Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[FFAChickenFan]

Hey Everybody!

This is so cool to see so many chicken enthusiasts in Washington- I'm glad to start out my chicken days in a state that has friendly, welcoming chicken folk like you guys
I just got started with a batch of 9 Blue Ameraucana eggs (Of which only 1 hatched so far! :< ) and a week ago picked up 5 Buff Orpington babies.
I'm finishing up building my coop and run in my backyard with my family, and we're really stoked to start our first summer with chickens!

I hate to be the person who starts out their first post with a question, but are any of you guys Ameraucana breeders here in the Puget sound area? I see a lot of Ameraucana fans out in middle/eastern washington, but almost nothing near me!

Looking forward to being a part of this community

I didn't know there was powdered Corid. That would be easier to store. I just know that the Dels has been bad for me. I went in last time looking for Eprinex and as soon as I said the word chicken they were trying to tell me I just needed the powdered antibiotic because it would work better.

I know that Wilco Farm Stores carries it.

Hi there, glad you joined us. And yes, there are Ameraucana breeders around the Puget sound area, just can't remember who offhand. But, as soon as people read your post, someone will let you know!

Well, you know, I guess it makes sense for me to build the outside brooder tomorrow even though I'm going to put most of the chicks on craigslist as soon as I'm 100% sure that I've IDed all the pullets (hah), since I'll also be starting as many eggs as I can put in the incubator Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hooray for logic!

There are a few breeders that are part of this thread and just peeps that have Ameraucana's. Where about are you located that will help with where to send you. Is there a particular type that you'd prefer.

Thanks, Glad I joined too! Everyone on here has been so friendly so far- its been a great introduction to chicken-keeping!

Thank you! I'm seeing that! You guys are so nice, thank you for the warm welcome.

Thank you so much for the reply, I appreciate any help I can get! Right across the water from Seattle, in Port Orchard is where I live. I honestly don't mind driving a little ways to find a good breeder, but not terribly far of course.
Blue Ameraucanas are the birds that I'm rather infatuated with- they're terribly lovely, in my opinion

Welcome!

I love the ameraucana as well. I'm not sure who all has blue ones.

Unfortunately, Amelia didn't make it. She died earlier this afternoon. The rest of the flock seems fine, but I'm continuing the corid for them just in case. Sad day.
