Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Hi all. I received a few "overflow" pullets from a co-worker who went on an ordering spree when she was getting chicks. I accepted because she spent a fair amount on unique breeds (Swedish flower hen, Bielefelder, etc.) Anyhow, long story short of course the Ameraucana has turned out to be a cockerel and he has to go.

So two questions: what variety would you speculate he is and is anyone interested in a free cockerel?! Thanks for your feedback!

Sorry I been gone so long peeps ! Art Gallery issues !
Alot of us in the Grays Harbor & Pacific County areas are trying to recruit as many artists as possible to form a new group, as Art Trails.
Art Trails is a studio & gallery tour of the area, posted once in your area per year, and we have advertising & commercials on TV paid for by our county's tourism dollars AND they also pay for the flyers....glossy booklets advertising us, and so on.
It is a win win.
Similar "clubs" in Lewis County have reported ALOT of increased $ and up to 500 people a day visiting galleries that seldom had even 50 visitors a day.
We are looking for 2-D, 3-D, carvers, sculptures, fabric artists, fiber artists, ceramics, glass, weavers, etc.
We want fine artists, serious artists that can attend meetings and participate in an open studio week end every year.
Ads would go out & people VERY interested in art would drive the "trail" and visit each studio.
Wanna be part of it ?
Send me a PM !

OK, I have saved hordes of funnies, so here comes some:

A 90-year-old man goes to confession and says, "Father, I am 90 years old, my wife died only a month ago and I have married a 22-year-old girl." The priest asks, "My son, are you a good Catholic?" The man says, "Me? No, I'm Jewish." The priest asks, "Then why are you telling me?" The man replies, "I'm telling everybody!"

A man walks into a pet store and sees three parrots in a cage. He asks the store clerk the price of the parrots. "The one on the left is $2000" says the clerk. "$2000 is a lot of money for a parrot," says the man. "Yes," says the clerk, "But that parrot knows how to use a computer." "Amazing!" says the man, "How much are the other two?" "The one in the middle is $4000," says the clerk. "$4000?" says the man, "What makes him so expensive?" "Well sir," says the clerk, "That parrot speaks five languages." "Incredible!" says the man, "How much for the last one?" "That parrot costs $8000," says the clerk. "$8000? Wow! What can he do?" asks the man. "Well," says the clerk. "Honestly, I've never seen him do anything at all ... but the other two call him Boss."

Stop me if ya heard this one, really...

This guy's heirloom watch breaks, so he looks throughout the city for a watchmaker's shop. Finally, he sees a storefront with all sorts of old watches in the window, so he goes inside and starts telling the old fellow behind the counter about his watch. The old guy interrupts him. "I'm not a watchmaker," he says, "I'm a mohel." The customer's incredulous. "If you're a mohel, why do you have all those watches in the storefront window?" he asks. The mohel shrugs, "What would you prefer I had in my window?"

One day during practice, the percussion section was particularly rowdy. Seeing this, the conductor spoke up. "Gentlemen! When a musician can't play an instrument, they give him two sticks and make him a percussionist!" Then, in a low whisper, one of the drummers murmured "...and when you can't do that, they take one stick away, and make you stand out front!"

Finally a funny one.........

A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Skeptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'"

There was a papa mole, a momma mole, and a baby mole. They lived in a hole out in the country near a farmhouse. Papa mole poked his head out of the hole and said, "Mmmm, I smell sausage!" Momma mole poked her head outside the hole and said, "Mmmm, I smell pancakes!" Baby mole tried to stick his head outside but couldn't because of the two bigger moles. Baby mole said, "The only thing I smell is molasses."


Late one night a burglar broke into a house and while he was sneaking around he heard a voice say, "Jesús is watching you." He looked around and saw nothing. He kept on creeping and again heard, "Jesús is watching you." In a dark corner, he saw a cage with a parrot inside. The burglar asked the parrot, "Was it you who said Jesús is watching me" The parrot replied, "Yes." Relieved, the burglar asked, "What is your name?" The parrot said, "Clarence." The burglar said, "That's a stupid name for a parrot. What idiot named you Clarence?" The parrot answered, "The same idiot that named the rottweiler Jesús."

Two bats are hanging upside down on a branch. One asks the other, "Do you recall your worst day last year?" The other responds, "Yes, the day I had diarrhea!"

THREE TREES AND A WOODPECKER
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.

The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"

The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch, It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into."

Now wipe that smile off your face.


guess I better quit for now................................LOL for I get in trouble !

Hi Washingtonians! I'm trying to figure out if I can do deep litter here on the rainy west side of Washington. My run is half covered, deep gravel flooring. Drainage is good, concerned about deep litter getting too wet, slimy, and stinky. And if I do decide to try DL, what kind of chicken proof barrier would prevent the gravel from mixing in with the DL but still allow for great drainage?

Deep litter only works if it is dry and usually warm enough to keep good bacteria working. That and not too many birds, in a big area.
And welcome to the thread !
