    Anybody interested in some Silkies? I've been working on them for years and now suddenly find I'm going to have to move and most likely rent for while until we find the right place. I've got 17 silkies total. 5 hens between 1-3 years old- decent show and breeding quality. Then 8- 3 months...

    Meganjhett: re Rural King. I do think they have the best selection in Clarksville but I haven't been since early last week and I'm sure the inventory has changed. They often do have bantams. They usually get new chicks in on Wednesday and sometimes Friday but they tell me that isn't always the...

    Plenty of EES- mostly partridge looking but a few lighter ones. Can't remember about leghorns. They often do but I don't specifically remember seeing any then but not a breed i was looking for so can't remember for sure.

    I was at Rural King in Clarksville yesterday. Surprised to see Lakenvelders. Unfortunately dear husband was along and asked silly questions like why do I think I need them. Left without any chicks. But I thought I'd pass it along because it is not an easy breed to find. .

    I got Sicilian Buttercups at Rural King in Clarksville last year. I haven't even been there to look this year yet. Since I live in Clarksville, I go fairly often and usuallyt find in later March through April they have the largest selection. It did not do me much good to call ahead, they didn't...

    I had to come on here and find out Rural King has chicks already! My husband will kill me. Clarksville Rural King usually has a decent selection but generally its late March or early April before they get a huge selection. Or so I'm telling myself. But I could just take a quick look next time...

    I also use no supplemental lighting and I've had at least some eggs all winter. About half my summer totals, but still steady production. The welsummers and the black australorps (1 and 2 years old) layed the best all winter except for about 6 weeks off per bird in late fall/early winter when...

    I've got a truly exceptional partridge cockerel. He's just turned 5 months last week and I wasn't sure he was a male until a week ago. He got such a round fluffy shape. No hard tailfeathers at all. Perfect feet. A perfect dark walnut comb and small wattles. As fluffy as he is, he's till growing...

    Anybody in Middle Tennessee interested in a black showgirl? She/he is about 3 1/2 months old and I am leaning toward pullet but am not 100% sure yet. He/she is exceptionally nice; really nice 5 toed feet, super dark black coloring and while I hesitate to call something this young show quality...

    A showgirl who is 11-12 week old. What do you all think, male or female?. I'm kind of leaning toward pullet but then again some days I think I am not sure. She's got no real comb to speak of and she probably isn't far enough along to be sure there won't be streamers but there are none yet.. She...

    That's my problem too. I've got two silkie girls broody, two raising chicks, and two recovering from broody that aren't laying yet, and several too young to lay so I'm getting one silkie egg a day.right now. Keep me in mind for the future. I have never thought I liked sizzles but yours are so...

    I should have a hatch end of the week and then an empty incubator. Anyone around Nashville area or Dickson have show quality sillies and willing to sell some hatching eggs? I'm open to most colors but looking for very good quality. Super fluffy, correct feet and combs, etc. Please PM me if you...

    I live in Clarksville and stop by Rural King regularly. I was told they get new chicks in on Wednesday afternoons and sometimes Friday. Last year I found they had the largest selection of breeds in town by long shot. So far this year, they don't have a whole lot yet.They usually have the...

    I think my original seed was from either Wintersown or Bakers a few years ago but I've seen seed a lot of places online lately. Plants are harder to find. Wintersown.org used to send 6 tine packages of heirloom seeds for stamped self addressed envelope but they're not doing that anymore I...

    Speaking of tomatoes, for the best taste I'm partial to Black Krim, an old heirloom variety. Brick red/brown tomatoes, medium size, really wonderful taste. I also grew Mortgage Lifter, another old heirloom a few years ago. Flavor was good-nice but not exceptional, but production was incredible...
