Hi fellow Oregonians! My husband and I live in NE Portland with our three kiddos. I have asked for a coop for Christmas and the hubs is in the process of building it for us. So excited to be a part of the backyard chicken club.

Hi, welcome. I'm just west of Salem proper on a little acreage. Right now I have four hens -- one BA, two BOs, and a BR. They are 8 months old and are great little egg layers. Not to mention very entertaining. What breed of chickens do you plan to get?

My girls are staying under the deck for the most part. My boys are all over the place singing their song.

Our girls stayed on the patio, we throw hay down for them to be on today they sat on the hay until the grass started to show.

Grants Pass.....for now. Hoping to move more Murphy-ish this summer, get out of the Urban Growth Boundary

.

So tired of rain. And mud.

Started a FB group called In the Henhouse.
I think some of my friends were getting annoyed with all my chicken talk and chicken pictures

I'm in Grants Pass and have a nice Salmon Faverolles cockerel to sell. I was going to put him in a breeding pen this spring, but I just lost my last Faverolles pullets to a predator this weekend

and I'm already cockerel heavy. He's 9 months old, very correct build. He's been slow to mature, just started crowing about 2 weeks ago and today was the first time I've seen him attempt to mate a hen, although my head rooster may have something to do with that. He's over 8lbs already, and should continue to fill out over the next few months. I'll get pictures up when the sun comes out

and I'll also have an ad on CL.

We named him Gabriel, after the comedian Gabriel Iglesias, cause he's so fluffy

. My birds are more livestock than pets, but I have the inkling he'd be perfectly content to be someone's lap chicken, given a little time. He's kind of clumsy and dorky, but so lovable.

Edited--Gabriel has found a new home with some lovely ladies! So happy I didn't have to butcher that lovable guy
