Cleaned the coop and put in extra shavings, did bring my banty in tonight as she was in a nesting box by herself. I think I will go out and put Vaseline on the larger combs...this is the coldest it has ever been since I have had chickens and I know they are farm animals but they are my babies...

I have to share my Hawk story...You won't believe this but today as usual when the kids got home from school I told them they had to go let the chickens out and keep watch for the coopers hawk and red tailed hawk that have been hanging around (I have not let them out unsupervised since this...

My girls finally ventured out today but mostly chose to stay on the sidewalk!! YEAH and power came back on around 5 pm!! wootwoot

We had about 6 inches in the city, no power since about 8:30 pm last night, phone and internet intermittent, generator going too. Got one after having no power for a week after the derecho!! And my girls don't want to come out of the run. We opened the door yesterday while it was snowing and...

Anyone in SW VA (Roanoke, Blacksburg, Radford area) have any fertile eggs? My banty has gone broody and the kids would love to see her hatch some chicks. She keeps trying to lay on the other girls eggs or the plastic eggs I have in the nesting boxes. Thought I might check around to see if...

So happy for you!!!! I know how miserable it has been (looked at checking account yesterday and can't believe how much we spent on gas for the generator too, and we were splitting it with a neighbor!). Just took the trash out and amazed to think this time last week it was hot as hell and we...

Hey ki4got have you gotten power back yet? we got ours back Thursday afternoon. Hope you have yours back on!!

I am right there with you ki4got, we still don't have power either in Rke city. Gonna have to make another run to get gas for the generator soon. At least Cox is back up so I can get on the Internet! Feel like I have some civilization, and can find out quicker what's going on. I hope the power...

OMG Having withdrawal!! I am in Roanoke CIty and we still do not have power, lost it Friday night!! I am at the library now and finally can get online!!! I had to put my 3 week olds (almost 4 weeks old this week) out in the big girl coop the other night, we are sleeping in the basement and even...

Great Pic! I am waiting on a shipment that should come any day now so that I will reach my max of 10 for the city....hum wonder if bantams count as half since they are so small???? haha

Just like Ki4got you need to list the town/city you live in. Each town/city/county has it's own laws not to mention if you live in an HOA that may supersede the local law. I am in Roanoke City and we can have 10 chickens on a property that is less than 20,000 sq ft. If over 20,000sq ft you...

HAHA but I sure would love to see some of my neighbors faces! I guess I should have put I was joking! But I did find in the city code you can have guinea fowl...I would have thought they were too noisy.

Yeah for Salem!! http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/307872 Salem council bows to coops Once the city council realized how many residents owned chickens, it decided to allow the practice to continue.

Oh yes the roads are very winding! My son sometimes get car sick on the ride up there and we come from New Castle so it isn't as bad as coming from Catawba. Plus I worry about all the deer and constantly tell my husband WATCH OUT and your going TOO FAST! haha
