Is it the bothell feed center? Shoot I cant find there phone number in my files right now they get most of there birds from Privett in NM I believe.
They do get the silkies in and they go FAST! Last year a friend and I we ALWAYS on the phone with them waiting for the silkies to come in, they wouldnt hold any for anyone because you know people always ask then never show, finally they held onto some for us, they knew we were serious after WEEKS of calling and checking in lol
Anyway I will keep trying to dig it up.
I think its Bothell Feed Center, you could maybe do a search in the yellow pages? It is in monroe down the road from the evergreen state fair grounds

I personally didn't like the bothel feed store... they treated me like I didn't know anything thing and wouldn't let me buy chicks without their 5lb bag of starter and 5lb bag of scratch... even though I had a whole 100lbs of medicated starter at home and no chicks should be eating half scratch. I came back with 4 silkies... 3 were boys, went back a second time, got 2, both both boys. I almost felt like I was treated differently because I wasn't a stereotypical middle age Caucasian woman from the city, that they seemed to bounce on to help while I was in the store.

However, it's not the co op in monroe. There is a "Monroe co-op" and Monroe Farm and Feed that I am aware of. My all time favorite is Monroe Farm and feed. They are still family owned and they get their birds from walla walla as I was told last year. They are VERY helpful AND knowledgeable from my experience, which is about half a dozen trips out that way.

Hey does anyone know if there is a place in WA that sells VetRx? I need some soon and dont have time to get it shipped right now. I wanted it to make a comb look nice and pretty, but I dont think it will make it to me by Saturday? I did order some tonight so I hope it does! But I should look locally for some too! Thanks!!

Normally Jim LeGendre sells it, he is the one that always has bantam hamburgs on eggbid. Also, if you need the comb to look good quick, use baby oil, its cheap and when you dont have vet Rx at hand, it works. When we were at a show last year we forgot it so ran to the local store and picked some up, put it on the comb, face, wattles, and legs and it works the same, it doesnt have the good smell like vet rx, but it works.

Wow 19 pages of us crazy North westerners. Thought I'd check back in and see how everyones winter has gone. We still have 2 ft of snow on the ground, and were blessed yet again last night with a fresh dusting of the fluffy stuff to cover the mud in those spots where the snow has melted. Good news is, the seeds are sprouting in their hot houses, critters are starting to lamb and kid and I put the first hatch in the bator last week !!

Hey JJ, I am glad I am in the "lowlands" of Deer Park, LOL. We dont have that much snow luckly, but we have a huge lake at the end of the drive way. We have been hatching for about a month now, the chicks are so adorable. We wond have kids until late June. We have been getting many eggs from the chickens, we have broodies popping up everywhere, some are just evil and mean.

 

[chicknut]

Here North of Seattle all we are getting is rain which = Mud, and it is every where.....

I have no broddies heck even my best broodies who try to hatch golf balls are saying no flippin way

I am so sick of muddy eggs in the nest boxs, and squishy grass and wet dogs.......

But today i think i saw the sun for about 10 mins so their is hope

Chicknut.....where's my boots
