Anyone have any Speckled Sussex for sale? (now or in the future). I would love some chicks but we could take pullets, or hens. (maybe even a trio with a roo). We live in North Alabama but can drive as far as Birmingham.

Chickens make a great excuse!!!!

I have a dual purpose flock for that reason: eggs and table. Come Spring time I will be looking for some Barred Rock hens, pullets, chicks or eggs....Perhaps we can talk in a couple of months. I am a little north of you but that might be a good excuse to go to the beach....

Does anyone in Alabama raise Barred Rocks (or any of the Rocks)? I will be looking for some come spring time. I would prefer to get from a breeder rather than a hatchery.

If your chickens have shelter from the wind and rain I don't think you can get too cold here in the deep south for healthy adult chickens. ;) That is not to say you shouldn't prepare for cold weather.

Mine LOVE Cold watermelon in the summer. I have also used the frozen milk jugs during extreme heat.

I provide plenty of shade, cool dirt to dust bath in and plenty of water like the others said. In the summer they all retreat under the trees where there is plenty of shade. I have yet to lose one to heat even here in the deep south of Alabama. I also have coops that open up with lots...

Thanks for sharing the news! I am happy to hear that!

At least my horses mostly have the sense to come in out of the rain. (well maybe the pony doesn't but the old ones do). Of course nothing like a fresh flake of hay and the feed bucket to encourage them in out of the rain. I once knew a horse that would stick out his tongue to catch rain...

Mine as well... but I gave them fresh strawberry tops so I think I am forgiven...

Any idea where? flea market, commercial operation???? That is too darn close for comfort here.

It is my understanding that we are on a stop movement and that birds were not to be moved but then I was at Tractor Supply today and they were selling chicks. I personally will not let anything on my property right now, especially since I already have birds. I was hoping to move a few birds...

I understand. My biggest stressor is that I have an African Gray that I have had for almost 35 years. I don't want to risk him at all. He is inside, away from the chickens, and we wash hands after coming in from the barn. Add to that that my children both have a beloved chicken. I can't...

Welcome from my neck of the woods. You are spitting distance from me, near Hartselle.

Any one have information on what happens if it comes to your area? I have a small closed flock (not bringing anything in) but I live close to some chicken houses (not mine). MY concern is if one of them gets tagged, what will it do to my flock. I also have an inside bird and do not want to...

I have 2 black silkie roosters in North Alabama that are in need of good homes. They are brothers who are together.

wow, bet she's walking bowlegged. That's omelet sized.

We are cold but the roads are fine around North Alabama. I hate schlepping water in winter so I splurged by buying a big heated watering bucket. I plug it in only when it is cold for more than a day and then I alternate my chicken waters which float in it, and thaw. I simply go out in the...

I have a pair of pair of silkies (black rooster and pullet)

I used to live in Rockmart, GA a LOOONG time ago. great place. Is it still very tiny or has it grown up like the rest of the Atlanta area?
