Hello, I haven't been around for a while. Here in Walla Walla, a friend of mine is looking for some chicks. She is looking for standard size egg layers. Is there anybody out there around Eastern Washington that has any chicks available right now?

There's a place in Brewster named Just Fowling Around that has quite a few breeds. They aren't a fancy place by any stretch of the imagination but generally have a good selection. Have you checked with the local 4H groups? The extension office would have a contact name. There's also a poultry club that organizes shows in E. Wash. and show season is coming up so there's a good chance of finding chicks that way, too.

@Rod-T do you remember the guy that used to be here from time to time that's doing that? I think he's in or near Deer Park, too.

Found him.... his name is Mike and here on BYC he uses @flyingmonkeypoop

By the way.... is anyone from the group taking part in the Washington Feather Fanciers poultry show in November?

It's Nov. 16 at the Fairgrounds in Chehalis. Here's a list of shows: http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Washington.html

Wow that's great I'll have to get to know him.. usally everyone is so far away..
I've been trying to get a flock going of delawares. . I have 2 roosters 2 hens.. I'm single mating them in 2 diferent pens... the one pen getting plenty of eggs.. so have extra chicks from that pen.. the other pen has slowed down. Probably 3 a week.. and some of those eggs have not been usable. .. so looks like I'll have incubators going for awhile. Just to get some chicks from that pen .. what's in the incubator of black jerseys is all I'll have for this season though

Hello fellow Deer Parkian! I'm still around but the various threads here on BYC move so quick so I can't keep up. I'm a couple miles north of Deer Park and I work a few miles west of Deer Park so I am always around, lol.
We mainly do sumatras and legbars with some other breeds too.
If you want to chat, send me a message (that way I will actually see it). Are you on the Spokane chicken co-op group on Facebook?

OK what in the hay is going on with my birds 18 layers two days at 5
eggs only down from 16 or 12 ? I have changed how I feed I was going through 9 50lb bags
each month so instead of things they could kick out or poop in I made one shown on here

This is the one amazon sells for 99.99 mine were about 12 each

Are they mulching? Or they might just be upset because you change things. How many of those feeders do you have? Maybe not all the birds are getting to eat at the feeder.
