Newish to forum,ave posted a few ??'s I live in Wetumpka area,just east. I just got back into chickens this year with the economy going to pot...Anyway ordered mine(25) from Murray Mcmurray ( the layers speical) and so far so good. I have also been to the auction in Eclectic,real nice country folk there with a good selection of animals.. One word of caution though, keep em seperate for a few months as I bought 15 buffs and ended up with fowl pox in all mine.
I now only have 18 hens and one large RIR roo,4 guineas, 20 quail, and now the big one..... 50 beehives, yes I'm one of the larger beekeepers in central Al. there are others but not in this area. I also mentor and provide extraction services for others. I do bee removals from homes and such.
Looking for more laying hens, and maybe a few goats. Considering a few large quail pens to start raising them next year.
Always looking for bee yards close by...
