Hi! I'm from Coos Bay, and have 28 chickens! Not many BYCers on here are from my area. My mom is ZepChick, so obviously she is from the same place too... Glad to see so many Oregonians!

Yea K7menagerie Would Not Be The 4th Without The Butte Catching Fire. Great Tradition.

Natural born Oregonian, once removed. Small flock in Woodburn. Might need to make it smaller, since I just read that the city ordinance only allows three foul in a yard.

Especially the two roosters (banties). Any takers?

They are about 16 weeks old, but they haven't been handled too much. They aren't people aggressive and they don't fight the other birds! I think they are sweet birds and are free to a good home. I have a neighbor that would be more than happy to take them, but she plans on using them as ingredients for dinner.

Hope to see you around!

I live right up the road from you and yes Woodburn is kind of lame...but I'll take it over the way over crowded Gladstone I used to live in. At least in Woodburn it's not bumper to bumper traffic...the local vet is wonderful and you can't beat the Mexican food and the awesome fresh stir fry at Gina's.

Couldn't agree more about Gina's. YUM!!

Im just 2 hours south of you.. I may be moving to Coos Bay in the near future.. That is if my DH can find a job, and we can find something to rent that allows pets.. 3 chihuahuas & 1 cat.. I dont have my birds right now. We are trying to downsize so we can move next year..

Hey you folks in the Portland area! Are you all prepared for the heat this next few days? May get close to or even hit 100!

This is my first summer caring for our five lovely pullets. We live in the Cedar Hills area near Beaverton. They have a 50 foot totally roofed sand run with lots of shade. I plan on misting the sand in the AM and maybe a a few times if needed. I can place a fan toward part of it and I already added another water station. We have their windows in the henhouse open (they are covered with hardware cloth so its safe). With all this I still worry as it came on so suddenly. Perhaps some ice too?
