An added benefit for those of you who have Boy Scouts.

I didn't manage to find a new home for the hanging planter.




Or the new yard flower.




The leaves are on springs so they wave in the breeze!

What are you charging for these two? What is shipping cost to Stanwood?

Such a bummer! We just spent a crap ton of money on a picnic table, umbrella, 2 huge outdoor storage bins with hydraulic lid lifts, a 10 person tent for camping this summer, and new clothes, pillows, food. Car was packed to the brim. Hoping we won't owe the deductible...how's that work if someone else is entirely at fault?

You shouldn't have to pay anything.

Oregon is a No-Fault state too. I have no advice for ya Jess.

Sorry I didn't realize that.

I really don't understand the purpose of no-fault. All my experiences with it have been negative.

The purpose is so no one can turn around and sue the police for making an error in determining fault. I have State Farm and have not had any issues with claims. My son totaled his grandfathers car when he hit a truck. Grandfather's insurance paid to fix the truck and my State Farm paid for my FIL's car.

Sumatras don't have 5 toes, they have Extra spurs though. They only have black skin on their faces. And their bones aren't black either.
Sumatras aren't aggressive. They aren't bred for that, so I don't think it was a sumatra.


I've had Sumatras for 10 years and never had an aggressive one. It sound like it might have been a silkie mix without the silkie feathers.

The hatchery Sumatra roos I received were overly aggressive (to the point where they wore out their welcome, lol

)
The hens are absolute angels!!! I have 2 that hunt me down to lay an egg under my feet no matter where I am, like in my ford 250

while it was running!!
There were 5 originally, and all of them eventually fell prey to the hormonal doom attitude. Those, are hatchery roos now kids

good sumatras are totally a different story!
.. but I'm just gonna cry on your shoulder, as I so wish I'd kept one roo

*kicks self, again. lol*

Does anyone near Gig Harbor have some nice bright blue hatching eggs? I need one more egg to fill my incubator next week! If that one isn't a pullet, I could then be looking for 2-3 more eggs in late May. I don't really care what breed (EE, Araucana, or ameraucana), just want some nice bright eggs in my basket!

I'm way up here, but if you end up at the end of the earth for any reason

I do have a few nicely blue eggs stocked up for my next incubator try!

It's all good and I hope I didn't come across sharp I didn't intend to was just trying to inform.

Not at all! I was just pulled up short when I realized what I'd typed, lol. It did come across as not knowing that. BUT! My question still hangs in the air, do hens lay infertile eggs if they are bred by a fertile rooster? I'm so curious now!

Hi Guys;
Who on this thread has or knows of someone in Washington who has 100% English Chocolate Bantam Orps? Looking for a quad of juvies. Thank you....

I will, but given the girls are not yet at POL, it's counting the chickens before they hatch, lol.

Well, I can help you a little bit with the last one! The peninsula is great for chantrelles in the fall. The cascades are better for morels. Sadly I've never found King Boletus (boletus edulis) but have seen many that others have found. If anyone else is really interested in mushrooming and lives near Seattle, I'd highly recommend joining Puget Sound Mycological Society. They have classes and monthly day trips with a qualified mycologist on hand. When I belonged I really enjoyed it. Now would be the perfect time to join for the spring forays.

Chantrelles a-plenty in Olympia! Every fall go to the mossy, leafy damp places and there they are, yummy and free.

On the silkie question. It could have been a smooth sizzle silkie. You need the smooth to breed with the sizzle. The feathers look normal but do not have the barbs. Here are a few of my 2 mo old sizzle smooth silkies. Not great pics with phone.

I just wanted to say that the first, black bird is downright stunning. And I don't like Silkies...

I worked for State Farm for 5 years, but it was in Washington State. Here, the person responsible pays the deductible. I hope it works out smoothly. By the way, an important note: BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL. Don't let them ignore you. This should be wrapped up TO YOUR SATISFACTION quickly. If you don't agree with the Claims Adjuster, get your agent to help you. They DO want to help you, as you are their direct income. Not true for the Adjusters. Just sayin'.

Be very alert to any physical symptoms that may arise within a week. They are covered. Well, if you have average insurance, not just the basics.

Babies are pipping and zipping and popping out - a mix of bantams - so cute!
