I hear there will be a swap on Sat in Lexington, Southland Dr. near Oleika Temple. I was considering going. Would anyone be interested in a brown red cubalaya cockerel? He is a good fellow, is still getting along with the older cocks and is sensible around people and birds. He is growing the...

Let's see a show of hands - Who is ready for SPRING? Now!? Depending on where we measure we have from 12-18" of snow on the ground, mostly from Monday. I took 5 birds out of a brood pen and put them back with the flock for warmth. Heated water bowl is deployed, fresh straw in thick...

Where are there swaps in Central or Eastern Ky tomorrow?

It gets hot in the summertime at swaps. It isn't good for the birds to be out there with no shade after late morning

I'm near Clay City in Powell co. Egg production was insane up until the la.st week of June, had a bounty of eggs. Now I have a major outbreak of broodies and a minor moult happening. That turned production nearly off.

Bird math alert - TSC in Winchester has Khaki Campbell ducklings! I soooo had to restrain myself!

rngrbill, Lawrenceburg is an hour or less south of Louisville? They have a big swap on 127 at TSC

Sonderah, have you considered Seramas? They seem pretty darn broody, and are as bantam as you'll find. My 2 hens are brooding right now, first chicks due next week.

Gooseberries are susceptible to many diseases. There are better varieties now, but you might want to do a little research on soil requirements for best growth. Healthy plants resist disease better. USDA banned the growing of gooseberries in the early 1900's. They believed it was a host for...

Smarsh, I don't think that's a problem here. I have a sand floor, so the space under the bowl is totally open. Add that to the appetite of my birds for meat right now and any mouse in there is in danger. I just did chores and when I changed out the nest straw I did find one mouse. Great fun...

I use a heated dog bowl. I put it up on bricks to keep the electric part dry.

It was -8 F here on Furnace Mountain Tues night, so not very balmy. My cubalayas seem to be doing fine. They dash out of the coop/run to go visit dust baths under our house. I have 3 youngsters who were born right after Thanksgiving. Their momma has been doing just fine raising them in the...

Anyone else got a confused hen raising chicks right now? I am worried the heat lamp for their run is throwing the rest of my flock into "spring" mode

Will there be a swap in Lawrenceburg Sat. Dec.7?

Welcome aboard!

Bairo, you might try and pick up some cull game hens. This time of year the breeders are deciding who gets to stay the winter. Usually the games are high$, but you can luck out. I just had a fellow offer me 10 hens at $2-3 each here in Estill. Once you get your regular layers, the games will...

Hi there Belliot! I grew up in Lexington, now live near Red River Gorge. Our old neighborhood on the north end would have been a great place to have a flock. We had a 1/4 acre lot, and no HOA. Now we own 108 acres, it is awesome!

Any swaps coming up Sat. in central or east Ky?

I second smarsh' question - what day is poultry at the State fair? We are debating attending either Thursday or Monday.

I need to sell some cubalaya youngsters, where is the best trade next Saturday? I'm in Stanton/Irvine area of E. Ky, don't want to go much W of Lexington, willing to go as far as Paris, Shelbyville, maybe even down to London or Campton.
