Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[DeltaBluezTess]

I am leaving tomorrow for camping and will be back Sunday night as well. I would be happy to meet up with you sometime next week.

I can trade you some SFH eggs for him.

 

[SandBsmom]

If you will give him a happy home then he's yours. No trade necessary. My husband already thinks I have too many chickens and he doesn't realize there are 5 more than he thinks!!!!!

I am free Monday morning and tuesday afternoon and again Wednesday morning. Would you like to meet at one of those times? Maybe down woodinville-Duvall rd? I'm open to meeting suggestions.

I can't swear here, can I? Because I feel like swearing. I lost another one of the Hamburgs: Maggie was dead of a broken neck, I think, crashed down at the bottom of the door to the coop when I went out this morning: no missing feathers, even, her feet in fight position and her head down and loose.
I guess I could just put up a string of big red asterisks, that would express my current state of mind, so:
*** ****** *********!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does that help?
Well, no, actually, not so much.
Not even after adding the exclamation points.

Sorry to hear that. I'm down to one pair of Rhodebars instead of 2, so I understand. Found roo 2 huddled by himself by the feeder on the lower level. I think he fell (midnight snack run?) and broke something, couldn't get up and between shock and cold, he was gone. I've concocted a temporary 'door' until hubby can make a real one. It was SOOO nice not to have to let them out in the AM, too. PM and cuss if you need to. I can always just pretend I read it

I have that darn pesky day job and I don't get home until 6:30 so we can meet in Duvall or ?

Yup, that's about it. I went around to check if anything had dug under the fence and gotten into the pen, but all I found was that the cattle had stuck their tongues in as far as they could to get the green grass between the pasture fence and the yard fence, which might have startled her. There's a couple of blood streaks down the inside of the door, and with that and the position I found her in, and the fact she weighed more than the Am rooster who died (and he was a big example of a much bigger breed, while she was the smallest of the Hamburg hens) tends to make me think she stupided herself to death.

Still need to get the other two out of that pen and the two other hens in with them. Problem is that I need help to get that accomplished and it's going to take more than one other person to get it done.

And, of course, the wedding's coming up in eleven days, and the Thurston County Fair the week after that (which takes The Nephew out of the calculation).

Blast those day jobs! They complicate everything.
I could do Duvall on Tuesday night or we could wait until the weekend if that is easier for you. I'm so happy to have found a nice home for him just let me know what works best for you.

Garden & Coop Tour in Bremerton

I just found this last night and thought I'd share in case anyone in Kitsap, or elsewhere, might be interested. I'm going to try hard to 1) remember, and 2) actually go! LoL Here's a link if you're interested.... Gee... could it be like a mini-Kitsap-Meetup? Anyone?

 

[DeltaBluezTess]

How about Wed...I work from home and able to adjust my schedule. Morning is best

A couple of days ago, I woke up to the distinctive yipping of a coyote. In the almost six years we've been here I haven't seen or heard one before. This one sounded like it was in the driveway right outside my window. Fortunately, I hadn't let the chickens out yet (still being alseep and all). I'm going to have to get them into their pens earlier in the evening I think. My five and six foot fences aren't tall enough to stop them.
