Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and wanted to know if anyone has fertile chickens eggs for sale. I live in the Bellevue area so if there is anyone in the area, that would be great, but I am willing to drive farther for this. One of my hens became broody and I can't "unbroody" her. I figured I might as well make her happy and make my kids happy in the process too

Thanks!!

Check out Keep It Simple nursery in Redmond. Tad might give you a few eggs from his flock.

OMG! Something is trying to reduce my flock for me.

I've lost 4 ducks in one month.


I lost 2 last month in one day, a few hours apart in daylight.

then last monday I lost one, and yesterday I lost one while I was cooking dinner!

The ducks were spooked and ran. My meal was in the pan so I did not go out to look.

5mins later I saw my stressed out ducks huddled at the side of the deck and there were only 3. I had 4 before dinner.

I have a 4 foot high run. I'm thinking I should get chicken wire to cover the top. The run is 20 x10.

I also have 2 hotwire gizmos that I used to train my dogs. Maybe I should rig that too.

I think it was a bobcat. There were no puffs of feathers or anything. Not one feather! This is WAR! I'm going to keep the ducks in the tractor till I can improve the run.

Ah, Corgis! We really loved our little girl (Pembroke not Cardigan). Nice mannered, intelligent and a wonderful foot warmer. Ours had a fine figure even to the day she died.

I'm looking forward to the new boy though - I'm sure he'll keep this girl in check!

My Corgi has a smiley face that belongs to a 2yr old. They are so cute.

Once the critters discover you have dinner hanging around, they remember and keep coming back for takeout.

Hi All, New to chickens and new to this site. So I am getting ready to turn an old kids playhouse into a coop. Do I need to insulate it here in WA?

I am need to get the chickens out of my office. They are about 5 weeks old are they ready to go out without a heat lamp?

Thanks
