Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[MenagerieWA]

The kids have been taking more cat than chicken pics--this is all I could find of the girls! The RI red was lost to a hawk last weekend. The golden sex-linked stopped laying and her comb grew out. She's two years old. Any ideas?

you kitty is a tiny version of Rocky he is mine... do you want green eggs ? blue eggs? or brown

 

[MenagerieWA]

Egg color doesn't matter. There are various shades of brown and a blue egg layer among the flock. I do like being able to look out and quickly count the birds, so we are looking at different colors we haven't owned. Locally buff Orpington, white Plymouth, and Silver Laced Wyandottes are available.

The same parent company owned both Tractor Supply and Dels. Corporate made the decision to start closing the smaller Dels chain stores and put it the bigger branded Tractor Supply.

They are more expensive than pretty much anywhere else. The customer service has been either non-existant or horrible when we've actually stopped at the one in Puyallup because we couldnt find something anywhere else.

I shop Coastal Farm over in Auburn since they are the only ones that carry Egg Producer. That and hubby works 5 minutes away now. Some things I get down at Graham Hay Market.

I heard that Graham Hay Market is excellent. I heard they had some great feed options.

I'm in SW WA, just north of Portland. Currently have 5 chickens and looking to add two more. Golden and black sex-linked, partridge rock, specked sussex, and an easter egger.

I've got a few 6 month old Easter Egger pullets still available and new chicks hatching in the incubator right now. Bred in some Barred Rock a few years ago to boost the laying rate and getting some really interesting colorations now.
