Hey all, Just thought I would give everyone around the Athens, Riceville Tn. area a "heads up" alert. I run a small hatchery here in Delano in Polk co. and in the last 5 days I have had 2 different people come to buy replacement chicks from me, apparently these people have had their entire flock stolen. One lady called me this morning and said someone had made off with all her leghorns, one buff Orpington Roo, and 4 Ameracanas last night. I felt so bad for her, she had raised them up from chicks and they were just at the point of laying, she was so upset. Another man had all of his Black Australorps stolen. For the life of me I cannot imagine why anyone would be so low down as to steal someones flock of chickens! I told her to call the police and make a report, she called me back and told me she did call them and when they got a chance they would come out.
It *might* be the work of unemployed illegals that couldn't buy food because they can't get a job.

...I, just this year, already gotten corn and tomatoes taken, but this spring, someone stole about 4-5 wheelbarrows full of beautiful soil.
Somebody stole soil?! I never thought somebody would steal that.
