I apologize in advance if my questions seem silly, but we are completely new to chickens and farm stores.

I have had a few people ask me if my chicks were vaccinated for Mareks. I have no clue. My adult daughter bought the chicks from Wilco and gave us a few of her extras. Do any of you know if Wilco uses a particular hatchery and if chicks are routinely vaccinated for Mareks here in Oregon?

I was going to contact Wilco but thought I would ask here first.

Thanks,
the mom (family account)

I think the only way to know is to ask Wilco. The person who does the chicks at my local Wilco is super friendly and helpful, but you need to have specific questions for her.

Hey everyone! I didn't know there was an Oregon thread, I'm hoping someone here can help. (Like, I'm internally quite frantic.) I'm looking for a really good bird vet. One that's capable of orthopedic surgery and repair on beaks. I'm willing to drive I just want to try to do as much as I can to lower the risk of entrusting her care to someone who isn't as good as their website makes them sound. Any good recommendations? I'm in Central Oregon, going to Portland is fine, but for her sake I'd like to keep the drive under 4 hours so I'll be able to do round trips in a day if I need to. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/893958/oregon-bird-vet-and-tell-me-i-have-hope-for-this-beak

Try Dr. Marli Lintner at the Avian Medical Center in Lake Oswego. She comes and speaks at our local Poultry Seminar and I like her. I've had to call the office for advice and they are very helpful.

Hey Central Oregon!! I'm from Central Oregon, too!! WOOT!!

I take it you have a hen who has what is known as Scissor Beak. I can't advise as to a bird vet in our area, but have a look at this page and see if it isn't something you can tackle yourself:

Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

Hi everyone, new to chicken keeping in PDX. My chicks are coming tomorrow from C&L Farms in Oregon City. First time having chickens since I was a kid on my grandparents farm. I've been renting this place with a yard for about 2 years now, we talked about getting a few goats, ended up having my interest in chicken keeping rekindeld by my neighbor who has a flock of her own, which i've been admiring from my yard for quite a while now. I notced she was brooding some new chicks and found out she was getting a new coop and offered me her old coop, and a pair of 3 week old Delaware's. I went ahead and placed an order for ten more chicks to give them some company. 2x Amaracauna/Black Maran (hopefully olive eggers?), 2x SIlver Laced Wyandotte, 2x Gold Laced Wyandotte, 1x Blue Maran, 1x Splash Maran, and 2x Buff Polish. They're all 3-5 weeks old. Will upload some photos tomorrow when they arrive. Pretty excited not sure if I can sleep, haha. Went to Foster Farm supply today and picked up a bag of organic chicken starter, feeders, a light, some straw bedding... Got the brooder all set up and ready to go.
