howdy neighbor! I say Roanoke or Roanoke co, but I'm closer to downtown blackburg than I am from my own post office!

Hello! It's great to find people close by on here. Especially since I'm so new to raising chickens.

Just had to share some pics I got tonight of my little friendly buff. Really hoping for a female.
He/she is an absolute cuddlebug once I get her away from the brooder and her buddies. This one is the only one out of all 24 that willingly runs to my hand and hops up into it everytime I put it in the brooder. She loves her scritches

This type of behavior in chicks is generally more indicative of a cockerel than a pullet. Pullets tend to scatter like cockroaches when the lights come on until they get much older.

it depends on the breed IMO... my sfh are all the total opposite of cockroaches LOL I get anywhere near the brooder they are pushing and shoving to be the first to get to me. so far only 1 is an identifiable cockerel.

Thats what I've been reading. It just acts much differently than the other males that were pretty sure we have. Time will tell. Regardless, it'll be staying haha.

Really?! I'll definitely stop by! I've been looking for swaps in the area. I've never even been to a swap so it'll be good to what its even like.

well the 2 I regularly go to are the one in c'burg on the first Saturday and Roanoke's on the 3rd Saturday. usually starting around 8 and getting done by noon, but that varies. I try to plan to be there by 8, usually it's closer to 9 LOL

I think it's like everyone that is selling pulls their trucks (or whatever they're using to sell) up in a designated row, and the buyers will park elsewhere and walk through the aisle.

So you will be there at 8-9?, I really want to see another user on here, please don't think i'm a stalker, I just think it would be neat to see some other users

I'll ask again, what will you be selling?
