Hello Nellabean, I'm Emma, a new egg. We too are in east tn. Maybe you could help me with my continuing saga of "these chickens adopted me"! We began with 6 hens and 2 roos. I don't know what kind of chickens we have, they look kind of like french copper blacks, except in their faces. Well...
Hi from Walland, TN. I really enjoyed your "baby pics"! You are going to really enjoy BYC! I'm a new egg too and I find myself on here more and more. Some really nice folks here!
Hi Sweet Violet and fancbrd4me02, I'm a new egg also! I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I now reside in Walland, TN, it's in the foothills of the Smoky Mtn's. I didn't know you could have chickens in San Diego? When I was a kid a long, long time ago...I brought a baby rooster home...
And why, howcome, whyfor do we get rid of eggs that "float"? I'm a new egg and I have a lot to learn. I've never heard of this! I too have an egg question for the byc wise one's out there. How long can a broody hen be off her nest for, before the egg or eggs are no longer viable for...
I am also interested in organic chick feed as we have 3 broody hens sitting at the moment! I'd like to feed all our chickens organic food if at all possible, the other day Martha Stewart's show was all about raising chickens; she's been doing it for 30 yrs. She deals with Murray McMurray...

Thank You Tazcat! I will definitely get some sunflower seeds. Today I got 2 eggs, yesterday 1, and day before yesterday I got 1. One of our hens, I "think" they are Marans, but really I don't know for sure, has a blackish color on part of her comb, could this mean she's an older hen or maybe...
Dear CB; I'm so sorry about your clarise. In time, you will remember her and smile. I had a daschund dog named Stretch. We called him "Strechie", several years ago we lost him, it sill makes us a little sad, but every time we remember him we also laugh and smile. I hope to be a good...
I'm a new chicken mom, our chickens adopted us and I know nothing! Other than what I've learned at byc so far. Can you "train" chickens, I want mine to learn piano? OK, I'll be serious now, I was getting 2 eggs a day from 2 hens, we have or had 6 all together until just the last few days. 2...
I'm sorry my post was so long, just wanted to share our story as it's a little different than most others I have read. I don't know what kind of chickens we have, still working on that. See ya.
Good Morning Chicken people of America!
My name is Emma and I'm new here at Byc. I live in east Tennessee with my husband and my dog, her name is Butter, short for Butterscotch. She is a spoiled little princess, part jack russell terrier and part chihuahua. Last fall we began receiving...
