    2 months and $1100 later we finally have our chicken coop built.

    2 months later, our chicken coop is done! Man, what a process. Early in the quarantine, we started to talk about getting chickens to fill our summer a bit, knowing we weren't going to be running around with friends and family. After lots of research and budgeting, we targeted a coop style by a...

    Only half of hens are laying?

    Good morning all, I have 4 rhode island reds, a little over 20 weeks old. I get 2 eggs a day, so that leads me to the assumption that only 2 are currently laying. Have the other ones just not caught up yet? It’s winter here in Washington if that could have an effect but there are still eggs so...

    Any Whidbey Island chicken keepers?

    Somewhat new to chickens, Just got my own bunch of rhodies. Can't wait to see them react to snow here in Washington.

    Fighting Rooster Town Laws

    Hey I'm in Washington State and I want to know how to make a case and fight for the rights for roosters to be in town. So many people want to keep their boys and dogs are more obnoxious than roosters and roosters are able to be kenneled and contained at night into early morning so I don't see...

    ISO Ducks in WA/OR

    I have a lonely Khaki Campbell drake who would really like some friends. Ordering chicks is the next step, but I thought I'd check around here to see if anyone nearby is looking to downsize?
