Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I will message you as they hatch then!
That is aweful! So sad. I don't have a broody but I do have mixed breed fertile eggs if you need more. I also have an incubator, it's full right now but depending on when your broody's eggs are due you could slip her extra chicks.

I am sorry for the loss of peeps, I keep saying I want a Great Pyrenees to guard my flocks and outdoor cats. MY phone number is 253-470-2461 I am [email protected] you can call text or email when you have them. I only have hens and would really prefer if I could keep it that way.

I came home and was out in the coop at 6:30pm. They were locked in a tall chain link run but the coop door was open. I have always left the coop door open but the run closed and in the 3 years since we moved in this place I have never had a problem with predators unless they were out free ranging. I was shocked! It took me a second to dial my husband because I was so shocked as to what I was actually seeing. So sad, the hens that were killed were so friendly, I had finally got a super friendly crew that we're all named and super layers. Makes me sick!

I'm so sorry

Quote: I took your information down in case I need it. I am into it for almost 3 months now and Have 6 ducks. Most days I get 4 eggs and
a couple times I got 6 eggs that day. I should have only gotten 4 ducks. Now I have some to sell. Thank you very much for responding. Amazing, I like runners............

I came home from my family's house after the game tonight to 9 dead chickens and a Bobcat in my coop! My hubby borrowed a shot gun and took care of the Bobcat so it won't be back thankfully. Such a shame to have to kill it but it would have been back. One hen is still missing and I hope she will show up in the morning. All I am left with is Frankie the rooster, my old, old white hen(non layer), a broody hen and a Barred Rock. I cannot believe this happened! I will say, even though we live with quite a bit of wood surrounding us, in the last couple days we have had a lot of wildlife activity through our back pasture.

Does anyone have a broody hen that they would be willing to sell?
I have eggs under my hen that are developing and I originally was going to toss them and set some eggs I have coming from Chickielady, but now I want to keep mine going too and attempt to replace some of my lost girls so I need a second broody to hatch more eggs as I don't have an incubator or have a desire to raise chicks my self.

Looks like it's store bought eggs for us the rest of the year. :'(

So sorry! I can't imagine the sadness. I do have 3 Light Brahmas hatched 9/28 (3.5 mos old) for whom I need to find a new home. Still a few months from laying.

There is a duck page on here as well not sure if you know sounds like you're up and running and what kind of ducks do you have?

Thank you so much for the offer but I am not a fan of Brahmas and feathered feet.:/.

My dear 9 year old hen laid an egg for me. She has been such a fun chicken to have around. Although quite sassy to the other flock members. My missing hen didn't show up today.


I am determined to stay positive! I am starting to look forward to a new flock and slowly making plans for this year.

I know what you mean about the feet; have made a special dry area for them. I do love the pajama legs... Good girl, your niner!

I want to find some Houdan chicks from a WA breeder. Any ideas, suggestions? Possibly some Marans chicks as well.

I think the furry feet are cute. Here on the east side of the mountains we don't get nearly as much rain as the west side. Are the furry feet a problem? Do they require special care?

I don't believe they require special care, but mud makes them messy. If the mud froze it might be a problem. Mine have a dry house and covered run so hasn't been an issue. Others may have insight.
