    P.S. My daughter just got hired as a nurse at Mountain Home VA and is moving back to East Tennessee with her family in December. So I have to have some chickens for my granddaughter who is in the 1st grade. She has been a chicken wrangler since she has been able to walk and loves them. One...

    Hello, everybody. I was on this site in the past, but because of family situations and work I had to drop off the map for a while. My wife and I live between Jonesborough and Johnson City on 11 1/2 acres, out in Washington County. I have an 8X8 coop with a 28 foot run. All was fine and...

    Hey y'all. Sorry I've been gone but it's deer season. But during my absence I've attempted to do good by poultry. The other morning I had just walked to the house from a morning hunt on the property, had taken my boots and jacket off, unloaded my rifle and had set down to enjoy a cup of...

    I got a reply today from someone at Washington Farmers Coop, when I got up and checked my email. Quote: I wrote back and told them I would bring the bad sack back in tomorrow when I get up off of night shift. Hopefully they will clean their act up and it will benefit every one in the...

    I was a Southern States Coop store manager in Mebane NC for 5 years from 86 to 91. If one of our feed mills was cranking out crap like I've seen in this sack, I would have drove to Durham and throttled the Feed Mill manager for the lack of any quality control. You are only as good as the...

    I am Peed-Oed at Tennessee Farmer Coop over feed quaility. I thought I would give them a shot at layer pellets. The 1st sack that I fed out was good and they laid well on it. The 2nd sack is 1/3 fines. It doesn't do well in my 10 pound feeder and the hens don't like fines. Fines=dust...

    Sorry I haven't been on here all week. Joy and I flew out to Southern Calif, to see the grand baby. My son is stationed at Camp Pendleton. Hopefully I can catch up on all I missed while I was gone. It is good to see green grass and trees again with out the aid of irrigation.

    We used it inside a deer camp "cabin" ( my wife Joy called it a shack) and it worked well for us. The only thing that I may watch out for is direct strong winds. In that case I would cover the blue board with some type of plywood or more a sturdy material.
