okay scratch my previous post - I obviously can't read whats right in front of me.

I think I'd be interested in joining this order.
5 - Poultry Special
2 - all purpose
{not final - need to check budget and depending on when you close this order}

Just so everyone knows nothing is final. I am trying to see if I can get a order big enough to have it delivered to the north seattle-ish area. There might be a delivery charge or something I dunno yet. I'm just listing who would be interested and what would be ordered every couple months.

If things work out I'd like to order every 2-3 months or so.

Yes as far as I know the show is at the South West Washington fair grounds. It's between Centralia and Chehalis.

My dog carried an egg into the house through the doggie door the other day. I know the dog got into the coop when I had the door open for cleaning. She didnt break it. Funny.

Rainwolf. I'm interested in order depending on location of pick up and of course cost.
I hope they have enough profit margin considering how far away they are they'd have to bring up quite a lot in order to make the cost = the benefit.
You know if they have a box truck?

TaraDee. Check Craigslist regularly.
Chehalis is a LOOOOONNNG ways to go from where you are.
If you find a processing place please post it as down the road a bit I'll be starting to turn over my flock.

Russ.

Isn't it facinating how some thrive on trying to put others down for having a different out look on things.

You must be talking about Royce as your post was right after his.

Makes more sense if when we make comments about people on here we speak to them so their is no confusion who we speaking about.

I saw nothing in Royce's posts putting down anyone.
I did see someone stand up for what they believe in with out name calling nor any of the other tactics people use on forums.

Some of my best business contacts is with people I totally disagree with their thought process about life.
They disagree with mine. We've been this way for years. I just got done remodeling their house.
Third house I've done for them in 6 years and they know I don't agree with their lifestyle.

Yet, we can disagree with each other and still find common interest with each other and be civil.

Agree to disagree once both persons thoughts have been stated then move on.

Carrying grudges going forward benefits no one.​

As I said before, I work with Civil Engineers and as such I know that groundwater (GW) is only one source of where we get our water and it's actually a much smaller source than surface water (SW). SW provides fresh drinkable water through many different sources. There is desalinization, water reuse, water recycling, and numerous water treatment processes. And, while I'm not positive on this, I think if I remember correctly, it is cheaper to treat surface water than groundwater. So the aquifers are a mute point.

And if you think you are arguing with a 2-year old, think again. Two-year olds rarely base their "arguments" on logic and fact. And, as far as I'm concerned, this was not an argument but a discussion - or perhaps as another already stated a "debate" - but certainly not an argument in the negative sense. And most certainly not one that had to result in name calling.

Finally, as for my source of "Truth" being a "mythological novel", in 2nd Timothy 3:16 of that book there is a claim made that no one has yet been able to disprove. Moreover, at least I have a source that I consider to be the "authority". I have yet to see you - Chickielady - put forth any substantive evidence or authoritative source for your opinions. Opinions are just that. They may be your truth but that does not mean it is THE truth.

And that truth is the whole crux of the matter. When everything is boiled down to it's purest form it becomes a simple matter of what we choose to hold on to as our final authority. Either we can choose to believe that there is a Creator who knows a whole lot more than us and we are nothing more than a creation of His, made in His image, or we create a god in our image which then allows us to be god and as such we then get to decide what is right and wrong. Either we accept and submit to His omniscience and His wisdom or we rely on our own. Thus the 1st and 2nd Commandments. It has been that way since the beginning and it always will be. This applies to everything - including how we look at animals. How we view mankind in turn determines what "rights" mankind has and what "rights" chickens have.

Now, having said that, we should be able to vigorously debate such things without resorting to name calling. Name calling usually occurs when one cannot logically and reasonably put forth a substantive, evidenciary argument. And I might add that if you don't think calling the Bible a "mythological novel" is insulting, try doing that to the Koran with a Islamist. I don't believe I have said one word about your "science" and your right to believe in such. I certainly haven't used any adjectives (and purposely so) that I might personally use to define some of the science that is put forth. In the end, it all boils down to what you choose to believe.

I most certainly believe a certain way and I doubt there is anyone on here who has any doubts about where I come from. However, I have tried to use rationale and reasoning in my responses. To insinuate that anyone who does not believe or think as you do is brainless is not profitable to any discussion. And if one is going to insinuate that we ought to gas humans as we do cats and dogs (and I think they actually get lethal injection) because of over-population or that we ought to commit mass suicide as lemings running over a cliff, begs the question as to whether you really want to lead that charge?

If you want to be the first to run off the cliff or to be gased for your cause - for your belief - then I say Bully For You and while I'd disagree with your choice, I'd respect your steadfastness to your belief. But if you're expecting someone else to do that for you, then I'd question your belief system. As for me, I say humans will always come before any animal and I'd support the right for any human to live before any human dies in the name of an animal. Now I ask the question to the general audience, which one of us would you rather follow?

Human beings are preeminent to any animals as far as I'm concerned. If that makes me a two-year old, well so be it. I wonder how many would rather follow this two-year old's line of reasoning than the alternative?

God Bless,

No offence to iether you or Chickielady. I wouldn't want to follow iether of you. I feel you are both wonderful people, and I agree with BOTH of you on certain points. BUT, I am not and never will be a blind follower. My beliefs are complicated, and better left private, because of my families chosen path, it is just safer to keep to ourselves.

"To keep Silent; Knowledge is power, do not offer more private information than is required or asked for." This quote can go both directions, personal knowledge can give someone the power to make or break someone else. But it all depends on how said person uses that knowledge. The outcome could be positive, or gods forbid, a negative outcome. It all boils down to the choices that we as individuals make...

Sorry if this makes no sence to anyone but me! I half expect that.

Depends on where from Cal,

Just need a warm coop thats predator proof, most common predator is raccoon and opossum and hawks/eagles in the north Seattle area.
But depending on where you live you might have coyotes, bears, fishers, etc.

Don't forget Cougar and neighbor dogs... Oh and neighbors, and kids... lol sorry I have had issues with people going in my coop, letting the girls out, taking eggs.....

Put up No Trespassing signs, A motion activated web cam and prosecute or just shoot them 2 legged varmints with a paint gun of course. Having someone come on to my property would make me a unhappy farmer.
