yo,
s.e. Portland here, and many chicken-projects in the works.
I Just got my first beautifull breeding pair of Mille Fluer DeUccles (stealth garage chicken-breeding project) and will be expecting hatching eggs in the next few weeks. I am exited- got these birds from a breeder in Wa. who shows all over the west coast- they are nice examples of the breed.
I decided to breed these guys because my little blue DeUccle hen, Kaboodle, is such a gem...super tame and friendly. She flies to my from the garage roof.. They are great urban pet chickens. If any of you Portlanders want to get on a list for the babies, PM me. I don't know if I will be shipping eggs yet, but I could use someone who wants to test some in a bator for me.
I also have a very tame, young jap roo I would give to a nice person. He is also super tame, since he lived next to my computer all winter so far. He is a black-tailed buff- hatched on Thanksgiving.
Signing off to open the coops
