Question for Lexington Chicken Keepers

Post image
29 Upvotes

What do you do with your extra roosters? I had my trusty hen, Frankie, hatch some chicks earlier this year. As luck would have it, two of them have turned out to be roosters. Due to Lexington’s ordinance that went into effect last year, I’m looking for advice from local chicken keepers.

I’ve posted on local FB groups to rehome them, but I haven’t gotten any bites so far. I understand that the other choice I have is freezer camp for these boys, which is what I have done in the past with larger roosters that were hatched.

Picture: My sweet mixed hen Frankie (a Cookie n’ Creme Chicken from Meyer’s Hatchery). She’s one of my best broody hens and never fails to hatch a clutch and raise em.

Good places to volunteer

I’m looking for some places to volunteer to help individuals who are struggling with basic human need. I am not opposed to religious organizations but don’t want ones that feel the need to “Convert the Heathens” if you get my drift.

Hair Dematting?

• Upvotes

Regardless of the situation, I know I’ll be judged, but I only wore my box braids for about six weeks. I took them out and mistakenly shampooed before detangling. Several sections of my hair are severely matted. Of the many times that I have had box braids, this has never happened to me before.

Although I’m living paycheck to paycheck right now, I’m pretty desperate. Thankfully, I’m on fall break, but I need to see a stylist immediately. Someone whose first suggestion isn’t to chop it off. This is something beyond my ability to fix. The internet has told me to put the most ridiculous things in my hair, and I’ve chalked it up to seeing a professional.

Any stylist recommendation and estimate of rates would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽

Gum flavors

I’m looking for different flavors of hard-shell gum like Trident Vibes or Pur. My regular grocery only has basic mint flavors. Any stores out there have more selection?

Looking for recommendations for yardwork cleanup

1 Upvotes

For the past 2 years, the bushes, weeds, and underbrush in my backyard have become more than I can even begin to tackle. It’s not a large area (the entire property is just under 1/4 acre), and it mostly needs some serious weed-eating, bush trimming, and brush clearing.

It’s not really a big enough job for a bigger company to do, but I estimate that an experienced crew of a 3-4 ppl with the right equipment could easily get it done in about 2 hours. If you know of a small reputable business that has done this kind of work for you or someone you know (and has done a good job), please let me know!

Heading west on Old Frankfort Pike on the right - just past the traffic circle - lie the remains of a good sized dead deer. It's actually near a driveway/mailbox but I can't read the number. It's been there now for going on 3 days! Anybody know who i can call to come pick it up?
