I would love some blue laced Barnies! But she is really far from me in Skagit Co.

Well.... you never know who might be making a trip all or part way!
Contact her and discuss the idea. If you put the word out you'd be amazed what can happen. Just today we, as a group, we figured out how to get a young cockerel from Mason Co. to a new home in Marysville! Not that long ago a "chicken train" got a pullet from Oregon City to Centralia for me. And I hauled a big ole goose up I-5 from Oregon last year. Anything is possible on "The Underground Poultry Railroad".

Lol. Yes I just saw that "train" on the FB page today. Very nice of all of you to help out. If DH says it's okay to get a few more I'll pm her. Thanks!

Well I am in Longview I have 13 welsummers 14 barred rock. 10 golden sec links. And 20 buff orpingtons. Then I have my flock of bourbon red turkeys and a small flock of royal Palm turkeys. I'm a army veteran that now lives the lighter side of life. With my lovely wife 2 daughters and another 1 on the way. Along with a Australian Shepard for my all around farm dog. She does it all.

In woodland, just down the road

I have a flock of 9 with 1 Roo.

Whenever I isolate a bully, I typically do it for a few days. She has to sleep in the isolation pen too (just because I'm usually asleep when they get up). Then I'll let them all out together on a day that I watch them and intervene if necessary, I've had good success with that, but I have heard others who eventually had to rehome or cull the bird from their flock, hope that helps. Good luck!

I grabs 'em & tosses em in a different coop, and the occupants of that coop are usually pretty ticked about it !

Beautiful birds!

Thanks !

Dear Seattle,

THANKS !!

Anyone in the Olympia area have a couple of docile pullets they are looking for a home for, my mother is building a larger version of the garden coop and will soon be ready to start building a flock (she's getting my noisy faverolles/speckled sussex lady also) and wants some pets (she isn't worried so much about production).

What i would recommend, is Bielefelders, they have to be the most mellow breed I have ever seen in all my 40+ years of poultry !

We did a cock Delaware from N. OR to Central Cali, and we do so very often.

Is everyone in Washington State off on vacation right now ?
It is 105 on the cabin front porch, in the shade. That south-facing building gets the heat, that blows right up the driveway. HOT !!!
