Brimmed Beanies $5-10 assorted colors. can do color requests up to 2 weeks before swap.

This is kind of a weird request, but does someone have an incubator that I can rent? I'm willing to pay and ship it back to you when I'm done. I've had someone else hatch for me, but I really want to experience it for myself. It's the last aspect of chicken-keeping I have yet to experience!

Edit: Found some!

Also, is anyone bringing any silkie hatching eggs? If so let me know what colors in a PM.
