Holy cow the thread does move fast.  Good to know there's more poultry people down here.  I'm just getting back into chickens after a few years (mostly) away but have raised domestic poultry since '93.  Thanks for the compliment on the dog, that's my Irish Terrier Nigel doing surrogate avatar duty until my chickens get big enough to get an avatar worthy picture HAHA.

Hoping to make the PNPA show to hang out with chicken people again (it's only 5 minutes from the house after all) but major conflict with work might make it difficult.

Ooooo... Irish are on my short list of dream dogs for when my elderly very large dogs snore their last (they're asleep right now: 15 YO Chesepeake Cow Retriever and her 16 YO Aussie/Border Collie father).

So, what kind of chickens do you have?

. I didnt do them all only a handful, But its only day 5 so its all good.

[COLOR=0000CD]ChickAudie- Yep, ya'll got the first and true account. For the most part they got it right, other than we were going for a walk and not coming back from one. The only part that bothers me is that they did not put in there that the driver almost hit our youngest DS Maxx. Patience our youngest DD happened to pull him out of the way in time.[/COLOR]

Whaaa...?! That is despicable! I hope they find these people and you get to testify against them and get them charged with reckless endangerment!

Now you, you're brave, but then we knew that.

I've been biting my tongue ever since she told her story the first time. Her son, who should not have been there still, almost getting hit was the last straw.

She left her children in a dangerous situation while she went to defend her property. Children should be more important than property. I'm sure that was not her intention. I'm not saying she's a bad mother. I'm saying she made a bad choice.

Hey you guys, I just found wheaten Marans . . . I didn't even think wheaten anything would be of interest; why didn't anyone tell me how beautiful they are?!!! I think I must have a couple.
Is this called chicken math or what? I think I am out of control again.

If you need a cockerel, let me know! At least one of my little trio is a cockerel. I got them from Cowgirlgrace 2 weeks ago.

Oh hey there's a Washington thread on here. Battle Ground checking in, any other SW Wash folk on here?

Welcome - especially another Airedale lover!


Ok, got it wrong - the Irish do look a lot like the Airedale though (mine wasn't clipped in this pic).

don't think I want a roo; just a few girls for those wonderful chocolate eggs. I found a breeder in the midwest who will ship 5 -- kinda pricey but should be good quality and just might do that. Still thinking and trying to talk myself out of it.

Oh, hallelujah.
I opened the email I use for craigslist this morning, trying to steel myself for a quick round of "spot the least crazy respondant" and hooray, hooray, hallelujah and huzzah! right there four lines down was somebody I've known his whole life, since he was the baby in a family of younger 4Hers when I was a Junior Leader.

It's enough to make my day even though it has just once again started to pour down rain when I was finished with my morning chores.

X2... so cool!
