Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I'm still feeling a little under the weather myself from the cold I've had. Still debating whether I should do some work on the new run or take the scenic drive to the feed store.

Did laundry a couple days ago.

I vote for the scenic drive.

I really like driving the Jackson HWY / Tucker Road route to Onalaska when I'm not in a hurry. Great views of St. Helens and Rainier on clear days and it's peaceful driving through the country. Plus it's the shortest route for me by 0.3 miles. LOL

That is the route from here too. It would be out of the way to go to the freeway, or even take Jackson Hwy to the 12. Nice drive.

We LOVE our friends in Washington State and we know y'all love to chat! The original Washingtonians thread has over 80,000 replies which is AMAZING!

It's great to see peeps who love raising backyard chickens come together, but all that discussion in a 5 year old thread is bogging down the server when we do updates. For this reason we're starting this new Washingtonians thread.

Rest assured that the entire original Washingtonians thread will remain closed from new replies, but completely intact. You'll be able to reference, search, and read it any time!

Please continue all of your great discussions here.

Thanks to all our Washington friends for being (chatty) members of our wonderful community!!!!

My best egg customer Vaughn bought James's Mule this morning.
We still need a room mate but not as desperately.

Well, I didn't make the drive to Onalaska. I went down to the Winlock hardware store to see if they'd order the feed I want. They already get Xcel feed, just not the type I want, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to get me some. If I can get it locally it'd save me $7 in gasoline.

I got the area where the new run's going all cleaned up so I can start putting the lumber together tomorrow. The new run will be around 6' x 12' in size and go up to the overhanging roof. I'll set up an elevated shelf in the run to put chick brooders on, and the floor will be the grow out area for the pullets/cockerels.

We went to Nacho's here in town first time out in a few months.

Went to the regular Costco last night after 6. Easier to get in and out at this time of year. Luckily much of the Costco stuff we want can be got at the Business Center and it doesn't get packed with holiday traffic
