Probably came to the realization that nesting boxes are dry, lol. My girls have been wanting to hang out in the coop more than the run, even with part of my run being covered. We had 1.5 inches of rain already over the weekend. More to come through the week until the deluge from the...

Looks like one heck of a storm headed our way. Hope Ya'll and all your "peeps" stay safe and dry through the week.

The lady I talked to was nice, just had no clue what I was asking even when I tried to explain it to her. I recently moved to Bath Co and have been looking at raising my own chickens again,and hopefully a few ducks. I've been looking at places to find either some chicks, and maybe a few older...

Anyone know if the TSC's in Lexington or Staunton have swaps? I called the Staunton TSC but the lady that answered the phone was about as helpful as a rock.

I'm moving to Millboro Springs by the end of the month.

http://swva.craigslist.org/grd/4411848654.html For anyone in SW VA looking for Laying Hens / well behaving roos I'm selling mine due to having to move for a new job.

Saw the damage first hand what the wind can do, to places like Glade Springs, a few places on state land I had a hand in cleaning up access roads to too. Hasn't been too bad here it blew one of my vents open and off the coop, but it was my fault for not closing it securely. I just hate the...

Chilhowie.

I have the exact same problem when I try to feed my hens old egg shells, my Roo's gobble them up and shoo the hens away until they are done.

Egg production wise I really like my Silver Spangled Hamburg, she lays 6/7 days a week and has done so through the nastiest weather this winter. A friend has several of them and has gotten the same result. She lays a medium size white egg, they are a skittish breed though so if you are...

I'll have to check out the local SS here and maybe tractor supply tomorrow and see what they have left. Hopefully they have some, although if my wife knows they are taking orders on chicks / ducks she may not let me go un-supervised.

I live near Chilhowie (exit 35 off 81)

3-4 inches here and. 1/2 my gals can't figure it out the other half are just acting like it's another day of snow. Brought them out some stale bread and all seems well.

I've got two that are on death row now. Might take them to the swap in Marion on the 1st if I let them live that long. Ones the Andalusian, the others a leghorn, I think, whom I was going to let live until it chased / attacked my daughter today. Thankfully, it's all good to butcher...

Anyone in SW VA want a free 4 month old Blue Andalusian Roo? He's Non-aggressive, more skittish then anything. I don't need him and he came as my free bird in a McMurray order. If I keep him he's going to end up as dumplings, I already have two roos in with my hens and really don't need a...

-6 here. Called into my work saying I'd be late, both out vehicles won't start, boss said it's -10 there.

Nice pups for sure. Most of my chickens have made it through fine, thanks to some help lists on here, and common since on my part. One of my small leghorns will loose most of her comb, and one of my big roos will loose a bit of his, otherwise Mine have made it through okay, so far...

Mine made it through alright, thanks to a well built old shed and to some tips and tactics on here. My one big roo has some damage to his comp. I was going to try to prevent that but he is a bit skittish of me (We've had our "go arounds" in the past) and won't let me pick him up. But he...

Thankfully my coop is protected by one of my major sheds. I tried to seal up some of the cracks where wind could sneak through and put down quite a bit more straw in case they get too cold on the roosts and have to huddle low. I'm a little worried about them, but they're pretty hardy and...
