OOOOOOoooo! Who are you ordering from? Chicks or pullets? I want to order so bad!

Order #1 is McMurray.....and I just placed an order from Hoover's today....
I order day-olds when I order, started birds are too rich for my tastes. I like teaming up with other folks to meet the minimums. If you get ready to take the plunge, I have good luck posting to the local fb groups, etc to find people to order with.

I've never done shipped chicks because I just could meet the minimum, and shipping was too much for me. I am usually pacing outside of Wilco or Coastal in Springfield, waiting for their first chick orders to come in. Eugene Backyard Farmer also has good breeds.

I'm SOOO jealous at the breeds you got! I want some blue eggs too, but I think I am just going for "funny hair" in the backyard now. If I add anything else, it will be a blue layer, and maybe another Welsummer. You'll have to let us know how the True Blues and True Greens turn out, as I've been curious!

Does the lady in Venetia have layers to? I am looking to increase my flock this spring.

I'm not sure -- you can find her on Facebook, Baiviews Fancy Fowl. Judging by the name, it doesn't sound like the cheapest place to get layers. She has beautiful Silkies though!!!

I have great luck with my cheapie leghorns and barred rocks from Coastal in Springfield. They've been my go-to gals for December, when all the other hens were taking a break. (even my Welsummer has been fairly good laying, actually!).

We got a Tractor Supply Store in Creswell this year too, but I don't know when they will be getting chicks.

Hi Veronique!

Now I'm in TX and hopefully I'll be moving to Troutdale soon. First, I need to sell this property -- and because it is large, and unique (one-of-a-kind - not typical neighborhood residential) the sale may take a long time.

My sis lives in Troutdale. From what I understand the City allows 3 hens and 0 roosters. Are you outside city limits, or did you get grandfathered in? Actually I kind of think posting chicken pictures would be a cool thing for the Oregon thread... I think I will scroll through this thread and see if anyone else has posted pictures of their chickens in OR.

ETA: nice chicken picture in your avatar.

Hi ChicKat !
Lol , one of my chickens is called Cat. When she first saw a cat , she ran after it and 'sang' ( first time I heard her ), letting everyone in the yard know.
I live outside the city limits , so we have no restrictions.We have a little over 2 acres and are surrounded by farms.
I think I will post pictures and have more info regarding all the birds. I'm having a hard time thinking about about loosing all of them. Hopefully I will be ready when the time comes.
The chicken in my avatar was one of my absolute favourites , Goldy or Pumpkin as I sometimes called her. She disappeared Friday , 2 days after I used her picture as my avatar.
Wish you luck in the sale of your property ! I'm sure you will love Troutdale as I do.
