    Kentucky anyone?

    I love Tn. I live further south than where you are talking about, but from my travels throughout this great state, I would say anyplace outside of any city would fit what you are looking for. We first looked around the Cookeville area, which is closer to where you may be looking,but couldn't...

    Best way to treat these injuries. GRAPHIC PICS

    I am so sorry !! Bless their little hearts. I would say to clean them up with a half solution of peroxide and then rinse it well with water. Triple antibiotic cream and keep them isolated away from the other chicks until they heal, so they don't get pecked on. If they peck at each other, maybe...
