Okay I'll get the hang of this in a minute. For the moment ill claim this flu I've been down with for a week as my excuse for not remembering how to reply. Gwinnett county here checking in cold and wet. The pastures are laid over with water, the dogs have a mud slick going out back and my Great White North hubby hopes he'll get to see some white stuff.

Gwinnett County and new to all of this.

Welcome OohLaLa!

I moved from Gwinnett County 3 years ago, after living there for about 12 years. Still have family there, so I visit occasionally. BYC is a great place for info, resources and friends.

New egg from Georgia here!

I'm in Lagrange, thirty minutes south of Newnan, less than an hour from Atlanta! I'm looking for a few buff Orpingtons or sex links of any variety if anyone has a good lead!

i have a friend on FB that is selling some breeding pairs that will produce sexlinks if you're interested. she's listed as Flights of Fancy Farm, located in Canton.

\\\never ready for snow and ice on a 20 acre farm with about 300 animals to feed but as ready as we can be, yes we full time farm, spent yesterday trying to get animals out of too much wet. It's a job, we need the rain but oh how mucky! Two baby goats in the house, because they cannot be outside, the baby area is a total mud bath, it would be a pneumonia experience and I don't mind inside but in a few days they will jumpout of their baby crib and run wild, then I mind... It means cahnging their crib linen about 3 x a day.. Okay baby bunnies due momentarialy, iced water bottles due to to be thawed throughout the day in bunny area. Hoping it will not be neceesary to tote 200 gallons of warm water a day as we did in 2010... Okay where's my positive attitude. A little snow, ice okay but really, not too much, the degree of difficulty for a two person farm is enormous...............Any volunteers want to camp over and help. We have plenty of food and feed volunteers well, but it will be operation Challenge!!!! Things I do in this level of rain, snow, muck, boot sticks in mud, face forward fall, oh yea.... my fav is feeding of ducks and full slide - seated toward the duck pond. Don't need to tell you how good I felt after that experience. i don't need thrill rides at a fair or 6 flags... I got plenty here. Come on over for the fun...Seriously! and y'all if you don't already, we have a facebook page - The Garry Farm and also a little blog thing going on..... http://thegarryfarm.blogspot.com feel free to drop by over there from time to time...Now have a graet day. Time to heat the baby goat bottles and psych up for the day. Actually I prefer to think of these days as physical/psychological/spiritual/emotional character builders.....Oh yeah that's oh my yellow stick on my glasses when I fall down...LOL...Now hope y'all and we have a great day and a safe one too!

OMG what a precious picture! i'm so envious - i think....lol anyway, i would've have come help if i weren't down still with the creeping crud. thank goodness we didn't really get any. but hopefully will see you soon.

Me running around like a chicken with my head cut off is pretty accurate lol ! Which reminds me-at the last show there was a huge sign on the building that listed what the snack bar sold. The first thing listed in big letters was chicken fingers. I told my chickens that that was where the chickens went that didn't behave.

BRUHAHAHAHA

Definitely burrrrrr up here compared to Ga, cinders ..heading down for a visit soon...I will be warm for a little lol gonna something while I am down

Are you coming down for a show perhaps??? Where in GA are you visiting? Would love to meet up.

Hey there! We are so happy you have joined out thread. We almost lived in Lagrange...canidated for a church there but it wasn't God's will so we got a church in Snellville. Any way, welcome and like someone has already posted come to the Newnan show and meet some of us. I am going. Also there is a show this weekend in Jefferson, GA for any one thinking about coming. Hope you can.

Then I'll be there! Well, as long as this baby boy I'm toting around will wait until then to come along.

Gwinnett County and new to all of this.

Oohlala I love that name. Welcome to our own Georgia thread. I would recommend, if you don't already have plans, to attend the Jefferson, GA show tomorrow. You will learn a lot by just observing other chicken people. You can strike up some conversations and get to know some other locals too. I'm going so let me know if you are and we can arrange to meet. Again, welcome.

 

[cindersga]

everyone ready for snow?

Not really! If I didn't have chickens...YES but, with the chickens it's such a mess. All day yesterday they were not allowed to free range and they were miserable. I'm so glad the sun came out today so they could stretch their legs and wings. Being cooped up means having to change their shavings more often too.

Marietta, GA born and raised

A native!!! Whoot Whoot. So JacquiJ will you be coming to tomorrows show in Jefferson, GA or next month's show in Newnan? Would love to meet up with all our Georgians. What kind of Chickie's do you have at your house.

It's supposed to snow here in Midwest Ga tomorrow too! Woohooo! We had a good heavy snow two years ago, but last year didn't see much. I just like the change of scenery every now and then

I like the beauty of the all white look too. It's just really hard with all this rain. I'm hearing my chicken's starting to sneeze and that scares me. Time to medicate, yikes!

You take care of yourself sweetie. That's a lot to do for just two. I sure hope the weather for driving tomorrow to Jefferson isn't bad. That would stink! Your babies are so cute. You have your hands full. Blessings and God's strength for you to complete the tasks you have.

Leaving for the Jefferson show tomorrow. I see they are supposed to get snow tonight too ! Hope it doesn't stick around. I'm from further south and not experienced in driving in it. If you see a red Ford Taurus stuffed full of chickens spinning around in the road near Jefferson, that will be me !

You're leaving today? Do you take your chickens into the hotel rooms

I mean it's so cold at night for them to stay in the car right? Can't wait to meet you and your partner in crime...drive as safely as you can, hahaha but mostly be alert for the other guy who maybe an idiot on the road

snow nasty four letter word!! lol

Okay I'll get the hang of this in a minute. For the moment ill claim this flu I've been down with for a week as my excuse for not remembering how to reply.

Hope you get to feeling better. It ran through our house during Christmas, what joy! Wish you felt better. Stay rested up
