Hi all!
Redmond, OR here! New to chickens and LOVING EVERY MINUTE!![]()
The other night, the feed store hosted a two hour class on raising chickens. They set up an area in the warehouse for the meeting ... it looked like there were about 50 people there, many of them new to chickens. A representative from Purina was there ... he did a slide-show presentation, most of the information is also on their website ... and someone else answering questions about diseases and coop supplies. They also had refreshments for us humans, and gave us free t-shirts. After the meeting, they kept the store open for us, and all chicken supplies were 25% off. It was fun talking to everyone. The people from the store said it was a lot of new faces, so I think this chicken thing is really catching on.

Yep! I really like the Newberg Wilco. I'm pretty sure the staff there all think we're nuts, but at least they're nice about it. We were sitting in the very front row, on the right. It was a good size crowd!
What kind(s) of chicks did you get?
Yup thats us i hope you are having fun with your babies they are a lot of fun nice selectionI remember you guys! (I'm assuming you were the lady next to the guy in the black hat...hehe)
We got 4 chicks...a buff orpington, a black australorp, a rhode island red, and a cuckoo marans. They're all learning to flap their rapidly growing wings and sit on the roost we just put in their brooder.
