That time won't suit well for us workers....
I'd be open maybe going every 2 or 3 months.

Yes that is kind of what I figured.. was just trying to spread the busy days since I know cloud city can be packed on weekends and they close at 6pm.
 
Went to the Evergreen Fair yesterday and wanted to take home several of the chickens I saw there. There was one in particular that really had me but she wouldn't fit in my fanny pack.

I do have a wish list for the next order of chicks though!

I also bought raffle tickets for the tractor WSU Extension is giving away because, well, I only have two tractors, one Chick n' Hutch and one stationary coop with attached run! I NEED another tractor! Right?!

Yeah, my husband laughed at me too!

And what kind of chicken was this?

Yeah, we all NEED more coop/run space!

It was a lovely Wyandotte (my favorite!) She was a beautiful gray color and just looked so sweet! I was "talking" to all the birds and several of them "talked" back to me. I swear one of them looked at me like she was thinking "You speak chicken?!"

How exciting! None of us are up this time. My son got his blue last month and my DH got his purple. Now if I could just get mine! Good luck to DH!
 
I'd be up for meeting in north Seattle. Im in the Maple Leaf neighborhood. Cloud City Coffee is close to me. Id be interested in seeing how many others are keeping chickens and other things in the city.

Here's my ark style coop. They usually get to come and go as they please most days. I now have brown leghorns. They looked like welsummers when I got them, thats what they were supposed to be, but they lay well, the eggs are white, but they lay well. Maybe next time Ill get marans or welsummers.

If my chickens see a large bird they completely disappear, like totally disappear. Disguise the coop, pick up their poop, grab the cats and are just gone. The silence is eerie. Usually under the deck. They must have xray vision and can see through the deck, because they don't come back out till the raptors are long gone. I have lots of shrubs as well.
It's no certainty that they will be safe, but places to hide are a good thing.

It would be a slim chance that your cat would be a danger to full grown LF. My hens run ferals,strays, and pet cats off their food. It is occasionally posted that a cat attacked, but rare that it was witnessed.

Thought I was going to have to eat my words.
Last night my RIR didn't go to bed at dark like usual. The only odd thing, in the yard, was 2 of the chairs on the deck were knocked over. The only predator I've ever seen in the afternoon/evening was Eagles flying over, so I was thinking one managed to grab one on the deck. I just have a yard so I searched by flashlight, every tree, bush, bldg and square inch of the yard, and then the neighbors as well. No sign of her. Went to bed with a heavy heart. The only glimmer of hope was that the remaining 3 were not freaked. I have a family of raccoons that terrorize my pond almost every night, so I was worried that even if an eagle hadn't got her that they would or the new little possum that comes to clean out the cat dishes. Although neither the raccoons or possum have ever shown any interest in the chickens.
Well she showed back up this morning gloating to the others that she did not have to wait for me to open the gate.
She likes to sit on eggs, but is not broody, so tonight I'll be spying to see if she trying to set up housekeeping elsewhere.

There was an interesting wyandotte that was disqualified because of color. It had cream feathers with brown lacing.
