vfem, let me know if you want me to check into the land for you. I can run a CMA for what land has gone for in the area. Even auctions are bringing close to actual value now. The days of getting a property for 1/2 the price are gone, if they ever even existed in NC. NC just hasn't seen all the crazy hype that is on national news. We've done a good job of staying pretty steady here!


Tarheel-yay! I hope you'll take some pics!

around populated areas definitely properties and land have stayed pretty steady. However up my way there are some steals, theres a 14.8 acre wooded farm a few miles up the road that is selling for 69,000 older 'ranch style' 2 bedroom house on it, fenced acre or so thats the main yard, and a fenced scrub horse pasture, small pond on the back part of the wooded property. If I had anyway you bet I'd snatch it up.

also a tiny house up the road on not quite an acre thats 18,000$ but then you go just a bit farther and inbetween and the prices sky rocket because your at the lake side areas that are quarter of a million dollars or more.

Here is a photo of my possibly broody cochin - affectionatelynamed Olivia - who's 4 eggs were very warm this morning when I snuck in to feed her and mark the eggs...just in case.

Wanted to show off what I do other than chickens and wanted to see what you guys think of it

I do believe she may be going broody. I see fresh feathers that look like some of hers, broodies tend to pluck their under feathers and line a nest, also it mainly serves the purpose of exposing the skin to have better contact with their eggs.

Simply beautiful! I'd never have the patience to do something like that....

Okay you just made my incredibly horrid day a million times better!! Even if she doesn't sit on them the entire time or gives up, I'm still excited!!

So if she started yesterday sitting, how long does it take for eggs to hatch?? LOL Is it typical for a first time broody to "give up" or are they pretty good at sticking with it?? Just trying to gauge what to expect. THANK YOU for all your help!!

ETA: Moore - that is absolutely beautiful!! Great job!! You definitely have not only patience but an eye for detail and plenty of talent!!

Sorry to hear that your day hasn't been good Eggs take about 21 days to hatch. And my cochin just hatched those 7 chicks and it was her first time broody. And my buff orp girl sat the whole time too on are first clutch. So your girl sits the whole time too!
