Ok East Tennessee Chicken Community, I need some help. I'm the parent volunteer for the Blount County Poultry Project. I've got several kids that have lost nearly all of their project birds and may not have anything left after our annual show/sale. I'm trying to find folks that have RIR, BR...

This is for everyone having hawk problems..... If you don't have bird feeders up around your yard, you need to get some. The most effective anti-hawk machine is a bunch of Blue Jays or Mocking Birds. I have hawks flying over my place quite often and as soon as they dip too low for comfort, a...

Quote: Depending on what it is, there may be no chance of "hauling it off"; Unless you drive it to Andrews or somewhere over the mountain. We had a raccoon problem twice. First time we released her about five miles from the barn, second time I skinned her and left the hide on the back fence...

Quote: If I remember correctly, I think NellaBean has had some Cochins for sale for a while. That's where I'd start.

Quote: When you go for the judging on Monday, do me a favor; see if the judges have the birds brought to them or if they go from cage to cage. Friday's rabbit judging was all done at the front of the barn with two assistants retrieving the rabbits so the judge didn't know which cage they were...

Quote: Any chance Backyard Poultry is on her magazine list...it's the only periodical I subscribe to.

Anyone else going to Delano this weekend?

The only thing worse then carrying the birds upside down is bending their wings back behind their bodies. I saw a few Hispanic folks doing it at the last swap and I asked a guy I work with about it. He said there is no better indicator of a cock fighter than to see someone using that technique...

Quote: He's a young guy with a scruffy beard/goatee. He wears glasses and a baseball cap...I believe he was in a sleeveless T-shirt and shorts that day with a young teenage boy running around with him.

Quote: That's Hank. Poor thing has been despirate to sell alot of his birds for awhile. I don't know if I will attend, but if you go... let us in on the details when you get back! ....poor Hank, I don't think he's ever owned a single bird for more than two weeks. I bought/stole a very nice...

Quote: It's at the Co-op on Hwy 95 between 411 and metropolitan Greenback.

Does anyone know what time the Greenback sale is supposed to start tomorrow morning? I'm assuming 0600 or 0700, like the swaps in Monroe County, but I don't want to be the only one setting in the parking lot at dawn.

Quote: I'm planning on being there to pick up some "banties" for an elderly couple in Walland. I'm waiting to hear from them on how many they're wanting...I may PM/email you later this evening or tomorrow if they're interested in cochins or d'uccles.

Quote: We placed third in the state....pretty good considering there are were over 80 leagues from nine districts represented. On the down side, I couldn't figure out why no one would reply to my requests for things to do in Columbia until I got there. They weren't ignoring me, there just...

Quote: I will be at the Jefferson county chick chain show and sell this sat.Barred Rocks there also.Lou What's a chick chain show? Chick Chain is the program that allows 4H students to pay a small deposit and obtain 12 or 25 1-day-old pullets (breed is determined by the local Ag Extension...

Quote: I'm taking my daughter who's going into the 3rd grade. The Blount county extension office is going to let her do a poultry project a year earlier then usual, so we're going to see what to expect next year.

Quote: OK, either no one in Middle TN is reading right now or you all have kids in the tournament and I'm the enemy..... Is there anyone around the Columbia/ Spring Hill area that can point me toward some local attractions/restaurants?

Yeah, anyone around Columbia!!! We're coming down next week for the Little League state tournament and I need some heads up. I've got two adults and four kids to feed and entertain for (hopefully) a week. Any insight on attractions or hole-in-the-wall eateries that only locals know about would...
