Welcome!

I'm in Springfield, and have a chicken friend that I met on BYC over in Eugene. It has been wonderful to be able to share chicks and chickens and hatching eggs and advice and commiseration with her. I don't know what I would do without her! We can always enlarge our 'support group'...

What kind and how many chicks are you getting? I got 'starter' chicks one year ago from costal and wilco. Do you get to have roosters?

I WANT to see a cat to supernatural icon.

Hi to both of you! I'm in Monroe, north of Eugene and Junction City off Hwy. 99w. I don't know what a support group would be like, but it would be fun to be in contact locally. Is there room for me?

My 10 pullets are 6 weeks old: Buff Orp., Black Sex Link, Ameraucana, Barred Rock. I have 2 "wild" banty hens that I'm stalking...
 
absolutely - the more the merrier - what do they call them, um hen parties? anyhow yeah, it's been kinda hectic for me lately, getting my set-up for the incoming babies, and an out of state show next week, but mostly ready. Still have to build my coop and run, but they will be living in the "mud-room" for the first couple months so I have a bit of time. I've made one run to Bring for building materials - and scored 4 framed windows for $2.50 each and a good door for $10 - still need my wire and a few other things, want to make it "coon-proof" although a friend who lives out past Elmira lets his run loose during the day... sounds scary to me since he also has a cougar that "marks" his tires if he parks in one particular spot, but he says he's only lost a couple in the past few years, maybe he's got no coons because the cougar eats them, and the chickens don't interest it??? feel free to e-mail me at my personal addy, so we don't clog up the forum with exterraneous stuff.

I thought some of you might find this useful: when I was at Coastal Supply today, buying their brand of organic layer pellets (sorry, I don't remember the name at the moment), I was told that they are discontinuing carrying organic feed, and what they had left was discounted - from $22 to $10 for a 50 lb sack. Needless to say, I bought the last 3 sacks that they had. But was told that other branches might still have some. 3 sacks is enough for my little flock for the next 6-7 months, so I won't go looking for more. But it might be worth checking out, if you have a Coastal nearby.

Just don't waste your time going to the Roseburg store - as of this afternoon their last 3 bags are gone!

I helped some friends get their first chicken flock started this weekend. We went to Pistil's Nursery on North Mississippi. It was awesome, we got three little barred rock hens. I think we got the last few Rocks and the rest were black sex links. Also, they had some serama roosters. The sign said they are the world's smallest breed of chicken. Does anyone know what they're for? Just for the sake of novelty, or was there a purpose?

Anyway, it's kind of pricey I think, but Pistil's is a good experience. I think they'll be getting chicks every week all spring and part of the summer.
