I am actually going to try really hard to not candle until lockdown, or until I just can't stand it anymore. One of my Oregon peeps said that over-candling is not good with Serama eggs, and I really want these babies to hatch, so I am going to try to stay hands-off...we'll see how THAT goes!

Did I miss something, why no puppy? Problems with importation?

What

I think they would FR just fine. They just wouldn't know where thier range stopped and would probably not come back to the coop. I would actually like to set some free. Of course something (breed wise) that is already out there. We do have one that comes around once in a while. It sets on the fence in the front yard and talks to me. Yes I am fluent in quail. I would also really like to turn some pheasant loose and have been told that there is a state hatchery near that will give ya eggs to hatch and set free. Anybody know about such a thing?
Well I really should be getting ready to do the funky chicken for Chickeylady. But since it's only 30* out and the shed lights don't come on well in the cold and I don't want to fire up the forge just to try to warm them up. I think I will just stay right here by the wood stove where it is nice and warm.

Well bob's might survive but the coturnix really can't since they have been domesticated for so long they have no clue how to survive.
You have to have special licence/permits to raise for release as the birds released can devastate the wild popukation if they carry any kind of illness.

Hello fellow PNW's

I am anxiously waiting for our local feed store to get chicks in next month but bummed because they are not getting any Cochins. My son has been watching youtube vids of chickens and got his heart set on Cochins. We can only have 3 hens (yes, yes chicken Math - but I would at least like to attempt to follow the ordinace... for now

). I was planning on 2 BO's and his Cochin.

Is anyone aware of any Cochin breeders in Western WA (preferably North of Seattle)?
