I've gathered some chicken raising resources along the way.  I thought I would share them with you, since the first thing I hear from people when they find out I have chickens in the city is....'Where do you buy feed?'  Very easy and simple!

Resources:
There are a lot of great websites and books with information on raising chicks and caring for chickens...hey, even ‘harvesting’ chickens!  Look at the sidebar on my blog page to see some books I recommend!

Supplies and Chicks: 
I recommend using the ‘breed selection tool’ on MyPetChicken.com to get an idea of what type of breed fits your needs.

Here are a few places for supplies and to purchase chicks.  I recommend getting your chicks between February-April if you have a specific breed in mind.  Otherwise options become limited in May-June;

-Seattle Farm Supply. (Supply, Feed and Chicks)

-Seattle Farm Co-op. (Supply, Feed and Chicks)

-Bothell Feed Center (Supply, Feed and Chicks)

-Seattle Tilth has a great page of resources as well

You can always mail order chicks!  MyPetChicken.com is a great resource.

Classes on caring for chicks/chickens:
Rule #1, don’t get overwhelmed.  Raising chickens is very easy!  There are many classes in the area about raising chickens.  (Some are even FREE!)

-Seattle Tilth has a great chickens 101 class.  Minor fee but well worth it!

-Bothell Feed Center sometimes has classes.

-Seattle Free School sometimes has a chicken raising class.

-Sustainable NE Seattle sometimes has classes.

Great websites with general care guidance:

-Backyard Chickens

-Join the Yahoo group ‘Seattle Farm Coop’ so you have an immediate resource that is local.
