Thank you. My chickens love me even if it is just for food, water and a scratch under the beak.
I am glad people are bringing in the colors and breeds we don't have here yet. There will ALWAYS be a new color or breed to bring in. Some people can just do it in bulk. I (unfortunately) am not...
Thank you. Just to calm any fears there has been 2 well named sellers/breeders come here to see my birds personally. And I have passed inspection.
This is Humphrey and Priscilla. He sits in my lap and tries to get to me anyway he can just to follow me. He's so sweet. Of course I have more than...
Hi everyone.
Thank you for standing up for me. I don't get to go online a lot. I started my auction low. I didn't know what to start them at or how much to charge. The auction gave me a base to list at. I am backed up on some orders I am collecting to fill right now. That's just the pre-paid...
I am looking for a couple of Buff Orpington Hens/Pullets for my rooster. I live in Gainesboro, TN.
1 or 2 is fine. I don't need a large flock. lol
Thankx bunches...Lynne

Ok, The non heaters please. I've read the posts already. I want more insight into "heating" as stated. Just keeping it above freezing. I mean no bad feelings and do not intend it to be a debate over the heating/non heating issue.
The Super Coop has a heater like this and...
Here's some of the reasons I don't use Straw. Especially in areas that may get wet. My runs will be covered but open on the sides and front. Straw gets heavy, it harbors bugs and if it starts to decay before I can remove it the birds can gets sick or most likely die from the molds as it decays...
Thats why I can post anywhere what I've got cookin.
I put it on my hubbys Fedex account and the eggs get here in 4 days.
Getting the rare breeds here is important. It's a lot of work and money. But if no one does it, they won't get here or have no new blood.
I have also have Lemon Cuckoo...
I don't sneak them. I use a company in Kentucky that takes care of the paperwork for me. It looks like 5 of the 12 eggs are developing really well. I will have some more soon. So it will be a while before these will lay eggs. Then the eggs are sent Fedex International with the permits etc on the...

I have started using foam. I HATE wrapping each individual egg!
I get them made by a local company and they are awesome for shipping eggs.
I don't replace eggs. I had too many people that wanted, wanted, and rewanted replacements. It got to where I was...
A few weeks ago my hubby was coming home thru Nashville. I-40 was shut down for a short while. There was an injured one on the side median between Nashville and Lebanon. Police, Fire Department and what looked like a Federal Vet SUV was there to capture it and take it to the hospital. Someone...
ok, just a thought but Clinton signed NAFTA. Bush had to go along with the agreement. BUT I didn't want get political. I didn't like Clinton or Bush. Obama's promises including revamping NAFTA or getting rid of it for a new trade agreement. I remember him in debates and stabs at Hillary over it...
When I have yellow squash and Zucchini from the garden I shred it. They love it small enough to gobble up.
This list is wonderful and as my elderly daddy tells me. Everything in moderation.
Deer netting! I was trying to remember what it was I have over the ducks. Thats it. It's tough stuff and it's been over the duck pens for about 3 years now and still strong.
I have a lack of space for large areas. Since I have trios or 3 hens to 1 roo. This set up is perfect. I can keep it in as compact an area as possible and still have the birds in one area without going from coop to coop outside. Even in bad weather I can tend the birds. The runs will be 15 ft...
PERFECT.
Please tell him I am a private breeder of rare poultry. I do not sell eggs or birds. They are my own personal flocks. I breed for preservation.
