Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[FirewifeJess]

I just joined this group.

I live in Carnation, WA

I raise Black Copper and Gray Marans, RIR and Black and White Silkies.

I am looking to expand my Marans. Are there any breeders locally?

Hi there! I can't help with your needs, not sure on breeders, but welcome! This thread moves FAST, so buckle up and enjoy

No, all the Pepsi is MINE

!!!!!!!! LOL I have a pepsi problem. Some people have several coffees through out the day, me I have any where from 4-6 liters of Pepsi a DAY. Like I told CR, if I don't have a Pepsi with me every one around me knows there is something wrong. Weather it means I am sick or broke it means something. It's pretty bad I know but oh well.

That is a LOT. I only drink up to 3 cans a day. It is my only caffeine. And other than chickens, my only addiction. Hahaha

So...we still can't figure out what to buy to weatherproof the darned nest boxes! We filled in the gaps on the sides, and put weather strip foam where the lid comes down, but where the lid attaches to the coop we have NOTHING to keep out rain. I looked for a bike tube and couldn't find one. Nothing flexible is long enough. Can anyone think of something I can nail to the coop over the first few inches of the nest box so rain doesn't run into the nests?

Roof flashing. Home Depot and Lowes has them. Then caulk along the top of that to direct the water away.

back! I don't know you but I've been around almost a year. I had to buy store eggs last week too, it sucked! At least I knew where they came from and that it was humane, but paying $4.29 for a dozen eggs was killer.

In case y'all did n't get the "drink ALL the pepsi" reference...here's a hilarious blog post about doing ALL the things...and why *I'll* never be a grownup.

I am in complete shock .

This is me as I was reading that. Why...Because that describes me and what I do exactly!

Paying for eggs when I have 8 plump happy spoiled rotten hens in their custom coop makes me a little upset....But they will make me happy soon-I hope! lol
