Hi All,
Newbie looking for people close to Walla Walla to visit with and learn from. I had chickens on the farm as a kid and always wanted to try quail and eggs. I know I like quail already but want to give eggs a shot. See some great pics and recipes on the net so cant hardly wait

Welcome to our great state thread here we have @mixedbreeds over your area

@Chickielady I make my own pesto now found it is so darn simple do you have sage or basil and can use most any nut
Basil pesto

3 to 4 table spoon of Olive oil

1 cup pine nuts or any other nut

1 cup dried basil or any other herb

3 fresh cloves or 2 tsp jarred

1 cup Parmesan cheese


use a soft nut use a food processor to grind to almost a butter combine herb, cloves and Parmesan with nuts freeze your combined items adding olive oil to the amount you need ie 1/4 cup to 2 or 3 tablespoons

These are the Barnabeilafeldervelder eggs..laid by a Beilefelder hen. They are HUGE eggs !
Barnabeilefeldervelder chicks !
In foreground is the Beilefelder Hen being bred to the Silver Barnevelder Cock. Should have some awesome layers out of this breeding. The Beilefelder Cocks were never interested in mating. I bought Beil eggs from all over the country & even had a cockerel shipped from California...none were into mating. Now I have friends asking for cockerels because they are having no luck with their Beil males either. Weird !!
The Barnevelder is more than happy to take care of this hen, and any others !

my 12 ml plastic did not last a year here on my greenhouse I have large slits that I have taped
