I've been ordering mine from hatcheries, but I think I'm about to start hatching my own.

We also have some good trade days around here, where people show up with chickens for sale.

Hi to all, and congrats to you retiring folks. I'm in Marion Co. west of Hamilton. I got some eggs from a friend to start a hatching. They will hatch on Sunday, April 6 th. I can't wait. I put 55 eggs in and hope that at least 50 of them will hatch. I gave a 1.00 a dz. and put some of my own in. I have a Speckled Hamburg that is wanting to set. I am saving some eggs for her. Problem ! She set last yr. with no luck, thought it was the rooster I had so I got another, so she left the nest with no chicks. Will that hurt her this yr.? Plus I have 2 larger hens that are mean to her and they all like to lay in the same nest so I hope adding a nest that the bigger hens can't jump up to will put a stop to this if I can get speck to set in it. Speck is her name. Any thoughts on this anyone? Thanks for your help. Your chicken friend: Moon

Wow! You are really close to me! Do you know where New Site is? They have an auction in Eclectic on Friday nights. My dad has been but I haven't made it yet.

I don't know where New Site is but i'm sure my hubby dose. I was raised in Olive Branch Ms. but I moved up here in Hamilton when I was 19 and married later and just loved it here. I bought my first hens in Ryne Ms. not far from Amory Ms. They have a flea market every 3 rd weekend and there was a man down there that I liked to buy from. They also have a huge flea market in Ripley Ms. every 1 st. Monday weekend and you can find just all sorts of critters there. Of course you have to be careful about buying out like that. I would like to know more about that auction, I love to go to them. Have to go to work now, get back to you soon. Have a nice day all: Moon
