Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[pennyJo1960]

Quote: wouldn't that be a kicker see if it makes it through the night the
other three eggs in there are not showing much promise
there are one big blue a brown and one more green
both the earlier chicks came from green eggs
and Dad is f-1 green eggs are coming from Gena's
easter eggers

Hey Washingtonians! Haven't been around for a while since we had to rehome our flock due to the fires last year in Eastern Washington.

I have a request - I have a friend in the Stanwood area who is tending a small flock of chickens at her workplace. One of the hens appears to have a pretty bad case of bumblefoot, but being that I'm 6 hours away from her, I don't have any way to go lay hands on the bird and confirm. Is there anyone around that'd be willing to give us a hand? I think the bird needs to be seen by an experienced chicken tender (har har)!

I am too far away to help but may be able to walk them through
the process

I'm too far as well, but pictures would help

Three is probably it then. What day is it? Latest I ever had one hatch and survive was day 25. Normally none past day 23. That was with temps being too cool

I am not super experienced but I would be willing to go look at it. I am in Sedro Wooley so about 40 min away. You can PM me for my number and we can set up a time for her.

This is how weird the food thing is for me. I can't eat the french bread from Winco. Safeway french bread is just fine.

I really want a tuna fish sandwich. So since I was given some recipes for my machine, I bought some fresh flour and yeast. Tomorrow hopefully I can take care of that craving.
