The Middle Tennessee Thread

[lemuckley_flock]

Hi all! Newbie, wanted to say hi! I'm in Murfreesboro, we've finally decided to take the plunge and get chickens! We've got 8 chicks, about two weeks old, and I'm terrified that we're going to be overrun with poultry in no time at all, we're hooked already.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi! There are a bunch of BYCers in and around Murfreesboro. YAY!
Every so often we try to do a local meet up. You should come play with us. This lot is crazy fun!

Holly if you go to Foley's you could bring me back a couple of Magpie Calls maybe they have some off color or miss marked one I have a hen that lost her mate and she is lonely

Holly, he a beautiful roo and a great boy. It breaks my heart to give him away, but his poor feet are so sad. I'm hoping someone can help him out. He's from the Gardner line and is such a good boy. I have worked and worked on him and he clearly needs the foot surgery.

Can you meet up this Friday? I'm pretty free all day at this point. Next week I only have Monday evening free. That may be too late for you with the school kids. Just let me know. I'll hold her for you. Thanks for adding the Thin Mints to my pile.

Hello neighbor!! Just started chickens myself and have learned so much from BYC! But beware of the chicken math - it'll get you everytime.

Raven..I have already asked for someone else..he has nothing for sale now but I will be going back up later in the Summer or fall when he will have some...I'll take orders for them before I go

Jerry and his wife are so nice I just keep going back and back....ok the birds are pretty darn good as well. This time I'm bringing home some more BLRW, Partridge and Blue Wyandotte chicks and a BLRW Roo for my second guy..since my main guy was dinner in Dec...darn hawk

City Girl Friday works for me I'm more free this week than next..I'm taking appointments next week for home time

lemuckley_flock Your in trouble now..you are in with us

we will give you an accelerated lesson in chicken math before you know it.Troyerchicks has a real good start on chicken math...I had nothing to do with that

Well my chicks are officially lost in the mail..never loose hatchery birds in the mail never but they can loose the expensive one's no problem.No worries they know they will be here tomorrow morning...how do they know that when they don't know where they are

my little babies in a dark box another night..and it's only 12.Thank goodness I had them put in a heat pack so hopefully they won't be too cold.

Jenski I am sorry I was so overwhelmed by so many chickens I don't remember....and it doesn't say on the paper i have

well I am happy to say 8 days without smoking a cigarette!!! SO awesome to say that

My silkies are in lockdown

I moved my lav ameraucanas to my LG and the stupid thing temp is going crazy UGH.....they go into lockdown next week.....more babies coming

HeHe... 1newegg has been sucked in to the madness...

Congrats on the 8 days. It's a hard thing to do. On the plus side, you now have more money to spend on chickens.

I reached into the nest box where my winter chicks are living with 2 Ameraucana hens and got their eggs out but surprise I pulled out a blue as can be pullet egg..This pullet is a half leghorn half Ameraucana straight as an arrow comb black legs and clean face...not one Ameraucana trait even shaped like Legs So,if all of those EE posts are correct and I know they are not then I have or have had all the 3% straight comb colored layers around.
Funny...she's been for sale and no one has paid her a moments notice...tough luck she's staying here now
