Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

That's odd.  I've always gotten very good responses from her.  You might want to call rather than e-mailing.  Her name is Pam.

Ok thanks for the suggestion! I will do that.

Hello! I'm looking for someone local (i.e. Western Washington, south of Seattle) who is selling Blue Laced Red Wyandotte fertile eggs. I see many on the BST website but I don't want to have any shipped with this crazy East Coast weather. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!

Erland, Kummer Poultry, Enumclaw, Black Diamond area had Blue laced Red awhile back…..

There is a lady in Monroe, 4-H poultry mom, can find her info if You like…nice birds, Might be able to make connections with others at the coming Monroe poultry show in March????? ( Wa. Feather Fanciers )

I'll definitely check out Kummer Poultry! I was on his website a couple days ago and didn't see anything but I'll contact him directly. Thank you! Also, Monroe is a bit far from me but if that lady does have some and is willing to meet I'd be very interested. I'm about 1 1/2 to 2 hours from there. (I used to live in Snohomish so I'm very familiar with that drive from here)

ok.. I could only get one picture but I have two of these chickens. They are the only two like this that I have, the others that are the same age are Turkens so they look way different. This chicken is supposedly a pullet. It is almost 3 months old. It is an Andelusion/Cochin mix.
Both my chickens like this one spend most of their day staring at each other and sparing each other. Do you think that this chicken is a
male or female?

@3mo old My guess would be its a pullet but when you star crossing breeds it could be a toughy

I would check outhttps://www.backyardchickens.com/a/chicken-blog-ellas-chicken-flock she has a pic of a hen named "Gracie" looks pretty darn close to your bird.

Howdy folks! I'm fairly new here, but interested in muscovy ducks. Is anyone around who may want to offload a few somewhere around next month?

To anyone looking for breeding/showing quality stock that's local:

I just visited a guy in Kent, named Sean, a couple days ago and I was so impressed I told him I'd put out a good word for him. I can assure you he doesn't buy at auctions or seek out bargains or anything like that. He breeds his own birds that's he's purchased from well-known breeders across the country. His facility was the cleanest and most well organized I have ever been to. I went with the intent of purchasing several chicks but he asked what my breeding plan was and what my overall goals are for the chicks. After a long discussion he advised I wait until I really figure things out and then come back and get exactly what I want/need. It was pretty neat. His birds are beautiful as well. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants something more than a backyard flock of chickens; someone who's looking to buy local and get some superb blood lines/genetics. He doesn't have a Facebook page or a website, it's purely by word of mouth and while he can't keep chicks in the brooders - they sell so fast - I told him I'd spread the word. The ironic thing is...he had just sold off his Blue Laced Red Wyandotte breeding group and that's what I wanted!! Oh well.

His only advertising is on Craigslist so I was a bit skeptical but after visiting his facility I was blown away. His phone number ends in 6300 so if you search Craigslist for that you'll find him.

I realize this totally sounds like a paid advertisement, lol. I've only met the guy once but I'll definitely return when I'm ready.

Just an FYI!!

Glad to have you here. I dont "do" ducks myself but I am sure your bound to find some folks that are. Where abouts are you located? Might help find someone local if your location is included.
