There are certainly "bubbles" of Salem I choose to avoid, but I live in the southern part and luckily I don't have to leave the area often as south has all the stores I need, etc. There is some beautiful country on the outskirts at all directions for sure though.

I had a great time at the poultry swap in Corvallis today! I saw tons of beautiful birds. Took me a while to find one that said take me home. But I finally found her. And now my little backyard flock is complete. The hard part is being patient enough to keep her quarentined as long as I should. But I will use this time to get her used to us. My other four I've raised from three days old so they come right to us and eat out of our hands. Our new girl (no name yet) is a bit skidish, but I did manage to get her to eat some yogurt off my finger. So it's a start!
Isn't she pretty?

I also had a great time at the poultry swap today. It was my first event in the poultry world. I dragged my mom along to help me with my hobby, and she helped me buy a pair of my dream birds, as well as some great additions to my growing duck flock. Good times!

I went sand! I was cleaning the coop and run last night as we are having a "hen house warming" today. Husbands family is coming over to see his handy work. Good thing it's raining. But I was cleaning yesterday and decided to give sand a try in the run. Any tips or tricks. So far it looks drier. So that's good.

I've heard of several people going with sand. I guess it's a good thing if you are one to keep the poop cleaned up. I go a more natural way. Our run is a dirt floor and I currently have a nice thick layer of straw covering it. The girls have a BLAST digging through it catching bugs. I haven't noticed to much poop but I think that's because the girls sift the straw around so much the the poop falls down to the dirt level. Stays pretty dry too, well not muddy anyways lol.
Good luck. I hope it works for you
