What breeds do you have crazycayuga. I am starting to breed bantam cochins and they are a ton of fun

Who all is in Oregon? I am in Oregon City!

I'm in McMinnville, OR!! Go Oregon!!

I have five 10 wk old Silkies. Two white, buff, partridge, and a black one. I'm a first time chicken owner and loving it! I can't have Roos, so it will be sad to part with my babies. I'm enjoying all of your posts!

Hi to all the web-foots!


We're natives, and have 10 acres in the country near Sheridan (southeast of McMinnville).  We've been discussing and planning our coop/run design, breeds, etc. for quite some time, but it's time to make it a reality.  We culled the used building materials stores in Salem today (best:  ReStore, the Habitat for Humanity store in Salem, and a good cause, too!).  We now have our materials and we're starting construction tomorrow .... yippee!  And, tonight, we ordered our chicks, which will arrive the week of July 21.  30 chicks (15 layers, 15 meat), and the delivery time is good to complete the construction of our coop and run setup.


Anywho ... just wanted to give a shout out to our neighbors.  I'm sure we'll make mistakes, and have lots of questions ... and, hopefully we'll be able to share our failures and successes to help others who are new to raising chickens, too. 


I have raised chickens previously ... grew up on a farm, but it's been 20 years, so I have a lot to learn (and remember!).  The hubby is excited about this venture, though he has never raised poulty.  It will be an adventure, for sure!


Gotta love the sun, but what happened to Spring???

What's the rescues website?

Sanctuary One, but they likely wont take him. Last I was there, they already had one rooster, and won't tale another. But it doesnt hurt to ask! Try Craigslist, or ask at the feed stores if you can put up a sign. People will be looking for roos for breeding!

Just a shot in the dark... is anybody here interested in Aloha chicks?

https://www.pinterest.com/alohachickens/aloha-chickens/

These were developed and bred by a good friend of mine from AZ, but she only ships to new breeders because they are still so rare (in 25-chick lots) and that's too many for my little brooder/coop setup and I am totally not able to be a breeder.

They are an american version of the swedish flower hen. They are doing really well for her and are easy keepers and prolific layers... anybody interested?
