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!

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
