YO GEORGIANS! :)

I have to admit, I'm loving these auction threads - but not for the buying!

I just noticed someone got all excited for winning a $45 auction for wheaten/blue wheaten ameraucanas...

And the seller has an actual post elsewhere on the same forum, selling them without an auction for $40 per dozen.


I can't wait until I finish this one order and then post a dozen Sumatra eggs on there...

I used to drive through there all the time. It's better than Swainsboro, at least!


Although I was going to say "apparently he lives close enough to Savannah to have gotten himself buried up to his neck in sand"

Lol. Ever been to Nahunta? Talk about small town. I kinda liked it down there though

Drove through. Blinked, and almost missed it.

Once you pass the flasfoods and the caution light, you're done! Lol!
Seriously though, it was kind of nice when I was there.

@abmaddox1981 , just checked the chicken color calculator on those BLRW eggs. If Lemon Pepper is indeed a splash-laced red, and General Tso is (obviously) a BLRW, then all they have the possibility of producing is blue and splash-laced red wyandottes! There's no chance for black-laced red, which is possible when you cross BLRW with BLRW. So by her being splash-laced, I won't get the BORING color, lol!

Yeah the boro aint so bad. Honestly if we had a decent grocery store it would improve things alot. A kroger or a publix. All we have are harveys, walmart, and bilo.

Got a question for all of you- how did you come to start raising chickens? Did you grow up with chickens on the farm ?
I grew up with them on the farm (grandparents had chickens). Moved to a not so big city but parents didn't have anything other than a dog and cat. I moved last year and where I was moving from, a lady had left her chickens. The other neighbor was going to kill them so I rescued them. We moved them to  the 15 acres we had just bought and I fell in love with that morning crow and how friendly a chicken can be! It has become an addiction but one that I gladly admit I have! I already have 3 coops/runs and I am in the process of building 7 breeding pens  that I hope to have full within the month!

I grew up with them on the farm and raised them in the 4H Club. I left the farm years ago. My granddaughter wanted some last year and the time was right and that was the nudge it took. We have 12 adults and 7 month old chicks.

I always wanted enough land to do some light farming. I haven't got the land yet, but I figured 3/4 of an acre could hold a few chickens. Mainly I need to stay busy and this is just one thing I thought would be cool. I can sell the eggs to coworkers and have a few lower maintenance pets that contribute more than just pooping in the yard and licking me in the face.

What did Robo do now?  :yiipchick

I was responding to a comment about him never being able to wait always in a hurry. Nothing negative meant. I have a house full of them. I call them Grand children.
