check my avatar, that's the roo I used to have --- also Google up the wild chickens on Kauai ....
(just flew in one day, probably the descendant of the chickens from the fighting-cock farm we used to have over the back fence)
think they resemble the Welsummers, but will bow to those with more experience;
this one was part American Game I think
Hi Kaneke!
yes that does look a lot like what I was thinking only more buff on top! Mahalo! Used to live on Oahu myself! (Navy) I'll google a few things and see what I can find!

WOW!! we made NPR???? It doesn't surprise me, I live 2 miles out of town, which is a total of 10 houses a church and a post office. In the summer you can here gun fire from my house I don't watch the news or listen to it on the radio anymore. It aggravates me and I can't do anything about it anyway! I live three houses off a main road down a private lane, so I know whos coming before they get here, I have two shot guns loaded and a few more to boot! I better know your coming before I see you pull up!
It's rediculous really! We have 5.5 very nice acres here and it's crap that town(Sunnyside) is so gang ridden! I grew up in the valley almost 30 years ago and graduated from Grandview, It was a great place to live then. It still is if you ignore all the crap! Oh my gosh! We bought a camper today so I'm with you on the camping! And your so right about the smores! I can hardly wait to get it ready! It's a slide in for our pick up which means I can take my horses too!
Do yo have to sell it!
Yeah, it's a sad thing- I spent a lot of time in the Yakima Valley when I was a kid, Mom's elder sister was married to an orchardist in Tieton, and she had an Aunt in Sunnyside and one in Yakima proper, and a bunch of cousins there (her Grandparents lived in Prosser; Mom was born there in July 1926, when her Mother came over from Yelm to can peaches! with her mother and sisters!). It was a pretty, pretty town in those days.

Not having any experience, I don't know what to say. If farming weren't hard enough with the vagaries of weather and all, the last thing people need is the well groomed neighbor's dogs mauling their animals. What happened about the dogs that mauled your animals?
They moved away. Can't say I miss them.
In other news, I need to go work on the new run, but have no interest at all in getting wet. Is this wrong of me?
Can't blame you, this weather sucks. But I fear that if you wait for sun, you'll never get the run finished

Wow! That's some cool history! I love to read about the history of Washington, ok well history any where! Do you have relatives here now?

At least you all are working on your run! I havnt been able to work on my coop in over a month! Between weather, my husbands court bs, my kid, my mother... Ect... I just cant get anything done outside, unless I get 15 minutes or so. I really need a second me.

You ought to train your chickens to be little builders and make them work on the coop

Yeah; I have my hired help coming tomorrow, though, so there's a chance I'll be able to get the wire up and move the packing crate/gather cinderblocks/get started on the roof then.
And of course, since I got stuff together to start potroast for dinner, the sun came out!
