Someone else probably posted this, but I really don't have time to read the whole thread. Does anyone know any chicken breeders close-ish to Seattle? I l live very close to Seattle, but I can keep chickens here. 

think I'd just post what your looking for.. some people might have what you need

If Noone close has any you might try Craigslist

Your local feed and or pet stores will probably get some chicks in in the spring.

I want breeders where I know where they come from. I'm going to the feed store in the spring, but after that I'm going to adopt a roo so I can breed my own chicks, and get from local breeders, if I can find any.

Right now I have to Wyandottes And they are great. I plan to get about six more chickens. I'm getting them for eggs but also just as pets. I plan to keep them their whole lives. I can't decide whether to wait till spring and get some baby chicks or buy some started pullets in January. I might do a combination of both, maybe get two or three started pullets and then two or three babies in the spring. I like the idea of having chickens of various ages The problem is that the shipping costs for the started once is so high. And it seems like most of the hatcheries are pretty far away, does anybody know of any that are in the Washington Oregon Idaho area?
I am still getting acquainted with the site, is there a list of hatcheries or breeders by region? I live in Eastern Washington and can't seem to find much. I am interested in various braids, but mostly the dual purpose cold hardy ones.

Meat birds, egg birds, plumage birds, or dual/triple purpose birds?

You could check out websites like efowl.com I've had some luck with them. If you do Web order, do it soon before the temps drop too low for shipping chicks.
