MHF, I've been waiting a loooong time to be "accepted" to NCpoutry2 also. I think I tried to use "Roosteroops" over there also.
I ended up driving to Lillington yesterday and buying a great chicken tractor - a rare breeds breeder (carolinachickenranch.com) builds and sells them- and then used Craigs list to supplement my little flock - had to drive way into Louisburg.
I'm near Raleigh, and if you meet within an hour of the Raleigh area, I'd love to meet and swap - I have pullet EE's an EE roo a Rhode Island Red Roo, a weird looking frizzle maran, and various other breeds totalling 11. (5 are under a year and the rest are pullets)
