Hey all im from bend. You might want to be careful around waterfowl and your chickens because if the Avian Flu. The deschutes county fair has i chickens now because of it.

I contacted the OR vet last week, the last case of AI was February 15. We were considering no birds at the fair here in Josephine County, since heat is supposed to knock it back and it's been scorching hot we are going ahead and I'm very comfortable with the decision.

Oregon folks, I've got 10 wk old Blue Lace & Black Orpington cockerels. Perfect for a 4H project. See listing in rehome and for sale forums. I've hand raised them myself. A couple of these birds are really worth breeding or for show. The best of the lot free to any young person in 4H who is interested. I am located in Salem.

Hey there BYCers!

My wife and I are the proud owners of five chickens! We've had them for a few months now and I've just finished up their run, their coop was done a month ago. I'm going to put some bedding in tomorrow and from what I've read sand seems like a good option.

All that being said my wife and I have never owned chickens, and we're also new to the Pacific Northwest! We live on a ranch like property in Western Washington by Portland Oregon. I'm just wondering if anyone has any thoughts, tips or things I should be particularly aware of raising chickens in an area that is rainy for so many months of the year.

I have a 6x15 ft. run and about 7.5 ft. of it is covered with metal roofing to give them a bit of moisture relief and shade. Other than that I'm stoked to be part of your community and I'm looking forward to my new hobby!

Running a drain line around the coop is a great idea here.

We also think light is important, so have things set up so the interior of the coop gets lots of daylight from the sides, but has some shade from above.
