There is no such thing as too many chickens. Your problem is not enough coops!

Got my own home...get chickens!! I'M up to 40..hatched most of them myself....i had so much fun raising chicks this summer. I now have cemanis, malaysian seramas, blue/gold partridge brahmas and RIRs/orpingtons(eggs).

The Carroll county fair is in Hillsville, VA. Near Galax. I won't be showing since I'm NPIP and can't intermingle my birds with non-NPIP. But I might come and watch the chicken (and rabbit, I believe they're on the same day) shows.

Same thing here, parents needed help so we moved from TN back to FL. Had to sell hundreds of chickens, all my goats, rabbits, quail, and pigs. It was an awful time, not only did i miss my critters, my Dad died and then my Aunt.
Now all that is settled, we are in VA and i have three Americaunas and 13 guineas, two rabbits. Plus i have chicks in shipment right now! Polish and Speckled Sussex. Check out my thread, Helpful hints for coop building and you will see my coop building process.

What part of virginia? We are up in abingdon..not far from Tenn. Tiny little town..we love it here. Only thing i took w me to california was my 2 horses. I have one that is now 29..had him for 25yrs.no such thing as land/pasture in CA unless ur a millionaire! What we paid in board was equivalent to a mortgage payment. I have a few cemanis I'm looking to rehome. I also just hatched 10 blue gold partridge brahmas and I will be selling off a bunch of those. I have seramas, bramahs, cemanis and RIR layers. I hatched most of my chicks this year after a bad expirence shipping chicks. I won't do that again..poor things..i had a bunch come in dead/dying due to mishandling by airlines. I had intentions of raising some and shipping until that happened. Now i can't bring myself to ship any. Small towns have disadvantages!

The Carroll County Fair is in Woodlawn that is between Galax and Hillsville.
There is a big turn out but If I were to enter anything I would have to sell it or put it in Guarantine for a month. Not worth it to me.
Too much hassle going back and forth and so on.

We are near Gretna, which is not too far from Altavista and Danville. Yes, small towns have disadvantages but i dislike city living. Enjoying building my coop!

Hey fellow virginians..im up in abingdon area..still got some gorgeous blue/ gold partridge brahma chicks and ayam cemami youngsters available..both are GFFs lines and hard to find! The bramahs will be Large w/feathered feet. Cemanis are about the size of my RIRs. All hatched here and handled..both are very tuff/hardy breeds. I also have a few cemanis that are "culls". They have gold feather leakage..looking
To re-home a pair, hen/roo. The roo/hen are both very friendly and follow me/hang out while I work outside. They are almost 4mo. Old...they would be great pets.send me an email if interested.
