Starting from "scratch" in Rainier, OR!

[Yay Chicks!]

Welcome!! Of my four birds, my Plymouth Barred Rock is the most consistent layer of light brown eggs. She has a pretty fun personality as well. But I agree with others that having a variety is great. Have fun and make sure you let us see pictures of your coop progress

Hi BuddhaChick! Welcome! I have just got back into BackyardChickens. I love being here...so much info! I am in Cottage Grove, Oregon. I live on 3.5 acres and raise Americana's. At this time I have 13, and getting more this spring. Lovely large green eggs. Am thinking about getting a turkey this year just for fun. A Royal Palm turkey. I joined the Oregon group on this site. You might want to do that, to get connected with others in your area. Save large detergent buckets, by laying them on their sides and filling them with hay my hens love them for nests. Kanike
