I put her in with my misfits...now it's her, a blue bantam Ameraucana hen, and a mille fleur d'Uccle hen. She won't leave the d'Uccle's side.

Awwww. Poor thing. I'm glad she has a friend. She's probably pretty traumatized.

Quote: Yeah, that's why I didn't quarantine her...I didn't want her to have to go from a box of dead birds, to being completely alone...wanted her to feel as "normal" as possible...can't risk losing her...

Here she is with the d'Uccle....

WOW! over 8500 pages in the Washingtonian forum, we rock this chicken thing (well, technically not me yet, I haven't received my backyard babies yet)! I was able to read the first few pages, and the last few pages, but there was a lot in the middle I didn't have time to catch-up on

I was very sad reading a few posts, but so grateful you were able to share. Newbies like me need all the info we can get, the good, the bad & the ugly

I am in the South Puget Sound's very own Tac Town. We just moved back home from Des Moines, IA. What a place! People were amazing, weather, not so much. We came back home to be with my family, we all just had to go through the worst thing imaginable. My brother, 32, committed suicide

May nobody ever have to go through that ever again.




My dog was my best friend when I was told the news 1,600 miles away. I didn't think dogs cried until then, he just leaned against my shoulder and bawled with me :0) such a sweetie-poo. My old boss had a golden-doodle that got preggers by the Australian Shepherd that jump the fence, he said "Ya want a dog?!"


^^^ Isn't he gorgeous! Anyway... I should have posted in Random Ramblings! We are a family who just adores living creatures, they are just so much more sincere than people. One day we will have that farm, but for now, we are stuck in a good sized lot in the city. WE! I keep talking about us and y'all just don't have any idea who "we" are! There are 7 of us total, Hubs & I with our 4 boys (yes, four of them) and our little Ellie, who turned a year last month, poor girl...all those boys! Our dog's name is Raider and we have a chinchilla names Scarface, she was the runt and had her ear clipped by a sibling, poor dear. So that's us in a funky nut shell!

Does anyone know where I can get plain half-dozen size egg cartons? I only need a few, and don't want to spend $30-something for egg cartons. I'm hoping to find something similar to this...

I want to make nice gifts for the neighbors for the holidays. With three laying birds, I'm going to pushing it to be able to fill half dozen cartons for each neighbor.

She's so pretty.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry!! What a horrible waste, and what a tragic thing for your family to go through!!

That may be the most beautiful dog I have ever seen!!

Welcome!

I'm so sorry about your brother. I'm glad you have family and pets to help you through.

Like you, I am on a city lot and dream of someday living on an acre or two. We live on a 10,000 sq. foot lot. We're a family of 5, three kids, three chickens, and two goldfish (the third became fertilizer for a magnolia tree we planted in it's memory... DS made a beautiful little origami box then we had a ceremony for the free feeder goldfish that had it's tail and fins eaten off by the others).

Well... I wanted to welcome you. Jump on in the conversation!

Thank you! I used to feel weird sharing it with people, but I think that there should be more "awareness" and less "taboo".

He was the most adorable puppy! I had to fight off the ladies I worked with lol!

Thanks so much! I feel very welcome here! I am just glad that other people are chicken crazy and it is not just me! The look on family members faces when you tell them you're getting chickens...priceless!
