The Middle Tennessee Thread

[JessicaDotta]

Alright, Jenski! Here you go! I started us a thread.

It was delightful to meet all of you today! What a fun group of BYCers we have here in middle TN!

Jen and I decided that we had all kind of hijacked the TN thread from the east TN folks. So here we have our own thread. So, go. Talk amongst yourselves...

I'm replying, so I can stay tuned to this thread. I'm Middle TN

Hi! I'm a brand new chicken mama from the Dale Hollow Lake area I'm starting from scratch with 6: 1 white-laced black polish, 1 Delaware, 2 Amberlinks & 2 Welsummers. I adopted my girls (and possible guy) 2 weeks ago, today. They will be 3 weeks old on Sunday and I'm hoping to have them in the coop/run by next weekend, as they're already able to escape their brooder. I feel so guilty laying chicken fence over the top...I feel like they're being punished

Hi and welcome... You have to contain them or they'll hurt themselves.

Lol welcome to chicken living .I would think better confined than confirmed dead.

Where did you get your chicks from .Were they sexed ? Seems like I always end up with more males than females buying straight run chicks .

Hello! Anyone need any pigeons? I am selling a colorful bunch of birds. These aren't my best blood. They are not for racing, but would be great for pets or tosses under 100 miles. Asking $10 each.

I got them at TSC. My original plan was to purchase through a hatchery, but the hubby kinda threw a wrench in that plan for this year. Luckily, Ol' Peabody (the WLBP) was the last of the 'straight run' bunch. All the other girls were labeled as such. I'm not sorry that my plans were thwarted. These kids are awesome!

 

[nchls school]

Anyone near Lexington, TN that has Standard Bronze Turkeys? I'm looking for a dozen hatching eggs. I have Midget White and would be willing to swap eggs, or just buy. I also have muscovys, call ducks- phoenix, d'Uccle, cochin and serama bantams. I'm also looking for someone that has fancy pigeons of any breed, but would like tumpeters or Indian fantails.
