I just wanted to drop in and say hello! I have 4 chickens here in downtown Atlanta, and my husband and I have had beehives. Hopefully we will have another hive next spring. I knit, sew, quilt, crochet, make tofu, bake bread and love learning. I have always lived in cities, but my Dad grew up on a farm, and the stories from his childhood have always inspired me to learn ways to incorporate self sufficiency into an urban lifestyle. I have had chickens for years, that is why they call me the chickengoddess. I'm glad I found this forum, and I look forward to spending many happy hours here. Thanks to Mary Jane as well, I wish I had found her magazine years ago!
Bok on!

Hi Alma,
Welcome! I love that you have bees and chickens in the City, proving that we farmgirls can "plow thru" no matter where we are logistically. I too have chickens. Buff Orpingtons, and I love them. I noticed that you are a bread maker so please make sure to check out the thread we have going on Breadthemaryjaneway, you will love it no doubt and the seamstress in you will love that MaryJane is coming out with some fabric in June ( with Andover).. Anyway, a HUGE farmgirl welcome to you... OH hey, makes sure to catch our City Farmgirl's blog... She is a Georgian too. Here is her blog http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/MJFBlog/

Hey Alma, from another Ga. girl! I'm right below Chattanooga at the foot of Lookout Mt. So nice to have another Ga. girl here. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Alma! So nice to see a chicken lover. My son and I love chickies too, however, we are no longer allowed to have them in our little burg.:(
I am looking forward to reading your posts on your blog. Very nice.

Welcome Alma!!! 
I was hoping to get chickens this year but wasn't able too. So we are planning ahead for next Spring :) I look forward to that day :)
It sounds like you found the perfect place to visit here with so many like-minded farmgals :)

Welcome Alma! I also live in downtown Atlanta. We used to have four chickens, but we are now down to two. One hen and one rooster who is quite the character!
You will surely have fun around here!
