WADE CREEK HOUSE ANTIQUES opened in 2007. Located in an old 1940's home, we have expanded many times so there are many areas for you to browse. Located on an acre in Estacada, Oregon, your children can visit with our chickens (yes, we sell eggs) as you look around.

1st Annual Chicken Chat & Coop Tour a Success!

For those of you who missed out on the fun, Saturday, April 2nd was a day to be remembered.

Chicken enthusiasts and freinds of the feather came to hear two local & national poultry experts, Nona & Mary Shearer, share their "eggs"pertise on raising chickens. These two "chicks" really know their stuff! They filled our ears and minds with great information and funny stories & humorous visuals... 55 people attended the "Chicken Chat".

After at, 33 brave souls endured sun, rain, hail, wind and sleet to tour 8 local Estacada chicken coops and 3 surrounding feed stores. Drawings were held at each location with great prizes to be won.

Local feed stores donated feed and gift certificates; Hobby Farms donated chicken magazines & chicken books, Coastal Farm (Gresham) donated Flock Blocks, & Mary Lake-Thompson Ltd donated chicken floursack towels!

Chickens of all types are living in coops of all shapes & sizes. One of the most fun I've seen is this "Chick Condo", which resembles the owners home... so it should come as no surprise that the 4 future residents are 8 week old Cochin hens in various colors. Pretty hens for a pretty coop!  : )

We'll get pictures of all our participating coops up on the blog for your viewing pleasure!


Hangin' with my Peeps!

 THANK YOU...
... to Nona & Mary Shearer for sharing their time & knowlede with all of us!
... to the private coop owners for opening up their coops for all to see.
... to Barton Feed, Eagle Creek Feed, and Gerber Farm Supply for their support and prize donations.
Also, a big thank you goes out to The Artsmith - they donated the printing for our Tour Maps!!
