Hattiesburg here. New to the fun. Even though as a kid we had tons. Now i am introducing my kids to the fun! We've had our bitties for about 4 weeks now from a local feed and seed in OG. We also visited Hub City West just to meet some people and check out the wares. Boy do they get there early! 4am! and even earlier. Anyway, we have 4 RIR, 3 Bantams and 3 Barred Rock and one VERY spoiled pekin duck. I explained to my kids that just because they have names doesn't mean we won't eat them, especially roosters.....but....i am not sure i will win that battle this time. Just put them outside in the pin we've built and they are loving it! I am looking for any advice on predators. We have two dogs who seem to do well and protect the yard fine, but are inside at night. We've had hawks around but my pin is totally covered. So now I am rambling, but look forward to being part of the community. Oh, someone mentioned a FB page, did that get off the ground? i'd love to be a part of that too!
