They are incredibly precious! Not at all like the ones I had as a kid!!!

Veges: Just a thought about seeds - if you buy heirloom seeds rather than hybrid you can save the seeds and use them the following year and get the same plant. If you try that with hybrid you don't know what you might get! Cherokee Purple tomatoes are especially flavorful, juicy and "bug"...

Have you tried the Seed Savers Catalog or the Sow True Seeds Catalog from Asheville, NC? Neat stuff.

Bario - pretty new to this "BYC thing" but I'm in East TN - Friendsville (near Knoxville). Did I read somewhere that you were from Asheville? (AHS class of '79 here - telling my age!) I tried scrolling through and reading but looks like I've got a lot more to get through. In the meantime, do...

Thanks all! As noted, it is well situated for the sun in summer and winter - which it definitely is here at 20 degrees this morning!

Garden cleaning-up time so my ladies got asparagus ferns, bolted lettuce, strawberry leaves that had stragled out of their "spot," and radish tops. Plus some ugly grubs - one for each and they still fought over them! Beautiful day here in E. TN - sunny, breezy, 60's.

Thanks for the info! It is reassuring to know they aren't ill! The ladies are getting used to their new home and coming in and out of the hen house several times a day now. They are indeed, "napping" but all seems well! Yeah! It is hot here too - the 68th day in a row that temps have been...

Thanks so much for the reassurance! My "chicken knowledge" is only from books (so far). Looking forward to this new adventure.

Newbie chicken lover here - be gentle with me! We just got 4 red sex-link pullets - ~ 20 wees. They have a 6x6 house w/nesting boxes, roost, food, water and large fenced run. First 2 days scared to death of the hen house - had to put them in and out. Today they came out for several hours...
