I showed my son some silkie pictures, he loved them! I think we'll get a couple.

I really want egg layers. The more eggs, the better. My kids LOOOOVE eggs. One of the few foods they'll consistently eat. Too many breed choices. LOL.

Have you checked out MyPetChicken.com yet? They have a cool breed selection tool that may help!

I'm in the Portland/Vancouver area and am relatively new to raising poultry. A friend had me chicken-sit for a few months and got me hooked.

So far we have Barred Plymouth Rock chickens, a few coturnix quail, and 4 midget white turkey poults. I have also been researching Muscovy ducks and would really like to get some of those.

We raise and show rabbits--satin, mini satin and Himalayan.

Went to the coast & expected to see the sea lions but the little deer was a bonus

Our Brody's chicks are hatching! We knew it was time, so stayed soy of the coop to give her some space. We t in there about 4:30 yesterday afternoon to let some of Nelson's family gather eggs we'd saved in the nesting boxes all day waiting for them to arrive -- they are full grown adult males but LOVE to gather their own eggs, so cute! -- and heard peeping. We just HAD to look. Two already out, one more on its way. These are muts from our mixed flock of hens and five different kinds of rooster, but the one from the white egg is most likely full Brown Leghorn as we only have one kind of white layers so far and he is our top roo. The one from the green egg is a fluffy buff colored Easter Egger with ? as a father, maybe a buff Orpington -- it is exactly that color with a super fluffy face. Later the big brown egg hatched out a dark brown chick -- could be part Black Austrolorp, and there was at least one more chick by bedtime. Can't wait to see what morning brings!

We also need to make sure the little darlings are safe, the broody is comfortable, and their space is as clean as possible. Cuz, you know, we don't have anything else to do with our time!

I have a dog out of some folks that only had one or two litters, a male name Niko. We have one rescue out of California, her name is Maggie. And the rest are out of Aden and Windridge Farms lines. All purebred. I attempted to do some rescue with Catahoula rescue but at the time there werent any showing up in Oregon that they knew about. I ended up working with the local shelters in Central Oregon(where we lived at the time) and there were actually some that came in, both purebred and mixed.

Our girl Delphi is what got me started. Got her out of the Bend Shelter and they thought she was a Catahoula mix. After I learned about them, I dont really think she is, but it doesnt really matter we love her.




As you can see by the ears, definitely not purebred. I think more and more that she is some sort cattle dog mix and that Catahoula isnt very likely. This is her with her cat, Cinderbella, and when I say her cat I mean it. Its much more the cats idea, then Delphi's which makes it quite humorous. Poor Delph gets this panicked look as Bella rubs all over her sometimes. But they do clean each other and sleep together often, so I guess it is a two way street. They are both getting on in years but continue to hang out together. Its interesting to me that they are both dilute and mixed colors(calico and brindle), it doesnt look like it would be difficult to tell where one begins and the other ends, but sometimes it is. LOL, especially if you add a bunch of little Poms to the pic, which happens sometimes around here.
I would put up pics of the big dogs but at this time dont seem to have any on this computer. Maybe another time.

I do know what they are...but you don't see pb houlas around here. I have a mix, and I used to volunteer with Catahoula rescue. What lines do you have?
