Our current flock: 1 Barred Rock (Amelia), 1 Australorp (Mugsy), 1 Delaware (Delaware), 2 Silver Laced Wyandottes (O.C. and Bruiser).
Pullets (we hope!): 1 Spotted Sussex, 1 Welsummer, and 2 Americaunas
Appropriate building materials are a constant concern. We have a cob garden wall, retaining walls in the front and on the driveway made from sustainably harvested Juniper from Central Oregon, cedar front fence patch for where the cob wall had failure, a shed from almost all reclaimed materials, and plans to build a straw bale greenhouse.
