The Middle Tennessee Thread

I made a list of what I want to add to my flock: cream legbar, maybe cuckoo maran, wellsummer, and some kind of laced wyandottes, ameracauna, and maybe some super blue egg layers.

Brandyjk-
Do you sell eggs from the wellies? I've been hunting some, but I have my bator running already. I'm only on day 3, but I could use some around the 3rd week of March.

These are my new babies from shipped eggs. I don't have any old enough to lay yet. I keep wanting to hatch eggs though and I know I can't keep them all lol!
 
Who has Barnies? I have someone coming up from FL tomorrow and they are looking for a couple of Cockerels. I know of only a couple of people that have them around here. I know I will not be contacting one of them.
 
WANT TO MAKE MOVE FROM FLORIDA TO TENNESSEE WITH MY ROOSTER LUCKY AND HIS GIRLFRIEND SOPHIE.

Not sure where to put this post on this site, but this looks like a good place:

Looking for small "farmy"-type house/small cottage to rent in the Murfreesboro area that has pretty private land for a coop.

I live in Fort Lauderdale and can't take the tropical heat any longer. We barely had a winter here. Also tired of the crowded roads/tourists/tropical storms. My new joke is: South Florida has only 2 seasons: Tourist & Hurricane.

I know it's gets cold in TN but I grew up in CT. I know most people would kill to live in Florida but after 30 years, I'm over it.

I mentioned a "farmy"-type living space because I have a rooster and one, maybe 2 hens that will be joining me.

I should probably give you a bit of history as to why I have a rooster:

Over 4 years ago, I rescued 2 baby chicks from being live snake food and the rest as they say is history. Those chicks both turned out to be roosters, who unfortunately have passed away.

But I have Lucky my rooster, who was rescued after his whole family was killed by a predator. I sort-of became his Mother from day one. He is now 3 1/2 years old.

Probably only a die-hard animal lover would understand why I would save a "food-animal" and care for him. But Lucky is cool, he knows his name, comes when called(most of the time). I put him up to roost every night. Some nights he lowers his comb to touch my forehead. It's pretty cool. I pet him like one would a cat and he relaxes and goes to sleep.

Other times I carry him around and he falls asleep in my arms. A photo of me and Lucky was voted on and chosen for a Chicken Rescue Calendar in 2012(we were March). I've also been interviewed by a public radio station about my experiences with Lucky and raising him.

We may be featured in a pet magazine, just waiting for that to come together.


I call Lucky the "thousand dollar" rooster because I've spent that much or more for his upkeep/vet bills,etc.(He has continuous bumblefoot).

Soooo, I'm just looking for a small place for myself that has enough land for a coop where houses are not on top of one another like here in Fort Lauderdale.

I'm 52 years old, don't smoke/drink, do drugs, have good credit and can provide references as I have rented my whole life and am proud to say, I have not been late with the rent, not once! My income travels with me. I have also done dogsitting and housesitting for people. I'm just looking to move into a cooler, more rural atmosphere. Maybe where I can even have a small garden and grow my own vegetables.

If you have something like what I mentioned available, fantastic! If you don't but know someone who might, please forward this ad along to them. Or maybe even guide me as to where I can look for such a residence. Googling and Craigslist have not been very successful.


I mention the Murfreesboro area because I have a friend in Clarksville and one in Smithville so I would be kind-of in the middle of them. Also don't want to drive really,really far to get to a store(I love my Walgreens) or to the gym(52 years old and I can still "pop" my pecs! LOL!.

I'm also open to a "rent-to-own" if I felt the place was perfect for me. Also open to leasing a small closed-down nursery. My Lucky is in a place now that was once a nursery. So it is convenient with screened-in areas, etc. And also it is zoned commercial so they don't have animal complaints.


Any help, anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.
Michael
