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.
