YO GEORGIANS! :)

I was worried about the Light Bramha eggs. I bet they came from the one my rooster seems to be unable to mate. (I might have to trim her rump ) BUT I'm really excited about all the rest

I will be hatching some March 12th, but there is a guy in Newnan who always posts his Marans. If you want chicks, I will have some. If you want a breeding pair, contact Jennifer Bittner in Newnan. (find her post for hatching eggs)

I'm curious about how you guys name your chickens.
Is there a theme or special way that you go about naming your chickens?
For me, I give all my roosters "people" names. For instance, I have Eugene; he's my retiring Welsummer. His replacement is Stephon.
My Welbar rooster is "Skeeter-Wayne"; which is a very southern people name for those of you who have drifted to the south from some other place.
I don't normally name the hens; I guess there are more of them and I couldn't remember all the names.

Same here. I only name the roosters because they hang around the longest. The BIG delaware is named Chantecleer from the cartoon movie. His offspring is called Junior. His offspring doesn't have a name yet.
The EE roster is called Grandpaw because he is the oldest.
The BCM rooster is called Frenchie because he has feathered feet. The other BCM doesn't have a name yet either.

Although I did name one of the hens. She's a BCM that lays blue eggs. I call her, ready for it...... Blue.

Trying to find some Golden Comet, red star, golden buff (they've got a bunch of names) chicks near Kennesaw-Acworth.

Welcome aboard Lynn. Usually Tractor Supply or a feed store near you will carry some of the sex link chickens.

I name my roos by how they act, and I name some of my hen's some are really friendly etc and easy to remember who they are

Hello everyone. I'm back from Texas safe and sound.....although, I'm tired. Saw my mom and 4 sisters and a niece! We had great fun talking about when we were young. But, even though my sister lives in a small town, and she took us on a tour around town, I didn't see one chicken or coop or anything! I mean this is a really really rural town! I don't think I would ever be happy living without chickens!

Hey Gunner86, I went to the Poultry show in Newnan, too. Got hatching eggs and 3 Swedish Flowers chicks. I let the lady grab 3 out of the bin, and of course, it looks like I got 2 roos and 1 hen....only 10 days old, so just guessing, but it seems really obvious to me!

Got 13 eggs left under 2 broodies. They are due Wednesday. Won't be surprised if they start hatching out tomorrow!

I have 85 eggs left in the incubators. They are due March 12th. Lady Who, 2 from your LU - light brahmas weren't fertile. The others look good! The little bantam cochin you got from that guy is fertile, too! If it hatches, it just might show up at your coop one day!

I don't think the hookbill duck egg from the show is growing. I'm gonna recheck it in a few days.

Well, once again, no good deed goes unpunished. I had a guy call and want me to hold the Blue Partridge Brahma roo I had listed on Craigslist for next week. So I took it off the listing. He called me today and said they decided to hatch their own BPB eggs and so they didn't want the rooster......#@%^! So, I will be relisting him! Anyone interested?

Well, since I just got back in town, and the renters just left this morning.......I have tons to do!

Oh yeah, I would like a t-shirt or two. Queensboro does all our shirts if you don't have anyone to make them for you.

Welcome back
