Hey all, I'm in Grants Pass and have some nice Marans chicks for sale. I've got a blue rooster over one blue and the rest black and black copper hens. The hens lay about a 4 on the Marans scale, but they're also 4 years old. I'd imagine the pullet chicks would lay a 6 or so when they start laying. The parent stock are nice breeder quality birds, larger and wider bodied than hatchery stock. The chicks hatched active and ready to go, good eaters and drinkers from the start. They're $5 each straight run. I've got some pics to post now from the desktop and will get more from my phone.
I'm also hatching some silkie/bantam cochin and silkie chicks, got chicks in the hatcher as I type. This pen is a black silkie rooster over a buff silkie hen, four black bantam cochin hens and one birchen bantam cochin hen. This cross makes some of the cutest chicks, and they're good with little kiddos. They're friendly and tolerate handling well, they make great backyard pets. My hens are decently broody but also lay surprisingly well. These chicks are $3 each straight run.
PM me if interested
One quick question - as we are not set on any particular area just yet does anyone know if there are any known chicken UNfriendly communities? I know that Portland tends to be pretty progressive in general and so far different things I've found show they have readily embraced the urban homesteading movements, but if there are areas that at this time do not allow backyard poultry would love to know so I can cross them right off my list as I am starting to narrow our housing choices, etc.
One county you need to avoid is Washington county it is the richest county in Oregon, unless you don't mind paying the prices to live here.
Hi there,
we just started our flock TODAY. Everyone in the house picked out their own 2 day old chick.
We named our own.
I named my silver wyandotte Lady Eboshi from the movie Princess Mononoke.
My 9 year old named her Americauna - Little Chestnut (soon to be Chestnut when she gets bigger)
and the rest are still mulling it over (Easter Egger and Copper Maran)
Is there a forum specifically for people in Portland?
All good thus far.
Thanks
Beautiful NH! I see you are in Jefferson and raising GNH....what is GNH...a designation of New Hampshire?
Jefferson is down below Salem right?
Not this year, but maybe next I'd like to get some more really nice NH.

BGMatt - have you try posting this in WA forum as well?Hey guys, I'm posting because one of my non-Internet savvy friends is being forced by poor health to get rid of his flock of Buff Leghorns. He's been working with them a couple decades and is hoping people will want to continue his work, and asked me to help him find homes for them. The birds are located in Battle Ground, WA. I can vouch for the productivity of his lines, since it was one of the sources I got my start from, lot of potential there.

Sorry I'm new to chicken this year and do not understand what you mean by "continue his work".
