I saw on the news a few days ago that a group of Mennonites went down to New Orleans after Katrina and are still going building houses for the people down there. Yes, I admire them a lot. We've been quite friendly with a few especially the ones who work with the chickens. You've got good...

I've got lots of button quail babies, they sell fast but right now I probably have around 50 or 60. I just live about 15 or 20 miles from Cleveland, over here in Delano in Polk Co. Just before you get to the Mennonite horse and buggy community. If you will pm me I will give you...
Yes you need a permit unless you're selling under the radar. Basically, you have to have a refrigerator to store the eggs other than your kitchen refrigerator. They should be washed in a designated place other than your kitchen sink. Can't re-use egg cartons, and cartons must have your name &...
Leah, are you coming to the Farmers Market meeting Sunday? There's a couple there that bought some sheep for butchering from our cheese maker. I don't know if they butchered it themselves or had it butchered, but we can find out.
Chicken Fruit - I used to work in Knoxville and I drove all over town during lunch. I always went to the post office on Broadway. My daughter lives about a block from it. I hate to say it, but I dislike the clerks in any post office. There could be a line backed up for a mile and if it was...
I'm from Friendsville. Went all 12 years to school there. Now it's just an elementary school. Small sleepy town, couple of places to eat, no shopping, no grocery store except for a couple of convenience stores, and it's just a couple of miles from Fort Loudon Lake. There's a Methodist...
Hey Bbird, how are your birds doing in all this snow. Mine finally had as much as they could take today and made a break for it. I think one of them spotted a little green blade of grass and just had to have it. I almost couldn't coax the last 3 back into the run this evening but their feet...
My big old black cat dispatched a rat yesterday while waiting on me to finish up locking the birds up. I shut him up in the rabbit shelter (where I keep 2 birds during the day-at night they roost with the others) and he had it caught and half eaten when I opened the door. Yuk.... But I...
I love Thin Mints - however, I made Christmas cookies for everyone and ate too many. Since DH and I are both diabetic - I'd better pass. My Doctor is already upset with me.
I'm from Maryville, but not into breeding, etc. We had 2 get-togethers this year - 1 at Crackerbarrel in Alcoa - 1 rooster bought out in the parking lot. The 2nd meet was a picnic at one member's farm. Some chicks traded hands there. We've never had any big-time swaps or anything. But - who...
