Does anyone local raise Old english game hens, they are such good fliers I have had them roam around free ranging with my Jerseys and haven't lost any. Luck do you think or do you think the size of my jerseys scare away any predators??? I was thinking about selling my beloved silkies and raising these lil bantams. My hens are soooooo sweet, anyone have any thoughts????

I'm trying to decide if I should be more or less worried about predators now that the turkeys have been dispatched.

Is anyone interested in getting some laying hens? there's six of them. Not sure on the breeds some look like EE get the green/blue eggs and brown eggs. 2 to 3 years old. Good home only not for food. Located in Sutherlin.

Hi all! Anyone near Sandy or know someone with some fertile hatching eggs?? I can't find anything on CL lately.. I just got my incubater and am getting it all figured out. Thanks =)

Hi chicknlove,

we have friends in Corbett.

If you are still looking for fertilized eggs, I can ask her when/what she has available.

Are you looking for specific breeds?

We just hatched a batch of our Black and Blue Copper Marans ;-)

I have a few pics I took when I went over there about a week ago they aren't very good pictures they were scared of me. They aren't my chickens the people who owned them moved and couldn't take them with.

The dark one in the second pic in the back is my favorite you can't tell in the pic but she has gold spots and cute tiffs by her head.

Thanks, I sent you a PM ;-)

Hi everyone!

With permission from the admin I am posting to let you know that there's a regional facebook group available for people with chicken hobby farms in the Pacific Northwest. The facebook group is not a replacement to BYC so please don't leave this forum. "Backyard Chickens PNW" (as it's simply called) is a way for Washington, Oregon and Idaho people to connect with each other about things that are local. Like the meetup group in Portland. Or the brands of chicken feed that are available here. Or to find a particular breed of chicken . . . that type of thing.

To find the group, search on facebook by entering "Backyard Chickens PNW" or click on the link below.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/362833163809793/

Please take a moment to consider if you know of others that may be interested in the group. If so please let them know the group exists.

May your nests be dry, your eggs be whole and your chickens be healthy!
