Does anyone have any laying hens they would be willing to give or sell? Or even a rooster? Poppydear has one lonely hen and is looking for a companion.

I am thinking about putting in an order for some chicks but won't be able to keep even 90%. I am trying to get egg laying breeds that aren't so popular in our area. Personally, I am interested in getting Black Australorps, Light Brahmas, Silver and/or Gold Laced Wyandottes. Many hatcheries will...

Thanks for organizing the swap this weekend Lisa! I did sell all the chickens I brought which was nice but I think I may need to start raising my prices a bit... Nice pictures, sorry I never stand still... Haha.

No worries. If I bring my boys with me, I probably won't stay as long as I did last time.

Lisa, do we know if someone will be bringing horses to this one for kids to ride?

I will be there with 4 Red Sex links, 2 black sex links and one Buff Orpington.

Quote: Anyone here use food grade DE? We've been buying our from Broome's Feed and Seed on Hwy 56 for $36 for 50#. I do not but it is great to know where to find some in town. Do you find that it cuts down on flies?

Quote: McDuffie Feed & Seed is a good place. So is Grovetown Farm & Garden. When I worked with the Natural Resources folks at Ft. Gordon we ordered out seeds and fertilizer between those two places for our food plots all over the installation. Wormy is definitely a character! John, what do...

Also, for those of you who don't know... This Saturday is small business Saturday. Most of the feed stores we shop at accept American Express cards. If you have a card, type "small business Saturday" into facebook and register your card. By spending $25 on your American express at one of their...

I have been using Flint River Mills (FRM). I get a 50# bag at the Grovetown Farm and Garden for $11.55. I don't have a bag currently to tell you exact numbers but I know it has 15% protein. FRM is a southeastern Company based out of Bainbridge.

David, you did an amazing job organizing this! Thanks everyone for coming out. It was great to meet you all. It was great to hear so many people saying "I want to get into raising chickens." I think for the next one, while I won't have any to sell, I will concentrate on the educational aspect of...

So what is everyone bringing to display chickens in? right now all I have is 30 gallon totes and a roll of chicken wire. I was thinking of creating a small 2' circle pen for them with deer netting on top so people can actually see them. Also, is anyone bringing a net to catch any runaways?

Quote: I think it is a great idea. Oneofseven, I will be bringing 1 Production Red and 1 GC both 24 weeks old and about to start laying; 2 GCs been laying for 2 months and possibly a Americauna mix near point of lay. Danny/SubU, What chickens do you or will you have if you bring those girls...

Quote: This is a great idea. I wanted to do this for our swap in Irmo, but it wasn't as big a crowd as the Carolina one so i decided against it. What does everyone else think? I think it is a great idea. Oneofseven, I will be bringing 1 Production Red and 1 GC both 24 weeks old and about to...
