Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Chickielady]

I was out yesterday not too long after noon when our neighbors decided to start shooting their fireworks off OVER OUR HOUSE. I kid you not.

They couldn't see me, since I was on the other side of the house from them. But sheee-it. What jerks.

They've got PLENTY of land where they could have aimed their fireworks, but since it was drizzling a bit they decided to shoot them off from the front of their garage door, which just happens to face our house.

I was working on some walkways in the chicken yard and a bottle rocket blasted right over my head, then landed a couple feet away from me. I took the stick right inside and handed it to Drew, who had a little polite chat with the Orcs.

Where we live the big home-made booms are expected to continue for a few days. Because that's how they've always done it.

Sigh.

ALOT of people had their roofs catch fire from just those kind of jerks !

Hello fellow Washingtonians! I live around the Tacoma area and Yesterday I lost my first Fit and Show bird, and regular show bird, Shilo. She was a grand champ and reserve champ at Fit and Show at the Puyallup fair. So I was looking for a somebody whom breeds Bantam Cochins, any variety under the Standard of Perfection, and that breeds Show Quality birds. I am thirteen years old, and looking for new birds to breed out and to keep showing and keep at my hobby! Thank you!

Cheryl Butler springs immediately to mind, I think she only has Whites and Blacks though. Ciera Walters might have some other varieties and does a good job with them.

Contacted Ciera, and got a amazing reply! Thank you so much!

I'm in spokane Wa and have a D'uccle rooster I picked up but the lady lied to me and said he is good with dogs. That is a lie he is completely terrified of them so I'm trying to find him a home with no dogs as I feel it is really unfair for him to stay here.

My Chickens are not afraid of my dog but terrified of any others that they don't know. She may not have lied in that respect. Can you keep the rooster contained in a way that he can see your dog, but not injure himself while he gets used to your dog?

Hello all. I have a good looking bantam Bearded Belgian D'uccle Mille Fleur cockerel I would like to re-home (free to good home). He is 14 weeks old. We cannot have roosters in our neighborhood. Second picture is picture of mother and father of cockerel. I am in Maple Valley. PM me if you are interested.

Got my first egg today!

That first egg!! Isn't it exciting? Started to finally get eggs last week, and today - out of four girls - had 3 in the nest box before noon. I have such plans (quiche, lemon meringue pie, egg sandwiches).
