Hi. Im new here! We've got our brooder set up and are in the process of building our coop. Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for where to get chicks locally? We're out in the fall city/carnation/ duvall area, but dont mind traveling a ways for better/healthier chicks. Im looking for wyandotte's, orpingtons, and barred rock's. Thank you!!!

We received ours as Baxter Barnes in Fall City.

Oh my gosh CL that is pretty and wow a lot of work went into that baby. I'm new at quilting and just want to do it all, my problem my girlfriend said is I'm going for some of the hardest ones. She keeps telling me there is time to do them.

Actually, this is a "strip quilt" as is it's twin "stacked bricks"
BOTH are strip quilts, which are so super easy and so super fast !!!
You cut strips as wide as the colored sections, and sew them long to the white sections.
The sewed sections can be as wide as your fabri is...which is nice to use up fragments....
after all that, you press it opn, and then rotary cut the braids, or bricks as they call them in the stacked brick quilt.
A stacked brick has a white section on each end, a french braid has just one white.



THIS was one I made for my son...and it also is easy peasy !!!

The back of this huge quilt was shown here...love this "watercolor" looking fabric!!!

My DP and I have done a few quilts. She has mad skillz with her sewing machine and I help with design, cutting, pressing, whatever she tells me to do as long as I don't have to run the machine

Here's our latest:

Also anyone know where to get the info on how much is to much black sunflower seed?
I buy it to feed once in a while, when i do my chickens begin laying more eggs. So i'm considering adding some to their regular treats. Their "food" i call treats because they free range so they don't really eat much as way of "chicken food"

? WHY ???

Just sharing for awareness.

Same person.

All her birds have been euthanized due to respiratory infection.
If you bought from her test your flock.

Also it's recommend that she be blacklisted from having birds sold to her. But that is ultimately your call.

Here is why.
