Iron - You set me to laughing. I could almost hear your contented E ORish clucking from here. My DH is from Illinois and agrees totally with you. He's all up on the chicken house roof thats slowly coming together and looking content in the blistering heat. I weeded my squash and decided that was enough for the day. *wiggles her webbed feet* If you hear whining coming from the southwest once in a while on the breeze, that is probably me.

That is so cool you wield. I was thinking of taking a class at the community college and learning it, but unfortunately they just teach wielding in the afternoons/evenings when I work. Neighbor Larry who's retired wields too, but right now hes camped down at Seaquest Park camp hosting for the rest of the season... lol I miss him and his tool knowledge being right next door when I get stuck! Now I have to call and go get him for advice... which involves feeding him and listening to stories (which are great!). But I'm going to bribe him with my superior baking skills for lessons when he decides to stop playing park ranger for the year. He said he'd teach me, but it'd cost me a lot of pies!

Happy July 4th everyone! I hope you all have a peaceful relaxing day and take a few moments to reflect about what today actually means. I spent the day getting hay for the horses and now me and the chickies are outside (supervising the hubby - in the shade) work on the new chicken house! I can't wait to get at it with paint... that old wooden plywood looks terrible even though everyone assures me since the barn was 20+ years old when it fell is superior to the bright shiny stuff you buy today... and all it needs is a good coat of paint.

DHG If ya need any welding done let me know. I have several ways and can even go portable. I also do what some call art work like plasma cutting custom signs etc. and make large bells / wind chimes. Before I was taken out by injury I was building bomb disposal trailers to be used by police departments and the military. They are in use all over the USA and severla other countries.

Imp was right, Holy Moly there are a bunch of Washington folks on here. I grew up in Twisp and Winthrop, and somehow found myself living in Selah and working in Yakima. Never swear you aren't going to ever live someplace. LOL

Any one been to Flower World in Maltby lately? They have they now have fowl walking around. Guineas, ducks, geese, peafowl and of course chickens.

I wish I would of brought my camera. They have two of the biggest chickens I've ever seen and some blue chickens. I wish I knew what breed they are. They are both across the street in the animal area. Flower World didn't have any animals last time I went now they have over 100 chickens.

I am from Aberdeen WA, which is less than an hour from Olympia. And is about 25 miles from the ocean

This is our first year with chickens, we have (3) Gold sex liks and (1) Buff Orpington. We planned on having all sex links, but the Buff got mixed in some how at the feed store. We are expecting eggs sometime in August maybe September. We love this site, it has been very informational. We are refering BYC to everyone who is new to having chickens

Hey, can I cheat? I know this post was originally to find out who is from Washington... I'm in Oregon, but only physically. I was born in Ellensburg, lived in Penawawa, Spokane, Liberty Lake, Seattle, Kingston, Enumclaw, Bremerton, Omak, Grand Coulee, Suquamish, ... well you get the idea. My heart is in Washington.
I recently drove my 13 year old son to Everett to visit his 14 year old brother living with their father... my 11 year old and I went up the Space Needle and took in Pike Place Market... I've been back only a day and miss it already. I came back because the chickens needed their mama.
