I'm being stalked by a fox! Thank goodness for my peafowl waking me up hollering during the night and putting the dogs on high alert! I set a trap this evening so hopefully I will have a ticked off critter with a bushy red tail in it in the morning. Wish me luck!

Good morning folks

It's been such lovely weather lately
that it's tempting to stay home.......if
only I could.....so much needs my attention

been deciding what we will be keeping
chicken wise........not an easy task

hope you have a good day and stay dry

Good Morning, Everyone!

Another chilly morning that should turn into a wonderful, bright day.

I kept a recent fortune from a cookie. I thought I'd share. "Relish the transitions in your life - they will happen regardless." Just another way of saying what I'm always telling the hubby and the kids..."If you can't change it, figure out a way to enjoy it." (Pay attention here, Luka!) It's what I've been trying to do with the quarantine issue...find that silver lining.

It's my third "keeper" fortune cookie ever. One is taped to my laptop. "Begin....the rest is easy." The other is on my bulletin board at work, "As soon as you feel too old to do something, do it."

Since I have no chicken news, I figured I'd find something to share anyway!

Have a great day everyone!

Good luck Amy! Let us know what happens.

Here are my new babies. The 2 white I was told part Ameracauna and Polish?


The Speckled a bantam, breed unknown liked the pattern and colors. I guess the white ones would be considered as EE's. I love the bearded ones being I have mostly EE's and down to 1 D'Anver. Also 1 Japanese bantam and Henry the Lakenvelder Rooster.

Hello Fellow North Carolina Chicken Addicts! We are relatively new to BYC. We live on Lake Norman north of Charlotte. Our coop can be viewed at:

https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/lake-norman-coop-de-ville

Let me know what you think. This all started because we saw a local news segment on urban coops in Charlotte. We did a ton of research and now here we are.

We have five 20 week old Hy-Line Brown hens that we absolutely love. We got them through the state program and picked them up in Mt. Ulla almost three weeks ago. No eggs yet. We were a little upset that the hen's beaks were trimmed.

We have coffee by the coop every morning and go down several times a day to hang with the flock. We are self employed and blessed to be able to work from home most of the time.

We are so crazy about our five girls and have learned so much from them. Our time down by the pen has created an awareness of the nature around our cove. We hear the buzz of the bees around the flowers, the calls of many different birds including three red tailed hawk and several great blue heron that hang out here. The girls are comical and so much more fun to watch than any show on TV. We feel so relaxed after our time with them.

We hope to get to know many of you that live in our area and appreciate all of the great people here on BYC!
