Does anyone have lavender Ameraucanas, lavender Orps, Blue Wheaten Marans or Blue Marans? I would be interested in eggs or days old chicks. Thinking and planning for Spring ..........

Planning and thinking...that's what I'm up to, but I've placed a self-imposed hold on any chick, chicken, or egg acquisition until I build 3 runs for my movable coops. I also have a ton of work to do to get ready for the start of "bee season". I have alot of building of boxes & frames and...

Quote: Hey, oldchickenlady, we're practically neighbors. I'm 5 minutes from Leipers. yep, thinking about what kind of eggs I want to get. I told the Dh tonight my next hatch was scheduled for March. Hey Bikechick! Cool to know another chicken freak is so close! I live off of Pinewood...

Good idea! Great to meet so many "chicken people" today. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to more of you. Good to know I have a support group I'm interested in swapping eggs when we meet in March. I should have Olive Egger and Blue & Black Ameracauna eggs to offer. Keep in touch...

Bikechick- isn't it funny? The chicks in the house are sweet and adorable and then all of a sudden they HAVE to go outside. There is a definite turning point where I just can't stand it anymore. Yes! There is indeed a point of saturation. I do love having them in the house to watch and show...

Morning TN folks! I'm enjoying the snow. The kids are really enjoying the snow, but the chooks are not very excited. I arrived back in town from the beach just in time for the "event". Unfortunately, the snow situation caused me to have to move some chickens around instead of making a transition...

Would someone please give me an addy (or intersections) to the restaurant so I can type it into the GPS? Thanx

Quote: very interesting. I plan to breed a clean legged BCM to my EE's in hopes of some good OE's. Ha! We're so funny w/ all our acronyms. One needs a course to understand/communicate.

Good morning TN BYC'rs. Whew, it was cold yesterday morning. I still can't believe I rode my bicycle, but glad I did. I'm also so happy with my water heaters. I only had one frozen water-the ducks. But, that's because I have not made one for them yet. Here is the first one I made. The others...

Debbi-so sorry for your hatching probs. Ugh I do believe NONE of the shipped eggs I set will hatch. Bad luck of the draw? The two stuck zippers are in a brooder by themselves and I know one will have to be culled because of a deformed foot and the other if it doesn't get better balance. See, I...

Quote: I'm so sorry Holly. That is terrible. 2010 has been a bad pred year for us. My poor chickens no longer have the freedom to free range. Now they are confined to movable pens with adjoining runs. I live under a raptor freeway. Ugh. Brave, brave hawk to go down into your run and almost...
