The Middle Tennessee Thread

[Ravynscroft]

Do you know of anyone east of Nashville who has Lavs and Black splits? I have a project cockerel I need to find a home for....he's a hookless-feathered Am, black split, but he has red/gold leakage on him. I have several hatch mates, but I'm not real sure what they all are. They are about 20 weeks old. I know I have at least 2 cockerels---one lav and one black split. They need to be crossed back to smooth-feathered Ams occaisionally for vigor.

I will be looking for a couple high-quality black pullets in the spring to put in with the Lavender silkied cockerel.

They are strange birds....

Are those thespoiledchicken's Silkied? I thought about getting some of those, but decided I have too many projects already, lol...

East of Nash how far? I believe dstokely is around Knoxville area and has Lav/Splits...

Yes! They came from thespoiledchicken! I was really happy with them. She sent me 15 eggs and 11 hatched.

I accidentally killed one after hatch. Then, I gave them to a broody to raise. When she abandoned them suddenly at about four weeks, I lost one that day. I think it wandered away (we live in the woods). Then one jumped into a water bucket and drowned and a coyote got another one. I have seven left---three lavender and four black split...

They don't really mingle much with my other chickens. Here is a pic of a few of them:

They are adorable! And sounds like you had similar issues as I did when I hatched out my first Ohiki, lol... it's always the ones we want most that we have the most messed up string of issues with, eh?

Hello, we've recently relocated to middle Tennessee from Florida. We have Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons, and a Blue Orpington roo that I'm trying to hatch out some girls for.

I have a beautiful 6 month old rooster, for free to a good home. He's very sweet and not aggressive. I'd love to keep him, but I live in the city.

He's gorgeous. I'm sure you'll find a home for him. We'd take him, but already have a rooster for our small flock. We live in the city and have a no-crow collar. It works really well!

I already found him a home, thanks! I've wondered if those collars work, now I know!
