I am new to BYC and this space. I would like to know where I can buy Javas here in Washington. Actually I would like to know where good breeders are as we are going to be building our chicken coop as soon as we can here on Mt. Rainier (I live right at the gates in Ashford and we will have snow for the next 10 days). I am interested in Javas, Oppingtons, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Stars, Sussex, Welsummer and Wyandotte. I won't be getting some of each but these breeds seem to have the qualities I am interested in. Since I am new to raising chickens I plan on starting with 12, is that a good choice? I can't have anything that is too loud because I have a neighbor that would be a big problem over noise!

Thanks,
Nancy

Welcome and please join in! We are a chatty group! Robin/Chickielady has Java's. I don't know if her's are old enough for breeding yet, but maybe you could send her a PM and ask where she got her stock from?​

Nope. Straight as an arrow. Sooo odd..... Maybe this site has something against Macs...

Soo... Hypothetically speaking and not naming any names... Say someone got a little Brinsea incubator, and say they found some interesting eggs to purchase to hatch in said incubator, but they were limited by city or county codes as to how many chickens they could keep - is there any harm in maybe keeping one or two that one might favor, and then either selling or giving away the rest? Just so that, hypothetically speaking of course, that they could try hatching and raising a few chicks just for the experience? Would that be ethical, fair and kosher to do in the chicken world?

Hypothetically speaking, someone, who shall not be named, only has four chickens, so she is allowed four more in any case. If she were to hatch some eggs, and were to keep no more than she would have been allowed under the old rules, I don't see an ethical problem since it was rather arbitrary to suddenly cut the number of chickens she could keep. As she's not Jewish, being kosher is irrelevant

, and as long as the neighbors don't complain, I don't see a legal problem either. Since her neighbors seem endlessly fascinated by her chickens, and interested in getting their own, I don't foresee any complaints as long as she doesn't allow them to become a nuisance.

Why not? As long as you are honest to who ever takes the extras. Plus I really dont think chicks count in the total number of chickens!!!

At least not until they have to go outside where they can be seen. lol

Especially if one were to allow only a legal number to be seen at any one time.

Yes, this is totally fine! You could even SELL the extra's on Craigslist!!!

Or eat them.

Yup, that is exactly the same quilt I saw in the magazine ad I posted, from like 5 years ago, evidently the woman is selling the pattern on Amazon now ?
