First baby is out under 3 hours from pip to zip and now my second one is zipping, this was the first one to pip over night so taking its time. Have to leave in a few to get my kids wonder if anymore will be out when i get back?

I am in Elizabethton and will gladly take in any roos that people have, if you can accept the fact that they have a pretty good chance of being eaten. I try to place as many roos as I can with people through Craigslist, and most of my roos find homes, but I do eat what I can't home!

Wonderful! Can't speak for everyone, but I have no problem with it. Would you mind emailing me your name and number and any other contact info. We r still getting things together, so unsure when we will be going before the city council (mayb in Sept/Oct), but we will be giving them your name and telling them that you agree to take the roos. Would u mind providing us with a statement saying u do agree. We need to be as prepared as possible when we go before them and we could give them your statemnt so they can verify if need be. My email, [email protected]

Gladly, I had to verify it with the hubs and the landlord, and now have so I'll send you my information! We enjoy having the fresh chicken and I will be able to donate some of the butchered prepared roos to the needy if I end up having many, many roos to butcher, which will be wonderful! Older butchered roos and chickens I donate to the Wynnwood animal rescue, for food for the raptors and raccoons and owls! I'll include all this information in my e-mail, and hopefully that will help push your cause along, Johnson City needs more chickens!

Hey peeps, I was wondering if anyone here is near Cleveland & would like some quail? In the last two weeks both my hubby's & my health have taken a further, sudden dive & I have some lovelies that I need to give away. I have some just turned adult buttons and a few coturnix as well. A so called friend said he wanted the coturnix, even talked us into hatching a few more so I could keep some hens for the lone male we are keeping & he would buy the rest. But he keeps putting us off & I can't afford to wait much longer as in a couple of weeks or so I'll have to start separating the males as they begin crowing.

Awesome, congrats Heather, I hope you have a great hatch with many little happy, healthy featherbabies.

Just got this information and thought i'd pass it on if anyone is interested. The Greene County 4-H is having a poultry auction at the Greene County Fair Grounds September 24th from 10am to 1pm. I don't know if they are all the same breed since 4H tends to have their members work the same projects within their groups. Once I find out for sure i'll pass on the info.

Ok Sandra and everyone else, you can uncross appendages, we're all done! Ended up with 6 of 11 hatching. 5 were iffy going into lockdown, of those 5, 2 hatched. I had 2 that went in strong just gave up on me. I'll post pics later, i'm trying to get them all settled in to the little brooder. >rubbermaid tote with holes in it!<
