Does anyone know of a flea market or auction this weekend where I could try to get rid of a few chickens ?

Depends on where you are. Lakon is big. There is a small one in Spruce Pine on Hwy 43

Mountain top is really big.

chicdaddy72,See if he will sale hatching eggs.If they are Amish blood they should be the real deal for sure.
   As for my son.His name is the same as mine John Alan Anderson,just add the 2nd.Cursed him from birth.He's only been in Boaz since he married in Sept 2013.Lives close to the old Pilgrims Pride chicken plant.I worked nights there catching for 15 years.I know every chicken house east of the Mississippi.lol

I will call him this weekend and see. I don't believe he will but he may have some young hens he is willing to part with.

I need to get rid of a couple too. Taking them to Springville to be auction off on June 14 if I don't get rid of them before then.

How about the flea market in Wilsonville? I don't know if they sell animals there...

As soon as all of MIL and BIL's stuff is moved out of here we're leaving! It's about time too.

I'll be in Bama before you know it!

Orps, what do you have left?

On another note.

I'm reconsidering my flock. I'm just not thrilled with it. I've got a couple birds I enjoy, but then also some I just keep because they lay...but I don't really like them. Eggs are nice ofcourse..

I've considered getting a rooster and being pro-active about keeping him quiet (putting him indoors at night), but then again, do I really want to deal with that stress? I would just really love to have a self perpetuating flock: a rooster and birds that get broody every now and again. I'd like more mutt chickens... calico looking easter eggers. Not really loving my hatchery production birds. It seems they're burning themselves out. I'm getting 5-6 eggs out of 9 girls, while last year I was getting 6-8 eggs a day. They're barely a year old...

Anyway, that's just me musing.

I need more ladies a laying! 5 eggs a day isn't cutting it for us.
