I'm hoping to make it. I requested the day off from work, but they've already started begging me come in. Is anyone planning on bringing anything to sell/swap??

Hi! I'm near Savannah. Just minutes away in SC.

Anybody near the Savannah area interested in blue ameraucanas? I have three left that hatched out 4/8. Looks like two girls and a boy to me.

I used a make-shift crow collar of Velcro. Worked pretty well, but my girls are just as loud in the mornings. I'd say it cut the sound in half.

Publix is the same way. Said if they started giving it away, everyone would want some, then they'd have to find a way to charge for it. Seriously?!

@PapaChaz Thanks for your input. I did not post on the ameraucana form because a lot of them are bullies.

So I know there are some people here that understand genetics better than I do. I have a black ameraucana rooster and one black and one splash pullet. I can easily tell the two girls' eggs apart. So I should end up with blue chicks from the splash and black chicks from the black. I swear a black...

I wouldn't pay as much attention to feathering with the AMs. My last black pullet almost had another home because she was so slow to feather in. Her comb never grew. That was her saving grace.

For those of you near Savannah...

I got mine at Home Depot, although a few years ago.

I am near Savannah and have had a really tough time finding much nearby. I have an ameraucana roo who has recently come of age. He is with an assortment of girls, most of which are not laying yet. The ones who should be laying are doing some serious slacking. Please share if you find anything.

I have found that my chicks generally don't like it as hot as the suggested temps. But with that said, some breeds are just more fragile than others. I don't know anything specific about the salmons, but perhaps they are one of them. Hope everything works out.

I had a hen with an impacted crop. She displayed similar issues. I'm not sure what you can do if she did eat the vet wrap. Are you up for crop surgery? Some seem to do it easily, but I don't know if I could do it.

I'd love it. Being in the country and getting to a point of self sufficiency is living "the life" to me. Of course, people think it means something is wrong with me, but I look forward to that day.

I love the idea of adding something green to it. Thanks!

I just started fermenting my layer pellets. Do you ferment the alfalfa as well? Is this a commercially available feed?

Amazing place!

I've only experienced that look twice. First time was an impacted crop. I was too much of a newbie to realize anything was wrong until it was really wrong. Second time, my pullet that was making that face dropped a soft-shelled egg and was immediately better after that.

I used to live by a "pet store" like that. Our local SPCA handled them fairly quickly. They are now a Staples.

I need all of your expertise! I just bought two pullets that will be arriving wed. How do you all quarantine? I've read two weeks, 30 ft from flock and I've read 30 days. Someone else suggested adding one of the existing hens after the initial quarantine to see if the new birds are carriers...
