The Middle Tennessee Thread

[wademach1977]

I put a post on the tennessee forum and someone told me about the Middle Tennesse forum.

wademach1977 we have lots of fun over here on this board
The MF Cochin pullets are spoken for but one of my ladies has begun to visit the nest box again

the other two only visit the feeder

I am so excited about the silkies I am picking up from Newnan that I had to put their pictures up.

Hen from Sunshine Silkies--- thank you so much Vickie

Roo from Signature Farm--- thank you just as much Aimee

Congrats! That's some cute fluff edited to add
after looking twice are you sure the whole chicken is in there...it seems to be missing some eyes

Hey Jen I can't find anything on the bantam show..Megan may want to take her new one's down

Alright, as much as I loooooove the blue mottleds, I must restrain myself. Must! Although I would take just the blue mottled girl if she was available alone

I have no more room for "extra boys" and am only breeding straight mottleds these days. I already have my extra "weird" blue guy....I am going to cross him to my overly mottled black girl this spring just to see what happens

Morning all! Luckily our weather folks were off on the forecast here in Mid-TN - - we got no overnight sleet/snow, and it is only down to freezing, not 25. All in all a good morning, I'd say!

wademach1977, welcome! Tennessee is such a loooong state, and there are so many forum conversations going on - - some of which were location-related - - that we decided to split the Tennessee threads so everyone could get a chance to chat. Our Mid-TN folks got together recently for lunch in Murfreesboro, and we are sure to have more lunches, swaps, etc. in the future. We can talk chickens FOREVER!!! If you already have chickens, we can help show you how to post photos here so we can all admire your birds.

Ohhhh emmalynn, your new silkies are gorgeous!!!! They don't even look real - - they look like fluffy white angels! Congratulations!

Holly, it's strange that there's so little on what is supposed to be a huge show this year (Dalton March double show). I will try to find the original links for the info, and if needed I'll call the show organizers just to be sure.


Hey Nella, I think you have a red-shouldered splash bantam cochin roo! I sure love that color. CityGirl had a standard size EE boy in that color, and I had a mini guy with the same markings. I'll bet he'll throw some nice splash offspring with the right lady. If I didn't have so many danged roosters over here I'd take him myself.

I found a pic of my red-shouldered splash bantam. (Unfortunately his nice beard was picked clean by his Number One Wife.) Anyhoo, here he is preparing to deal some Old Testament justice on me for pointing the camera at him:

Rufio, March 2010

(Holly, this is the grand-dad of some of your Remy chicks.)

I just love that combination of red with blue splash!

Megan will sell the pullet alone..the cochin's are hers.Everyone likes this roo so who knows where he may end up. I know all about restraint.Now we are turning my 4 breeding pens into an entire brooder house I'm going to be real short on space this year.Now I have to add 2 more bantam quarters for these new cochin's Megan just bought. Have a feeling several birds will be for sale here soon

 

[Jenski]

Naw girl, you just need to BUILD MORE COOPS!!!

 

[HBuehler]

I agree

but I have promised to try and behave this year some I'm not increasing breeds or colors until I have pens for everyone when I want them even if they are free ranging most of the time.So glad Lucy is black so I didn't break my rule with this black pair..I already have black!! When these new bantams get here you will have to come over and see them

it will be a few weeks with this wonderful weather we have in store.

Jenski, those markings are pretty much the same as on my little guy. I think he wants to go live with you. What if I throw in a rabbit for free? Hmmmmmmmm?

Alrighty Holly, you going to see Amy any time soon? LOL. She is our official chicken swapper.
