Okay - my innocence has been shattered, chewed up and spit out. I love 'country' living and still stand by my belief that if some living creature makes it to my property, they are safe for life. BUT now I have to draw a line at copperheads. After the experience of having 3 dogs bit in one day...

Finally had the roo man take all 8 of my buff bantam brahma roos and 3 hens (he wouldn't without some hens.) That was really hard for me - I guess I don't do real well with this farming thing, but the birds I have are totally loved. I did keep 4 brahma hens and a bantam mille fleur roo. If...

Don't know where you're located or where they would like a ceremony, but I know the man that has this wedding chapel and I've had 2 people hold their wedding there with awesome reviews. and I AGREE ABOUT HOT - - - http://ucbjournal.com/news.php?id=408

I'm still learning, but that's a roo (I'm pretty sure.) Based on all the more knowledgable entries on this thread, the indicators are that he is standing upright and his tail is carried up. Now - I know I was supposed to call the rooster man, but I still haven't. Isn't anyone interested in...

Can anyone tell me what type of rooster this is? I think its a Mille Fleur, but MacMurray Hatchery told me it was a buff brahma rooster. When I bought my 15 chicks, they threw in 1 'exotic' and its this rooster. I emailed them to see if they could identify and they told me its a buff brahma. I...

I've been to Poultry Hollow 2x - once I got 4 silkies (one died from what I'm sure was Marek's disease) and the second time I got some cochins that had respiratory illnesses that I battled for several months. I went back the second time fairly soon after the first, so my poor little silkie...

OMG - the Sunflowers are a great idea and I have tons of seed left over. I planted them in my garden for my cucumbers to climb up - didn't think of the chicken yard. Thanks for the idea!

He did come around - thanks. He was REALLY lucky because the hawk couldn't carry him away and my husband scared him away ( he also scared himself!)

Thanks, everyone. I actually spent the day thinking and working. I have a very young bradford pear in the middle of the yard and just went out and bought several good size shrubs to plant. After some quiet time and isolation in my lap, my roo came around - so no loss (thank goodness). I put...

Had my first run-in with a hawk in the chicken yard. Had one of my bantam roos - The roo is really lethargic and I'm not sure it'll survive. Not much external injuries, but the head looks a bit the worse for wear. As much as I want help ridding myself of some of these roos, that's not quite what...

Sometimes I wish I ate meat also - and I only have some bantam roos. DARN . . .

I think you are close to me - near Cookeville? Can you tell me who you call so I can call too? I got one reference, but this one was near Chattanooga and that's a haul fo rme - - -

I really like reading all your entries. I learn so much from you more experienced chicken enthusiasts. I just wanted to say thank you. It feels good to have a place to go if I have a question/problem. Now - are you sure NOBODY wants any buff bantam brahmas? Otherwise I think I'll be calling the...

I am so sorry to hear about your horrible loss. The scene must have been extremely traumatic for you and for the children. The insensitivity of some people just shocks and amazes me. Where is the empathy? My heart goes out to your family - it sounds like your Corgi was a true gem. Peace . . .

Yeah - great to "meet" you! We're neighbors . . .

OH - HA HA HA! I never know when its a shortcut or a boo-boo.

I'm in Monterey - - - East of Cookeville about 20 miles. By the way, what is an oc roo guy? I'm unsure of some of the shorthand used on this thread, but I'm learning.

Still looking to share some 8 week old buff bantam brahmas. They are very sweet, but I have 7 roos and 8 hens. I need to share some roos. If you'll take 2 roos, I'll give away a hen, though my goal was to increase my hens. Geez, this chicken stuff is hard . . . how do you guys do it??? Since...

She's been with the group for a few weeks - first hanging around and roosting with mom, but then mom kept kicking her off the roost at night, and they all (including the rooster) will chase her out of the house entirely at night. I've tried putting her in there, but find her in the little...

Thanks - ill give that a try. Two of them are really the meanies. Can you also tell me when I should try to incorporate my little brahmas? I've kept them separated, but am thinking maybe I could add the hens to the flock and keep the roos separate? I'm so much of a novice - I don't understand...
