Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I agree! I just got a flock of 12 Goldstar 300 ducks and they "eat the world" as my son says. He calls them the Langoliers like the old Stephen King movie/book.

I love the idea of showing birds, but not sure where we would even start!

Got to get entries in for Monroe very soon. I forgot envelopes or I'd be getting mine out in the morning. This is my first time entering.

I have relapsing/remissing MS and don't drive. The fact that I can catch bus right in front of my house and still have chickens was a major selling point of moving 3000 miles to be here!So, unless I find some other chicken fanciers in or around Aberdeen and Hoquiam, I won't be able to make it to the fairs or shows easily, I am afraid. I just got back from fighting with city hall about permits for flood damage repairs, I still would like to fight them for a couple Cayuga ducks for slug control and mowing duties. Lol

The Hammies should work well this year and perhaps I can find some PendWhatevers (lol) to add later. I am just thrilled to have chickens again! I attacked bushes with a chainsaw past weekend, this weekend I am starting the coop if the weather holds!

I live in Aberdeen and go to the Chehalis one every year. You can ride with us if you want

All this talk of shows has piqued my interest. Never been to a poultry show before. I think it would be a blast to attend and maybe one day even participate in!

I'm very familiar with the world of show dogs so is it weird to ask about ages for showing birds? Like are there different age classes for cockerels v. Roosters in addition to breed divisions? Is there a show primer on this site somewhere?

Ok question on guinea fowl. How much is the garden variety adult helmet heads worth?

I have one neighbor that doesn't like them. I thought it was funny... but her dog was chasing my guineas. The guineas turned on the Pomeranian and cornered it while making the alarm noise. They didn't attack it but the dog won't leave his lot now! I was crying I laughed so hard but I don't need a war with the neighbors. Since we aren't that fond of them we will eat them or sell them, depending on the price. We like the chickens and turkeys better.
