YO GEORGIANS! :)

[eclecktic1]

Welcome, Jack. I'm from Union County. We have a few Fannin County folk active on here too. We may end up with a really north north Georgia gang on here.

Just joined. We live in Rabun Co half way up a mountain overlooking Warwoman Creek. Going up to Franklin, NC tomorrow to look at our first group of pullets. I finished the coop and run today. Jack

Welcome to the flock, Jack. Good luck with the new pullets.

Hey everyone! No baby goats yet! Can't be long now!

Was cleaning out the White Crested Duck pin and low and behold I heard a quack! That means at least one of the four I got is a girl! They are 3 weeks old now!

Welcome Jack! I am in Dawson County. Still a distance from you, but considered North Georgia! And, I have baby chicks for sale.....all sexed as Pullets!

Hi everyone! Now that spring has sprung the rest of the birds I have want to be broody. In order to maintain a small flock of silkies of good quality how do you tell the.keepers from the pets at chick stage or do you just have to let silkies grow out? I need a good source of advertising' to sell the pet quality chicks here in So. GA. Guess I also need to get NPIP certified. Does NPIP have a certain land amount for chickens? Thanks for your help.

Welcome, Jen! Whereabouts are you? I am in Union County, near the NC border. Tell us about your flock.

Rocky, Mylied--how are your hatches?

Dumb forum and it's dumb not informing me of updates. I'm soooo behind. I only got 8 to hatch. I really suck at incubating. A bunch died early on and I think 4 died at the very end before hatching. One broke out of the shell and busted a vein on the belly button and bled out. I tried to stop the bleeding, but it wouldn't stop. So, pretty depressing. The 8 that hatched are pretty cute. Unluckily, the three cream legbars are all males. ~ I'm going to see if I can sell them for a dollar or two a piece. Maybe someone wants a roo. The two ducklings (only ones that were fertile, so obvs having a fertility issue with my drake) are in lockdown. One is internally pipped.

No land amount. They just test your chickens. Don't seem to care how you keep them.

Not to make you jealous, @Flowerbh , but here are all my babies: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/goats-are-in-labor.1228510/#post-19705182 I have 6 baby goats, 6 piglets, and 8 chicks so far. One more pig and two duck eggs to go. I was going crazy with the goats. I didn't have a date and it felt like they took forever to finally kid.

No groundwork either. Just call and set up an appointment. They come and prick your birds. Then you pay for the testing and sign some paperwork. They then send your results, another paper to sign, and your certificate.
