Hi All!

We're on the NE side as well -- just a hop, skip and a jump from Post Falls.

[Zgoatlady]

We have a lot of Wind too

we dont get wind that much.

Im heading out to do coop chores like clean it and than clean all the feeders and look for the girls hiding spot.

I think Im going to take the eggs away from my hen tonight so if any chicks hatch they wont get to cold plus if I let her keep them than I have to build a new place for her and the chicks so nothing happens to them. I hate to do it to her...

I'm looking to get a few chicks (pullets) next month and thought I'd post here to see if anyone fairly close will have some before hitting a feed store in Monroe. I'll likely get 6 chicks - 3 to add to my little flock and 3 to initially raise for a friend. I'm thinking Australorp, and Sussex or Plymouth Rock or Red Star or maybe Wyandotte. My friend likes her Leghorns too. We just need some good egg layers and for me something easy to handle (I have a 4 yr old who loves the chickens; her current favorite is a red star we have that is a nice medium size), hopefully not huge (but not bantam) and have some egg laying longevity as we're not good at "turnover after 2 or 3 years." They need to be sexed as we have no use for a rooster. I'm in Duvall (NE of Seattle by about 20 miles), and will likely go watch a little at the chicken show in Monroe next month if someone had something there. We're not interested in showing, but I think my daughter will enjoy seeing all the chickens.

Also, a week or two ago I'd posted about a sick BR pullet I had and thought I'd let you know how that turned out. The pullet improved for a week, then took a turn for the worse again. The lady that I bought her from last month was nice enough to offer to take her back in trade for an extra EE pullet she had so that's the route we went. My other chickens remained very healthy, and the new girl seems quite healthy and is laying very well too.

Thank,
Amy

So far the majority of folks want a green shirt. (maybe a medium to dark green?)

A bit of bling bling for the ladies. (but not over the top)

What do you think of putting our user names on the backs?

Everyone likes the " BYC Peeps" idea and I personally (along with maybe others) also want some kind of " Quackers".

Not all of us are chicken-a-holics!!!

I have my girls working on some design ideas. I will put them on here ASAP to vote on which 1 we like.

Any other ideas?????
