Hello, new here from Hillsboro. No chickens yet, but eventually.

Welcome! You're in my neck of the woods if you ever need help/have questions on your (future) birds.

Hello!
I’m from Eugene and looking for some pullets, about 6ish weeks old.

If I could find silkies, that would be great but I’m kind of just looking to see what’s out there.

Willing to drive outside of eugene too

Hi! I'm in Canby.
I have a bunch of Swedish breeds: Hedemora, Olandsk Dwarf, Svart Hona, and Swedish Flower.... along with a bunch of Australorps and other random egg layers.

I'm curious to know if anyone else out there in Oregon has any of the Swedish breeds of chickens?

Howdy, from NoPo. We find ourselves with a wanna-be broody 1 year old. Black Jersey Giant, and not great timing as our current 5 are almost daily layers, often squabbling over the same nest box. and 5 i incubated this winter are almost ready to lay and appear obsessed with the same nest box.

Considering our alternatives. We'd prefer local hatching eggs if possible, if i can't break her of her nest fixation in the coming days. Anyone wanna buy a sweet Broody to raise your new flock additions? Wylie was raised mostly organically, no vaccines. Loves to scratch around under shrubs after laying, and stays close to flock mates. Talkative before she needs to lay and appreciates an escort to walk her to the nest. I have an Incubator which could be used as a backup. Wylie lays light brown eggs almost daily...but we have no Rooster. I don't know if she'd stay broody if re-homed and kenneled for quarrantine?

Meantime, Ill try breaking her of Broodiness...but idk how that will go. We have 2 separate corral areas now and could create a Brooder coop away from the kerfluffle zone.

Mixed feelings about this as i don't wanna lose sleep over another set of babies so soon after doing it 2x in the past year! Since i had to care for 9 inside the house Feb til. spring we are tired of having chickens in the house. If she's a crappy momma or abandons the eggs. I'd be on duty again LOL.

Anyway, I may be looking for Ameraucana, EE and other interesting (Polish, Lavenders, Welsummer, Brahma?) hatching eggs or female chicks SOON to put under her at night. Idk how long til a Broody might accept Chicks? What if she doesn't? ACK!

This might be coming a little late but I have ameraucana hatching eggs available if you're still looking! My rooster is lavendar and my hens are blue and splash so resulting chicks will be black or blue (split to lav).

Hello! I’m in Carlton. I have a few Swedish Flowers, hatchery chicks. I’m pretty obsessed with the breed and curious about the other Swedish breeds. I may be interested in getting hatching eggs if you have some on offer in future.

Hi everyone, I've got a Lavendar ameraucana for free in the Silverton area if anyone wants him. He went after me this afternoon and has jumped at my kids a couple times so he has to go. He is wonderful with his hens and kind to his chicks but an absolute turd if you walk by him while he's free ranging. He would be great in a confined run with some girlies.

Here from Molalla Oregon!! Woohoo!!

I was wondering if anyone would like a free barred easter egger cockerel. I had wanted to start a barred ee project but my husband has gently informed me that I have too many chickens

He was hatched by a broody but is very personable and has zero aggression with the other chickens or humans. He carries a blue and a brown egg gene. He's also very soft and has a luscious beard! Great free range forager but will come running from over an acre away to the call "chick chick chick chiiiiiickens!". I wanted to offer him to y'all before he gets turned into chicken nuggets.

Sorry I can’t take him, I hope he can find a good home. Best of luck! We have went through 5 roosters this year, so we are done for!
