We have a plucker we rent to folks all over East TN. Once a year or so we do a "bring your own chicken and we'll show you how" day.

Hello my Smoky Mountain Peeps! I just found this thread, so will be reading through it for the next... good amount of time. I am in the Smoky Mountain region, and I primarily keep hens for the colorful eggs, but am just getting into breeding a couple specialty lines. I chose the username Poultry Ark, since I am prone to buying "two of each" when I purchase hens. You know how some people have drug seeking behavior? I have chicken seeking behavior! I spend far to much time thinking about where I can get a good egg layer!

I am curious to know what breeds you love, and which you avoid. Who is keeping what? I am also hoping to learn a little bit about tips for off the grid chicken keeping, specifically in the winter.

Welcome, my favorite breed is Cochins. They have the best personalities . Sorry, I can not help with the Winter because this will be my first Winter with chickens.
