Anyone in WV???

Haven't been on here in a very long time but was wondering if there are any other WV folks here. I live between Huntington and Charleston WV. Close to the KY< OH area.

Looking for other chicken folks to chat with. I am now down to 5 chickens. Thanks to various varmits on our farm--- that we know of- 3 bobcats which were eliminated last summer. (one was in the chicken house when found) scared the husband pretty bad. lots of raccoons, possums, and 1 coyote (that was also eliminated) came out about 20 yards from the front door. Boy they are scary looking animals. I had an original flock of 42 and had kept adding on. Even building another coop and run just for silkies. (had about 26 silkies that disappeared due to predators, they only left a few feathers. Still not sure how or what got them.

Now since we are down to 5 my husband has asked that I not get anymore until I finish Nursing school in 2008. So I guess the spring of 2009 I will add to my 5 little hens.

Look forward to getting to chat with the folks on this board. I have learned alot on here. And read some great info and stories.

I even got eggs last years from KY silkies that hatched out some of the most beautiful birds. I think I got 18 chicks out of 22 eggs.
That was thanks to this board.

I realize this is an old thread just letting you know I will be moving to East Dailey WV this year. Near Elkins I will be starting up my little farm and wanted to say Hi!

Scott Depot here! We have a mixed flock of RIR, Orpington, Ameraucana, Dominique, Sussex, Wyandotte, Isa Brown, Game as well as Ducks - Pekin, Muskovey and 1 lone Swedish (had two but a coyote moved in and got it). We also have horses, pigs, sheep, goats and dogs LOL its a zoo around here. Love my chickens, tho! This is my first year with chickens. Ive always wanted chickens! BF and I drove an hour to pick up our mixed flock and I love them. We've been getting a handful of eggs from day one and more increasing every day. 19 chicks coming out of the brooder to introduce into the flock and I'll have a crazy amount of chickens

My next move is likely to West Virginia. Its the halfway point between the 2 places I have lived almost my entire life. Sick of North Carolina Summers and Western NY Winters. Everyone I met from West Virginia when I was in the Navy were really cool guys.

Not even a few bantams? Bummer!
By the way, the other posts you quoted were from 2007! Lol. This is a pretty old thread, so the people have changed a little.

When you move, are you still planning to stay in WV nearby? We moved up here from Kanawha county about 6 years ago.

We are West Virginians for life ... no interest in living anywhere else but “Almost Heaven”

No.. but that sounds like an awesome gig!

There is a farm nearby the you can join and get fresh straight from the cow milk and eggs also purchase meat from. I had thought about joining but decided I really just wanted eggs and chickens for myself. We don’t drink milk so here I am lol
