Sorry for such a late reply. I need to tweak my profile settings to notify me of responses. My chickens free range, and I don't want them getting in my garden and scratching it bare. And since I'm not sure that this years' garden location is going to be the permanent location, I don't want to...
I'm planning a garden this year, and I don't want my chickens destroying it. I want to put up a "cloth" fence around the garden but I don't even know if cloth fencing exists? This is an image of an electrical fence, but I'd LOVE to find something just like that but in cloth, and at a reasonable...
I like the idea of finding a mature male. Our local feed & seed store has a "trade day" once a month. I'll pay them a visit to see what's there for the pickin'.

Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I truly look forward to reading lots and lots of posts. This site is ENDLESS. I'll have a blast looking at everything.
Just happened upon this forum by accident. Sure glad I did.
We're in Midwest Georgia. We have seven chickens, currently, which are one Rhode Island Red rooster, one Rhode Island Red hen, two Barred Plymouth Rock hens, one Buff Plymouth Rock hen, and two Golden Comet hens. They are...
We go every few years or so. Absolutely love it. I understand one's fear of not knowing what you'll bring home with your chickens, but we've never had a problem. Knock on wood.
Great story! We had the same exact experience with a water turtle that we had for four years. When my son came home from school and looked in his terrarium he noticed that the turtle had gotten wedged between two large rocks below the water level. Drowned. We pulled the turtle out, and his...
