What kind of birds? Do you have a pic?

Hi All, It has been a long time since I have been on the site. I need to see find a home for my rooster. I bought him 2 years ago at the Mennonite village in Benton. He was about 5 months old then I believe. I had him and a hen and yesterday. Before the snow hit a hawk snatched her we think. She...

It's just strange that all of a sudden it happens. The pair has hatched at least 10-15 chicks and all have been hens (shown in the background with the rooster). This may be a rooster. We are just perplexed. There was another that looked exactly like this one but it died suddenly about 2 weeks ago.

I have several Partridge Cochins that I got as chicks from a Menonite Village a couple of years ago and have had a lot of hatches but all of a sudden I have this 6 month old that has a really different appearance. Any ideas? The one with the white on its wings is the one in question. The other...

Welcome. I live in Ringgold. What kind of chickens do you have?

I visited Poultry Hollow Farms a couple of years ago and vowed to not go back. I mean I grew up in the country and love getting dirty but the place was awful. Got a few chicks and were happy with them but everything we looked at was so nasty. The brooders had not been cleaned in a while. My wife...

Besides Craig's List, Tractor Supply should have some by now but they are not sexed. The chicks are locally raised but you will need to know how to sex them. Craig's list normally has a lot but you have to be careful. A lot of mixed stuff and some of the conditions i have seen are not so great.

That Polish has escaped from someone's care. It is in good shape to be roaming around. I would check with some neighbors. They don't stray far from home. They like to nest in the same place every night.

I thought that's where Easter Bunnies came from. LOL. I am not sure. I have heard that question a few times at sales and am curious myself. I have a hen and will get a rooster in the spring and would like to know myself.

I have had Silkies since I started raising chickens and have never mixed them with any other breeds. Really it was by choice. I know they are a small breed and out of all the breeds I have had they are the most loving and have a tremendous amount of character. More like pets. I have never mixed...

I agree StacyTN. It will be difficult to make a go of it at TC OOltewah. The layout isn't vendor friendly. The FT O store is perfect. I want to help them get it going but we are going to have to give them some kind of help with the promotion and layout. I know fried chicken was a possibility in...

Looking for some quail around the Chattanooga area. Any ideas. I would really like to have some Button Quail but also looking for the common breeds too. Would like to have a breed pair.
