    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Hi! I just moved to Georgia and am glad to finally get here! We were in Upstate NY and now we live in Rincon GA - good to be back in the South. Miss my flocks though - we ended up renting an apt until we decide where we want to buy so no chickens unfortunately. Miss the flocks, the eggs and...

    Well that is good news! Hate to come out to hogs munching in my garden or on my chickies. We have the GA hunting Guide already and it mentions them as an issue so I thought I would ask. How's the soil there and how long is the planting season? Do you all have to heat the coops in the winter...

    ...have X-rayed those poor eggs - not a one hatched and most ended up not being fertile - I know it wasn't your eggs - I'M 100 % that it was they @#** PO again. I can always tell because of the NO HATCH rate. I could kick them in the kenickies!.... I was soo excited about those Silkies and...

    Horsekeeper: I would recommend that when you dig your wire in that you add some heavy gravel to deter additional digging. My husband staked our fencing into the ground with fencing and then with 6 inch pieces of bent heavy wire every foot - we then put heavy stone and larger rocks around the...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Nice! We only have 8 here and were going to buy the 6 next to us until we decided that the cold was too much for my arthritis and my Fibromyalgia. Not to mention the VERY BAD taxes here. Plus I missed all the nice people in the South and how friendly every one is. At least the neighbor is at...

    My husband calls Silkies the purse dogs of the chicken world isn't that funny! (the smack is for him....) What colors do you have - would love to keep them in but my St Bernard even at almost 10 years old would think they were fun for her to stroll after. We lived in the Tidewater area of...

    Oh that is just soooo sad! I had two sets of quail this year that didn't fare to well either. A bunch didn't hatch, then some hatched at "odd" times - some at day 17 and some of the same group at day 27....literally weird. had a couple that were fully formed but just didn't hatch all the way...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    I will, we hope to hear something this week and our closing should be at the end of this month (June) here in NY so we plan to be down there the first week of July. Found a lot of nice homes (course in subdivisions....) and some nice townhomes if that is what need to get our first year. Don't...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Howdy, Howdy! Sorry about not being on recently! Still packing and figuring out where we are ending up - Midway, GA is about 15 min below Savannah and not too far from Rincon, Richmond Hills, Pooler and I guess about an hour or less above Brunswick, GA. Miss my flock badly....don't miss the...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Hi there! Moving hopefully to GA in the next month and I have few questions about ordinances - we may be near the Midway area and I wanted to know what kind of restrictions they have on Chickens? We have had quite a few where I live now and are selling off the last 22 of our flock tomorrow...

    Looking for the Georgia Thread - Anyone near Savannah??

    thank you so much! Yes I remember Flying Roaches in SC! My Ex Mother in Law used to call them Palmetto Bugs - I told her they were stinking flying Roaches! We have giant mosquitoes here along with black flies that will eat you up here in certain areas like where I live in the foothills of the...

    Looking for the Georgia Thread - Anyone near Savannah??

    Hi! We are possibly looking to move to GA - for the long long term. We were wondering what the ordinances are on having chickens in places like Midway, Hinesville or anywhere around Savannah. We had bunches and bunches of chickens here in NY but I'm selling off the last of them tomorrow (my...

    Hey There! Sorry, Sorry Sorry! I have been chasing my tail since I got back from NC House Hunting! All the inspections are finally done, they forgot one the day they did everything else. I guess everything else is done. Surgery on Tuesday for my shoulder so I'll be out of commission for six...

    You know I really want to but I need to find out the ordinances for the areas and when I pick a house go from there! I will sell my barred rock flock to some friends and I have already started to pare down some of the little guys - my sumatra, nankin, PH Game Fowl and a couple others. I have...

    You all should know that an empty incubator is just as bad as having Silkies around! It begs and whispers for eggs just like Silkies used mind control for you to hatch more of them - we've been experimenting with Tin Foil hats here in NY to see if it helps - then we went to full suits.....still...

    Don't you just love Psycho Chicks!!!!???? I had some of them - thank goodness they calmed down after they got a bit older and of course "mom" bringing them worms has been very very popular. I come outside now and it's a cheep fest for worms at the fence. I haven't let them out to forage yet -...
