I love all these new Oregonians on our thread!!
Welcome everyone!!
I haven't seen weasels but I know there are minks in our area in Beaverton. @Ol Grey Mare gave some good advice... hard ware cloth, covered run. Depends on your priorities & comfort level.
I free range mine during the day and then lock them tight at night. But I know they are pretty savvy & have figured out some good hiding places.
What part of Portland are you in? Most people I know who have chickens in the city are in NE. What's your flock like?
Good question! I only know of 1 person in Portland who has a turkey. Just one tom. He freaked me out the first time I met him because he kept following me around with his wing dragging & I had no idea what he was doing -- if this was a sign of aggression or what! Turns out he was just trying to show me how sexy he was
So do you think it's finally spring?

Hi Ol.....
I have a five (now almost 4) chicken flock and live in Portland, Multnomah County. I have an entire fenced-in yard for the chickens, a coup/house and an apiary. The girls are; Buffy(Buff Orphington/EasterEgger, Dot (Wyandotte), Gilly (Wyandotte) Ruthie (Australorp) and Nellie (the sick girl, an Australorp as well) I inherited them with the house I bought 2 years ago. I'm crazy in love with them.
I’m located in Eugene area.
Would any one be interested. They are free.

Hello all! Just wanted to say that I'm looking for a good broody hen in OR (Beep, my sweet broody, died recently). Can drive to medford or Roseburg, Oregon (or pretty much anywhere in between) but she's gotta be a good broody that sticks with it. 
The breed matters little. However, I am going for a clean legged breed because my girls free range most of the time. Also, I would prefer a hen that is friendly/easily handled.

He's a beauty. If you don't have any luck here, try an ad on Craigslist. It took over 3 months, and I had flyers and ads every where, but I re-homed my Roo. You might try posting a color flyer at the OSU extension office in Eugene (near Jefferson street?). Give one for the Master Gardeners office and one for the 4H person. It would be a shame for such a beautiful rooster to end up at freezer camp. Good luck!
Here is the coop. The fencing goes a foot underground, 18 inches out and backfilled with rocks and soil of course. The corrugated roof is in the second, above my son's gorgeous flower garden project.

What a beautiful Oregon pre-spring day it was! I took my chickies outside and they wanted nothing to do with stepping out of the box and onto the grass, and they weren't having it. So I filled up their box with fresh grass and they still enjoyed the sun
