Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I am not actually sure if was a rock chuck. It was bigger than my fat Jack Russell. It charged at me when I came upon it scratching at the coop. I ran back into the house to get the gun and when I got back with the gun it was back trying to get under the chicken wire. Afterwards, I tried googling 'the creature' and the closest description was a rock chuck. Rock chucks are very common around here but I have never seen one that big or colored the same. My working theory is that it some sort of mutant Hanford reservation creature, possibly an X-file.
they are all variety's that are classified as marmot's
 
Hello from rainy SW Washington

I have been following the great advice from here for about a year and decided I should probably join in the conversations. So I'm new to the forums. I have a small flock. 2 Buff Orphington hens and a Buff Roo, 2 RIR hens, and 1 White Rock hen. I have 2 hens sitting on clutches(1 hen has 7,other has 11) which is all new to me. So if all goes well we should have 18 chicks in the next week or so. Exciting

Good to see you again, taking time to read posts again

still plan the new chicken run but will use pcv instead of hog wire
so we can drag it around easier lord knows our
lovely chickens can decimate any ground they are on

I totally agree! I said I had never had a broody hen, that night and tonight's after that one of my henswas sleeping in the nest box. So I went out and put her back up on the roost. So far she still up on the roost tonight. And I got six eggs from six adult chickens today so I guess that's good.
But if this hen goes brooding I'm going to blame you just because :)
Hey not me !!

@Hinotori started it all!
