Welcome. My husband's family lives in Maryville.

Hey littlechicket

I've been on both threads since I joined BYC in Nov myself, b/c I kinda live in the East/Middle as in middle-of-nowhere TN.
Anyway, this is a very nice friendly thread so welcome aboard.

Glad to hear it!  I was thinking about him today, I was going to ask you about him. 

Have you heard from the insurance Co yet? 

I was at my house in AC for the first time since the storms and was SURPRISED at the amount of trees that were down.  Not damage at my house really, I think the cable line was hanging by a thread.... but that was all I saw.   My neighbor at the top of the street had 3 HUGE trees down 2 were on his SHOP.  Just crushed the back corners.  Another neighbor had 6 trees UPROOTED in his back yard.  Fences down, carports crushed.  Too close for comfort.

We heard from 2 someone's at the insurance co. On wed. one said someone would contact us in 2 or 3 days. Then yesterday someone said once the weather cleared up in a day or two. I'm basically getting the run around. NOT HAPPY. I do have good news. I'm getting around 400 feet of 4 ft. Chainlink fence free, my buddy down the road is getting all his replaced due to damage. Only about 20 feet is really damaged. I'll sink that stuff in about 4 in. of concrete pad then put 1/2 x 1/2 hardware cloth an inch down in the concrete. Let's see a predator dig through that. Im sure i'll have some left over if anyone wants some.

Welcome littlechicklet!! You'll enjoy this thread, very informative, very fun. I like you only have a small backyard flock that we do for pure joy and of course the lovely eggs! You must have gotten a lot of snow last night and today....what do your chickens think of the snow?

Well I just got the phone call DH is on the road home from Dalton Poultry Show

He has my Heritage Buckeye Trio as planned.

He also has found 3 silkie chicks for buddies for my lone chick Jaylee
(no action at all on the chicken or duck eggs due today making it nec. to tell DH just go ahead and buy whatever chicks he could find at the show)

All birds are in carriers in the cab of the truck w/ him.

The Road in front of our house looks _really bad_ totally white, everything was wet, then we got about 1/2 inch of snow an hr ago,
so their is ice forming from the wet under the snow : (

I really wasn't envisioning dangerous driving conditions when I made these plans for him to get birds in Feb.
He is an amazingly good driver, yesterday on the way to feed store 2 semi trucks driving side by side in front of him skidded, bumped and spun out,
& he managed to avoid getting hit and pull over to check on other drivers, everyone was fine. But still, that is nerve wracking, & I'm feeling some guilty that
he is having to drive over 2 icy snowy mtns today to fetch me birds, *and he hates birds*. I'm seriously going to have to do something extra nice for him,
& that he got to have brunch at a buffet on the way to get the birds does not count anymore at this point, when the roads were fine that was his treat,
now that he is driving over 80 miles & 2 mtns in extreemly dangerous conditions I really owe him big time! ...
