Got a message from a lady who wants Rhode Island Whites there was a lady near the ocean that was trying to improve them. Lost contact with her. Any one have any in old Washington any more.?

Yea, I think your talking about Chickie Lady, but, I don't think she is working with them anymore, in fact she doesn't have them, don't quote me, but I would PM her, she's on her all the time, so she'll see it.

Well I actually didn't think about using it till just now. This LG is ancient and had a hole patched up, but it's holding heat and humidity great so I might as well use it. I just like the air circulating bators better!! Thanks anyway buddy!!

Hello! I am pretty new to BYC... and chickens in general! I must admit i have a problem collecting chickens... They are just so much fun and I am loving getting the eggs every morning! We are up in Ferndale, WA... I have 1 turken, 2 Americanas, 1 banty, 1 barred rock, 1 (not sure, kinda like a barred rock, but a little diff...) 1 Polish Crested rooster ~ Poppy, he is pretty crazy..., 5 black astrolops, and 10 buff orphintons, incluing 1 rooster. we are currently collecting our eggs to put in an incubator soon (probably try with abut 24 or so eggs...) then in a couple months i will be breeding out some of our hens (the buffs with the buffs, a couple friends have a barred rock rooster and an amercana rooster) so that we will be some pure chicks.

i am also getting a couple silkies at the end of the month... i just think they are the coolest things! I have yet to find the purpose of them, but oh well. i look forwardto getting to know someof you!

OK I think I got it....
heritage breeds = Have been here in the US for a really long time like pioneer times, they meet APA standards, are slow growing, can mate naturally and have a long life....
non heritage breeds = are those of which are new to the US.
Exhibition = means they are show quality. So they can be either Heritage or Non Heritage Breeds.

By God I think she's "gaut" it!!! LOL!!

hey glad your here! If you stick around you will learn a lot!! Oh, btw, just wanted to point out that it's" ameraucana"
didn't know if you knew that! I kinda wish it were spelled the other way tho!! It would be kinda patriotic!!! LOL!!! and yea, 1 post IS pretty new!!! That's awesome!! Sounds like you have quite a collection!! I personally think that chickens, ( and goats) are like potato chips!!
Ya can't have just one!!

And hey just in case you didn't know, and want to come by, the WFF (washington feather fanciers) is have a show in Monroe, WA
on March 17th!! Lots of us will be there and if you come by you can say hi and hang with us for a while!!
Just a thought! Anyway, again welcome and look forward to meeting you!!

Thanks for the welcome!

My computer was acting up earlier and not typeing all the letters i was pushing!

I agree with the the goat/chicken... cant have just one.. we also have 2 goats, getting a few cows this weekend and pigs soon after!

So you have ducks too.. i am thinking of getting some of them as well...

I love the picture of the horse!!! That is great. I was not happy to see the snow on the ground, but so thankful for this sun! We were able to clean out the coop and start to get ready for the silkies and chicks! Maybe ducks too...
