    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    I do use pine shavings snd the cheapest place I've found is TSC in lebanon. Have you checked you're local co-op though. Sometimes they have better prices. Ive looked at straw too but never used it. I dont think i helped you much. Sorry.

    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    Then i would look in cottontown, gallatin, hartsville, im not sure if white house allows chickens or not. These are primarily in sumner county. Portland is another area that allows chickens in the city limits as long as they are not consider a nuisance.

    The Middle Tennessee Thread

    There are both. I would stay away from HOAs and try to go the country route. Hendersonvile has biggish city parts, and rural horse farm parts. I would try looking around long hollow pike.

    Dutch Bantams??

    So @carikermoon did your son ever get any Dutch Banny's to show or did he pick something else? I was curious. :) I actually saw some Dutch Bantam hatching eggs on Ebay yesterday that are in Chicago. I was seriously thinking about them because I'm 100% Dutch, (so my parents say..)
