I have an eight week old Plymouth Rock rooster and also a Buff Orpington rooster (same age) that need good homes. I live on Lake Norman in Mooresville so please let me know if you would like one or both of these birds (FREE of course). They are part of a group of sixteen that I inherited from...
Anyone know of a dealer in NC not too far from Charlotte that carries organic layer pellets? I have been feeding Countryside Organics and I find a lot of it in the sand of their pen. I want to switch back to my trigger feeder but it works so much better with pellets. Thanks!

More good news! We have gotten two eggs each of the past two days and the girls are using both nest boxes. Now we need the other three girls to start as well. All in time:)
