Hey there Folks! I want to start focusing more on breeding Silkies, so I am looking for a local source for high quality chicks or hatching eggs. I would love them to be from a more well-known breeder, but I do not want to go through the hardships/ cost loss involved with shipping eggs from the East Coast.. Bobbi Porto line, Geri Godina, Catdance Silkies, etc. I do not want partridge or white. I am specifically looking for B/B/S, Paints, Lavender, Porcelain or Buff. I am in Portland, and will drive a bit to pick them up, but not hours or anything....

Also, I would take shipped eggs from here in Oregon, but don't want them flying across the country where many of the good Silkie breeders are located...

Thanks!

Catdance is located just outside Battleground, WA. I will not have any stock available until next year. KMHunter has Black and Blue(separate pens) but is in Seattle and I don't think she ships.

Getting the coop done. Should be finished this weekend. Question for all you experts... How far apart should I space the rungs on the chicken ladder into the coop?

Funny, just two days ago we had the AC running, Yesterday started back up the pellet stove...

Welcome! Springfield here!

Great coop, but are you building that thing only inches away from the neighbor's window? you're gonna get complaints.....

Does anyone know of a good hatchery to use or know anyone with ducklings available apparently my order from the grange was misplaced

Boondockers Farm in Beavercreek is hatching Saxony and Ancona ducklings. We got Ancona from them and are in LOVE!

Thanks! I thought of the proximity issue, but the house is abondonded at the moment. Owners gave it up to the bank. Anyone new moving in can clearly see the coop. There's no ordinace for distance from houses in our town. And we wanted our daughter to be able to see the chickens from our living room window. She's allergic to the sun and can't get out in the yard often. We've talked to our other neighbors who are jealous we're getting chickens and have no problem with it. I compulsively clean up after my animals too. So we will se ehow it goes.

Need help.....got a hen sitting on eggs for over 21 days. Haven't tried to candle any, but think they are duds. Got them on EBay . What I need is a few chicks to stick under her so she will be a happy hen. Everyone has quit selling baby chicks in central Oregon, anyone know of any place in central Oregon still having baby chicks? I've called hatcheries and they say 5 weeks till they can ship. Need them now, or just tell her to get off the nest and back to laying.;P
