Congratulations!!! I was so excited when we got our first egg, I couldn't think about eating it!

I haven't tried peppermint. Let me know how it works. Glad to know I am not that only one with a rat problem. Also Amy at Happymtnfarm (I can email info if needed) is starting a project mixing LF eng Orps with a Bantam Choc. Orp. Check out the Imported English thread, but be careful, folks can...

I had a rabbit fixed many years ago. It cost the same as a cat. I would call the local rabbit rescue. I bet they could recommend a vet etc.

I have been wanting to go to Circle G for a while and just haven't been able to yet. I bet in the spring it will be full of little baby animals too! Here is two other places that have exotic animals in Sevierville, Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo http://www.deerfarmzoo.com and Rain Forest...

Have you heard of the Circle Ranch Farm in Strawberry Plains? That might be a fun place to go. http://www.ridecamels.com/.

Hello Everyone! Things have been crazy in Gatlinburg, but I am still alive! I am so ready for drier weather. Mud everywhere. I have waged war on the rodents in my coop and so far I am not sure who is winning. I even got a cat for Christmas! Chickens are starting to lay again. I am getting 6-8...

Thanks everyone for the advice! He is soaking in the fridge. I think I will wrap him up like you suggested Terri. We broke down and adopted two cats from local rescue. I am hoping they will help with mice in the coop. They are in house for a few days. Then I hope to let them out in the coop. I...

Yes that sounds good! I am not in a huge hurry and no pressure. I do have a farmer that took a few roosters over the summer. I may be able to call him and see if I can have one back. I don't think he would mind. It all works out in the end. Well he wasn't to old, he was from my Easter hatch...

Well, bad news for me today. My gorgeous Black Orpinton Rooster died. He got in to close to my playing dogs, and didn't make it through the tumble. :( I can't believe it was so fragile that the tumble killed him but it did. He was huge! It wasn't the dogs fault but a freak accident. I...

That is so sad! I have had 3 of my 8 chick that just hatched die. :( I was really bummed too.

Wow Stacy, thanks for sharing all the photos. That SFH is so crazy! I am glad Roo Roo has a happy home. So what gender do you think the Olandsk is? If you end up with a girl, I am pretty sure I will be able to help you out with a Rooster.

x2 I love mine! I almost burnt down my chicken coop with one of the lights.... so know this is the only think I will use. I have wondered if you could make something like it with a heating pad.....

So far I have 1 male and 1 female Cream Legbar! It is so cool knowing what they are as soon as they hatch. I sure would love to hatch out another female!

Adorable! I love mini rex bunnies! Quote:

I am think she is shaping up nice, and not sure how she stays so clean. I guess it is from the sand in my runs. PS I read a while back you where thinking about starting a project while you are keeping your flock closed.... I think you should work on Silver Laced Orps or AMs... Would that be...

Oh I still have the splash pullet, but lost my blue male... all I have left is a black male, so that would mean no splash babies for me next spring. Here she is (please, please don't look at the bag of dog food laying in the background): Wow really only keeping one blue pullet? What are...

Thanks, just keep me posted. I totally understand if it isn't cost effective to do the testing. I just can't believe that I finally hatched my first splash pullet, only to loose my only blue male a few months later. PS: I just had to share this. They finally have the Egg Skelter available...

Or maybe Tuesday..... tomorrow is a holiday. Maybe if I vaccinated all of my birds first it would be extra safe?

Quote: That Splash Orp is gorgeous!!!! Please tell me you aren't going to eat him! If he is uninfected he can come live with me.

Ok that was her DH, sorry I was confussed. Maybe I can pick her up for them.
