    It could have been a red-tailed hawk. Last year a red-tailed got one of my old flock of GC's and that's how I found her carcass. We had just laid down for a Sunday afternoon nap when I heard the chickens raising a ruckus out back. I normally don't let them out until dusk but for some reason I...

    I'm looking for a young Polish roo if someone here in central NC has one. Must be young. He will will be caring for the needs of 24 BSL's pullets who just started to lay. The wife relented and said I could have one but it'd better not attack her when she goes out to the run. Please respond...

    Does anyone here know of a hatchery or even an individual here in NC who sells Polish chickens? I'd really like to get a Polish Rooster for my flock. Every time I see one it makes me smile and wish we had one. Teresa says she doesn't want a roo but I'll be you dollars to doughnuts that she'd...

    We've gotten all 30 of our pullets from Shooks over the past 18 months or so and we've been happy with them. Ours are the Gold Comets but I wanted to get some of the Black Sex Links back in May when we got our last 11 but they are only selling GC's this year. Last year they had GC's, BSL's...

    Quote: Try Shooks Poultry in Claremont, NC. They provide four or five breeds of 'Started Pullets'. Very reasonably priced at about $6.50 each for 18 week old pullets. I got 19 Gold Comets from them last spring and they have been the very best layers ever! They started laying at 22 weeks...

    Quote: Wow! De Ja Vu all over again. We're doing the exact same thing. We live over near Statesville, just about 7 miles to the east and we have a little place that backs up to the Rowan County line. We're doing the Square Foot Gardening now too. We've had eight big raised boxes...

    Quote: Thanks! We've been doing this less than a year. I started building the coop late last January when Teresa placed an order to Shooks Poultry. They're up in Claremont over towards Hickory. In mid-April we got our first six 18 week old started pullets which are Gold Comets or Red Stars...

    Quote: I live just to the east of Statesville. If you want to come up on the weekend I'll be glad to show you my coop and run. Here's a couple of pics of it now: I took this carport and made it into a chicken run and put my coop inside it. I put chicken wire mesh around it, built a gate...
