    Not mine... But we did lose 4 Aussies today :( One of the 5 must have gotten away as I found her hiding in the bushes. The culprit tore straight through 1/2inch mesh hardware cloth. I caught a picture of a dog on a different part of our property on a trail camera. Color matches the hair I found...

    An update to the Australorps that we got at the end of Feb. Looks like we truly did luck out with only 1 roo and 5 girls. Here they are free ranging this past weekend. He's gotten his crow perfected, luckily the trees/brush between the coop and our house dull it out in the mornings (I'm...

    Here are our almost 7 week old Australorps from TSC. I think we might have lucked out and only got 1 roo, which is fine by us! Any other opinions on the gender?

    Sexing 6-7 week old Australorp from TSC

    These are our Australorps purchased from TSC. They are almost 7 weeks old. It seems like we lucked out and only got 1 roo, but was looking for more experienced opinions. Any strong opinions on what gender these might be? Sorry for the low quality, I can get different pictures and...

    I found the following link from tn.gov/agriculture on Farmers Markets and requirements for selling eggs. Is there an additional requirement on the cartons other than what they list in that document on page 4? Quote: If there are other requirements, can you point me to them? (I have not sold...

    It's been a while since I posted. During all the snow and ice, all 4 of my girls (choc wyandottes from Donna) were laying. I was getting 3-4 eggs per day. However, as soon as the cold weather passed, the top girl went broody. Then the second in the pecking order went broody. Now I've got 2...

    So I was checking out CL and saw a post that sounded too good to be true. http://nashville.craigslist.org/zip/4914299356.html 23 Free Chickens with a free coop in Chapel Hill, TN (with some layers). The post said to text or call so I went to text the number given and got an error that it...

    So our top-of-the-pecking-order pullet decided to go broody on us yesterday. We have 5 laying boxes, but the pullets all lay in only one box. This morning another girl and the broody were in the same box. Obviously the other girls want to lay, but the broody is content on staying in the box. I...
