Thanks for the link, some fine birds there, but we're in Oregon and I don't like to order birds through the mail. Plus their minimum order for each breed is more than we can handle. We need a total of 4-5 more birds, no room for a 20+. If anyone in Oregon, preferably Portland, has any of these I am still searching, but considering its getting close to fall, and how susceptible young girls are to cold, we'll have to probably hold off until next summer.

Ok no problem. You could mix breeds to meet minimum. But if you don't want them shipped it's ok have a nice day

might go with some hatching eggs next spring, saved your site. Thanks! As far as what's on craigslist right now, I only raise organic chickens, so usually people on CL have birds at point of lay that have been feed conventional feed, so then they're not quite organic.

Hi new here to Or thread,

Looking for work and once I can land a job will be moving to Or. Right now in Wa and I'm surprised that not a lot of people have chickens here. Maybe I'm in the wrong area. 50 miles from Bellingham. I know roos are not welcome in most metro area's like Portland. I have an interview soon in Eugene. Are there a lot of chicken people there?

Thanks
Barb

I am in Eugene and know of several backyard chicken keepers. As "in city" we are technically allowed 2 chickens and no roos, but that is not enforced unless you have a complaining neighbor. I have 8 and my neighbor has 9.

THANKS for letting me know. Wow 2 isnt very much. I too would have to go over just to get enough eggs to eat for myself.

Mostly on nonpoultry topics. But may be useful to some.
