We haven't had that much snow since the last ice age!

Enjoy your stay, Rancher! Looks like we'll have some good weather for you. Karen

Quote: I don't live in Huntsville but if I did I would definitely pull this funny little prank on your mom. That would be hilarious! As to the breeds, I've had good luck with Buff Orpingtons and Black Australorps being friendly and easy to handle. A friend of mine in Tennessee has a white...

Quote: Spoke with a lady yesterday at the nail salon who lives near shades crest road. She said her neighbor has chickens and even has a rooster. I guess it just depends on whether your neighbors complain or not. I live in Hoover and called the city offices before I ordered the chicks. They...

Hey Julia, Welcome to Alabama, if you're new to the state! I have a 4x6 ark in my backyard here in Hoover. We did have five hens in it but the heat stress caused a couple of them to fight, so one found a new home yesterday. I think she will be happy there. We tried buff orpingtons last...

Hey y'all, Does anybody want one of my Australorp hens? She is a sweet girl and Easy to handle, but the others peck her head when I put her in with them. I've had her separated for the last couple of weeks but tried putting her back in this Morning. Instant chicken fight! Let me know if you...

Haha, no I don't suppose it would be. Don't have any GK yet, myself. Skype is really a wonderful tool tho. When I was a kid, I only got to talk To my GP on the phone a couple of times a year and see them for two weeks in the summer. As for the DS getting to Maxwell by mistake, I'm all for...

Millbrook is nice. Is DS at Maxwell AFB? Thank him for his service for me, will you? My nephew is Army, deployed in Afghanistan at the moment. Karen

Hey Rancher, If you are going to stay in Fairhope, y'all could make a day trip to Mobile. The USS Alabama battleship is there. You can also visit Fort Morgan or take the ferry across to Dauphin Island and visit Fort Gaines, if you like history, that is. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are lovely...

Welcome, paliminopup! I'm kind of new to the chicken world myself, but the folks on this forum are some of the nicest and most helpful anywhere. I just have regular chickens, so I wouldn't know a thing about exhibiting. I do know there's an Alabama Egg Festival in the spring, I think. There...

Quote: One of mine did the same thing. She stayed off by herself and slept a lot for the first two or three days. When I picked her up she would fall asleep right in my hand. Hopefully, you've taken Crickett's advice and posted it on the other two forum topics. I'm sure you'll have plenty of...

Quote: When I lived there, there wasn't a "north" woolmarket. I did graduate from HCHS. In 1977. I know things must have changed quite a bit since then. Did you graduate from there? Glad I type so young here online!

Hey sungirlb, I lived in Woolmarket and went to Harrison Central High School with a lot of Ladners and Sauciers. Welcome to BYC.

Quote: That is hillarous. I can believe that. You know they have to have their cut. They have lost too much revenue. Apparently you are not spending enough in their retail establishments to keep the taxes coming in. Yeah, but that's normal for me. All those folks who bought $500,000...

I'm in the city limits, but in an older neighborhood with no home owners association. My husband's last court of appeal was for me to call the city and make sure chickens were "legal". The call was pretty comical. The first lady I talked to didn't know the answer but she connected me to the...

If I get more than five, my DH will file for divorce and my next door neighbor will have a stroke. I'm hoping he'll like them as much as I do and won't mind if I get a few more. Did anybody go to the Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival a couple of weekends ago? It was in Moulton. I saw a link to...

Quote: Hope my DH doesn't see this post, I'm starting out with 5, too. They get here on May 6th.

Hey Melissaowens, Welcome to BYC! Where are you in Alabama and what kind of chickens do you have? Karen

Great, maybe I can make it to the next two. There's just too much going on at the old homestead right now. My chicks won't be here until 5 May so I won't have much of anything to swap, but it might be fun to come and just look around.

Hey Nancy, Welcome to Alabama in advance. I had a friend who moved to Ft Rucker from Germany many years ago. It was a shock at first, but after she got used to it she loved it. Karen
