You're right! We are very close to Clarksville.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Finally home and all is well! Added a few birds to our flock today.
We drove all the way to North Central Arkansas and picked up some Heritage Exhibition chickens. The males weigh out at 11+ pounds each! There are two Buff Orpington males, 3 females (Bacon/Britt line); a black and a blue hens, both from an exhibition Blue Orpington line.
And Samson.....a huge 3+ year old Cecil Moore line via Superior Farms Black Orpington. We will try to weigh him in the morning, but am guessing at 12+ pounds. He will be added to our Black Orpington breeding program where his sons and daughters are already at.
And lastly, a pen of Orpingtons that are Black Split to Self Blue (Lavender). These are juveniles and about 3 months or so from point of lay. We already have their Self Blue father here. Their mothers were Cecil Moore line black Orpingtons. The jury is still out on their quality of type. But they look good so far. Will post photos asap.
This is a breeding partnership that we hope is very productive.

Hello fellow Arkansans from Evening Shade, the one in Sharp Co., North Cental AR.
I've been a member here since April 2007 and was living in Middle TN at the time. Hubby and I bought our land our here in June 2009 and made the official move to our property at the end of September 2009. We love it here and I can't wait to talk more with everyone.
When we bought the place it was totally undeveloped 17 acres of woods. We 've only selectively cleared about 2 acres for our camper, coops and garden and won't be clearing any more as we love living in the woods. We started out "roughing it" with no electric but did have city water put in to make life easier as it's too rocky to try and drill a well. We got our electric back in January of this year and just got a bit more civilized by getting our internet hooked up 2 days ago.
Looking forward to talking to y'all!
Dawn
