[Chubby Chicken]

I raised them and will start again this weekend. If you get a container with a lid, cut out an air hole in the top for ventilation, they won't get out. They can't climb up the sides of the plastic containers. I will try to take pics of my containers and post them.

Thank you.

Ive never heard that chickens are lactose intolerant?

A lot of people give them yogurt.
I heard it straight from the mouth of a poultry scientist.

Oh no. You've got to be kidding. My birds have hardly made any noise during their first 18 weeks and I seem to finally have gotten the approval of the neighbors. All of the neighbors in the cul-de-sac have commented how they never hear my birds.

Are there any quiet breeds? What about slikies?

I just put them back in chicken prison. At least the run is the farthest point away from any of the neighbors. But... that chickie is still going off in panic mode. I know I'm going to hear about this from some very unhappy people. I think my next building project might be a sound proof room.

When the broodies come out, my son owen always says: The chickens are barking.

Is there ANYwhere that processes chickens local to pierce county?

Both my options fell through and I need to get these suckers outta here and Id rather not do it myself.

I heard there is a guy in south prarie but noone can give me a name or a number!

I will ask around for you. I live three miles from SP.

Quote: Albino raccoon is my guess
I found it looking for a photo of an opossum/cat cross for fb. I thought it was photoshopped. But I just googled albino raccoon, and voila it is an albino raccoon.

I know it's probably too far to go but Salmon Creek meats in the Mossyrock area does Chickens

I dont reallly want to go THAT far. . . but it doesnt matter, they arent taking anymore birds.

Quote: Yes I walked around calling it with the cordless from the house. I could only remember 2 # that were in the phone so had one of them call me and send text. No good I am getting ready to go out this am and look. I also lost it a couple weeks ago. Right here in the yard but again AT NIGHT. The problem that time was that my ring tone for home.....(are ya ready) is recordings of my own roosters. Well when I called the phone it would only ring twice and then the roosters would start crowing. And YES mikey I agree. For the careless/stupid they need to put ELT DFers on cell phones

CR, if you find your phone, get a different case and CHANGE your ring tone!

You think someone would learn from the first time this happened.

Hope you find it!
