    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Girl Scout, too! I was a troop leader up until this year - not enough parent support made activities impossible. We had some good times :)

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    This is our first year keeping chickens so I don't have anything to compare it to but I have certainly lost more than I was expecting. Since Easter we have taken in 25 chicks, re-homed 5 cockerels, lost 6 pullets to predators (3 to fox, 1 to cat, 2 to hawk), after re-homing or slaughtering the 7...

    I say SNAKE. They are moving like crazy here. We have found 3 in a week & my neighbors down the block found 4 snakes in 2 days. Pictures of huge rattlesnakes are making the rounds, but luckily we have only found garden snakes. Getting ready for winter, perhaps. Sorry about your lose.

    Wyandottes - can't believe I left that part out! I drug home an old dog house the other day so I could separate them from the rest of the flock & restore peace to chickdom. LF? Is that large fowl? I have 3 bantam cochin roos - 1 blue & 2 splash - will also need to go soon. The Wyandottes came...

    I need to re-home 2 Gold-laced roos. They are 2 rowdy little boys (I imagine them making fart jokes, pulling ponytails, and revving their engines when they spin their wheels), but alas they are driving my hens nuts. Good stock.

    Welcome to BYC! Keep an eye on Craig's List if you are only wanting a couple of hens. I don't meet anyone - I go to their coop to check it out. Don't be afraid to pass either for whatever reason. I ask a ton of questions; the people who baby them like I do, answer all my questions happily. I...

    The hawks in my neighborhood do circle. Thy make passes over my yard throughout the day. If they see me, they circle a few times & then move on. It is a group of 3 - I figure, a pair of mates and their chick. And they are hawks; I have seen them up close & personal perched in our yard. When they...

    I have read so much about cocci lately, I don't know where I read it, but chickens that free-range a lot are less likely to suffer from a cocci overload b/c they have built up an immunity. But mine are little & spend a good deal of time in a brooder. After yesterday's hawk debacle, no one was...

    They are sold out. Apparently, cocci is a big problem right now. They should have more in on ----- Sunday!

    Well, WHERE do you buy supplies?! I need to treat my chicks with Corid & I have been to Chasmars & Tractor Supply and nothing! I am so frustrated. My chicks are going to kill over before I can find this holy grail of livestock antibiotic.

    I did try to shoot it - with my camera phone. To post pictures on BYC.

    My neighbor gave me this long spill how it could not possibly be the hawks in our neighborhood because they are Mississippi something-another and are too skittish to bother my chickens. So I walked back home (I was over there hunting my chickens) to tell my husband this breaking news. And there...

    Hooray! My pullets came home! I thought the hawk took them but he only scared them off. When we came home tonight, they were here! Scared but ok. So 1 beheaded Wyandotte but everyone else ok. So my chickens outside ok. My chicks in the brooder....I think we got cocci, folks.

    Um...forget my last post ...I no longer need to re-home that Swedish Flower Hen roo or the Wyandotte roo. A hawk snatched 5 of my chickens today. FIVE! Pulled one's head off trying to get it through the cage. The hawk sat on the clothes line post waiting for me to split so he could finish the...

    Looking for silkies in middle Georgia area. Have a Swedish Flower Hen roo & gold laced Wyandotte roo that I need to re-home, if someone is open to a trade (not necessarily a chicken - whatcha got worth bartering for?). I live in town & can't have roosters.

    Hi, BYC! My young flock & I are in Cadwell (that's the blinking light between Dublin & Eastman). I need to make some chicken friends because I am afraid I will be re-homing some roos soon
