There is a breeders list in the breeding and hatchery group but not all of us are listed in there..like me

I'm SURE if you tell us here what your looking for if the TN breeders have it you will find out real quick

So what are you wanting or going to want? All of us chicken crazy people have our wish list.

Actually, between the lot of us, there really is a good chance that someone will have what you want! There are more and more TN people every day!

As other said just ask here and there. Alot depends if you are just after a homebred chicken or show stock. There are alot of close swaps and sales too. Just ask.

If you can wait until summer, I should have both. My ameraucanas aren't laying at the moment. Actually, with the cold they pretty much all have stopped.

Anyway, come summer I should have ameraucanas (blue eggs), EasterEggers (a variety of green eggs shades, including olive) and hopefully a successful welsummer hatch (chocolate brown). I have pics of everything on my blog (see link below).
If you have something specific that you want I would be happy to toss it under a hen for you. With 9 silkies somebody is pretty much guaranteed to be broody.

out here in the foothills (i'm directly below Chilhowee Mtn) it's hardly getting out of the teens during the day. it's been single digits EVERY night. it spit the tiniest hailstones all day and now we've got actual snow. it only started a little bit ago, so no real accumulation yet, but it's steady. we're supposed to get snow through Monday. salt trucks just headed up towards Top of the World and the Parkway. that is a BAD sign. they almost never bother to salt the roads out here. our farm is the first thing you hit when you come off the mountain, so when the weather gets bad like this, we end up with all those people, who hike out or get their cars stuck, at our house. if it's 14 F here right now, i would guess it's about 9 F up there. and snowing. not looking forward to any of this.

my chickies don't have heat, but they've been soldiering through nicely. lots of hay they can bed in if they want and insulated blankets over the windows. i'm going to put them to bed now before the snow gets worse and i can't get the truck into the field (again).

So how much snow did everyone get? So far we got about 2" and the chickens are not happy.

They are not doing much foraging today since everything is covered but they are out in it.

I haven't turned mine out today. Does walking in the snow not hurt their feet?
We got about an inch. Neighbor yards on both sides look like we got more than they did.
