When the time comes, you will want to get the peeps from local farmers, the farm store in the spring, or poultry swap meet.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-39907640520390842682009-10-22T05:43:03.754-05:002009-10-22T05:43:03.754-05:00I would love to come to Oregon!

County Extension office has almost everything you need to know - how much square footage per chicken needed in the coop and pen - what to feed,how to keep them healthy. User groups abound on the internet. <br /><br />www.mypetchicken.com is a commercial hatchery. (I ordered the Sebrites from them.) They sell coop plans, too. They are a hatchery with a conscience. They do not debeak the pullets or any of the other barbaric practices most of the big hatcheries engage in for profit and convenience (to humans).Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-7633668121346270832009-10-21T20:30:19.853-05:002009-10-21T20:30:19.853-05:00I want to start some peeps next year.

I worried I might become Crazy Old Cat Lady, but never imagined my life would take this sudden and tragic turn into Chicken Madness. It just can't be helped.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461386564339879940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014005277153555622.post-90196126610560019202009-10-21T01:54:29.948-05:002009-10-21T01:54:29.948-05:00Oh my god!

It's nice to see the photo's,<br />especially of the paint-by-number Weird Sisters. (Charlotte, Emily and Ann?). Those outlined<br />feathers just look so cool. <br /><br />They are blessed to have such a caring guardian. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
