Hi There!
I'm new here too! I'm from the Yakima Valley ( Outlook). I'm in the process of building a poultry business specializing in Buff Orpingtons, Delaware and Dominique's. Oh and Muscovy ducks! We are in the infancy stage, but, I do have a very nice flock of Opringtons and Barred rock girls that I love to pieces!! Anyway, I'm looking for people who own these breeds now and may have some insight on raising and or marketing them.
Thanks!

yes I was outside in the sun this afternoon

WITH the seven tweensters ... five/six weeks old and fully feathered as far as I can tell

their brooder got whiffy so the timing was great

DH set up the "screen room" for me, the old one that is getting bedraggled, and the chicks had a ball eating new grass, dandelions, and chasing ants --- the little black-and-white could-be-a-roo even found a worm, causing a racetrack of madly chasing chicks ...

I thought we had it made, for some reason they all piled back in the VariKennel when it started getting a bit chilly -- except, just as I closed the door, one decided to go UNDER the edge of the screen room, out under the big oak which is surrounded by Indian-plum and Oregon-grape ... and she didn't want to come back out ... led us a merry chase for a quarter of an hour until she decided she wanted to be with the flock again ... so I opened the VariKennel door just as she was approaching it and she popped right in

DH put together some new cardboard boxes for a brooder for them, he said the old ones were BEYOND salvage

tomorrow we start painting the coop, with luck by the weekend they will be in it

wish I had thought to tell DH to bring the camera
