HiWell, we'll see how this goes but I would like to start a thread here for everyone in & around the Chattanooga, TN area.
I find it's nice to know others in the more immediate area for numerous reasons: staying up-to-date on issues in the area, getting to know area breeders, selling/buying, upcoming local events, sharing knowledge etc. etc. etc.
A little about me personally (well at least when it comes to chickens/poultry etc.):
I live in Ooltewah, but actually it's more like north Harrison area. I'm actually closer to Birchwood, off HWY.58, than I am in the hub of Ooltewah.
I bought my first chickens just last summer, June. We set out just wanting a few "cute" chickens for pets and then maybe a few hens to supply us eggs. Well, 6 months later at one point we had some 54 but we are currently down to 29 BUT my plans are come late Feb. to start either letting a broody hen hatch some of our eggs or use the incubator.
Hope to get some local members to join the thread, so pass it along.
Thanks
I am in Cleveland TN. and just now in the process of building our coop. Hope to have it finished next weekend. We hope to get 4 young Branhams from a coworker. Tried chickens a couple of years ago and something got in and got all but 1. This new coop is "critter proof"....hopefully.
