I need to know if anyone has a vet they use close to Franklin.....I am sooooooo tired of my girls flying over the run, and this winter I'm afraid they might get really cold if they do that and can't get back in. I want to get their wings clipped for the winter and I"m afraid to do it like I'm afraid to clip my dogs nails.....LOL..... I've watched the videos but would still rather have someone show me on one of them first and then I'll try it......thanks.

I wouldnt spend money to get them clipped. It doesnt hurt them. your not clipping flesh, just feathers.

Hey Donna will you take a look at these eggs and tell me if the ones on the left are SBEL's or Olive eggers

. Also i think my SLW is laying, her eggs would be the ones in the very back on the right. I finally have 5 laying only one more to go

. My Marans pullet just started laying about a week & a half ago but her eggs are the largest ones i'm getting.

I think i've got a pretty nice basket of eggs there. Thanks again.

Congrats! And those in the back look like Wyandotte eggs.

The vet we use for our other animals is "Animal Health Center" on Eddy Lane in Franklin - just a block or two down from the Co-Op. I've never taken any chickens to them, though. So I don't know if they work with chickens or not. Dr. Woody there has been our veterinarian for 20+ years.

Looks like she was an Olive Egger. I had a white Olive Egger hen so it is possible. Nice egg basket you got there..... I got your nipples....

Thanks Carol I call and check. My vet Dr Butler said he never did chickens and recommended a vet out by the airport....pretty far away.

Still makes me nervous....the video said if I cut too far up it would bleed...I could not handle that....yes, I'm a wuss.

I'm actually in Franklin but closer to Green Hills than Franklin itself.....I think it took me about 45 minutes to get to your house when I got the copper blue maran from you....
