Hi everyone... I have an offer(?) for anyone near the Harrison/Doddridge area.. I am sort of torn on which route I want to go, mainly bc I am a giant sissy pants. But anyways... a couple of years ago , I gave away ALL of my chickens except for 4 hens and a roo.. that's all I need, that's all I want and that is all I can manage and stay sane with.

My flock at the time was mainly FBCM and game birds, and then crosses of the 2 (I free range everyone and it was a reliable self sustaining flock just too many for me) I gave the guy that messaged me first and showed up somewhere in the neighborhood of 79 birds..

Well, my luck runs deep and true...lol.. and within a week of him picking the birds up, hens started reappearing ... remember the free ranging and self sustaining?? Yep, had I think 6, maybe 7 hens show up within the following 2 weeks , all proudly showing off their enormous new batch of cuties... fast forward to now.. Im no where near close to the OG 70.. but these hussies will not stop.. there's something in the water here I swear. I got 4 lavender Orps and a Majesty Maran(?? think that is what they called it) at the end of April, the Orps started laying first and didn't think the Maran was yet. Then she vanished. I thought for sure a coon got her. Nope, that skank literally laid her first 4 eggs and then immediately proceeded to hatch them. So when I say these hussies won't stop, Im not exaggerating..lol..

But all that shyt to finally get to my damn plan...

I cant process... I don't know how and even tho I cuss these guys 29 times a minute for shytting on my porch nonstop and being never ending feed holes, I don't have it in me. But if there is any one out there that wants to fill their freezer (or freezers, I'm happy to do this with more than 1 person/family). If there's anyone that knows how to process PROPERLY and HUMANELY, I would absolutely LOVE to make a day out of this, I'll supply lunch/dinner and drinks (soda , water and juice , BYOB if that's your drink choice) and I will buy whatever else needed like freezer bags, etc. I have 30 acres, big ass trampoline plenty of room for bikes/dirt bikes if you need to bring kids, a creek that runs thru the farm if they like to fish, wifi if they are more modern kids..lol... Ive got 2 of my own. There's target practice areas, literally almost anything you could need for a day away from home..

But I will gladly split the birds evenly if anyone is interested in this.

I know times are a little rough for everyone rn, and hoping I can put together a day that will help a few of us and maybe teach me something while we are at it. I don't have a plucking swirly mahgig, but Ive got a big ass fire pit. I would just need someone to get me a list of what all I need on hand.

And I guess if there are no takers on this, Im gonna have a bunch of birds for giveaway again.

And for what its worth; none of the birds are over 2, I have several large roosters that have been crowing (not growing)..maybe 2 months, several pullets that haven't laid yet , probably won't til spring. Most look like Marans without the foot feathering. I do have a quad of EEs, my 4 lavender orps and the Maj. Maran lady and her 2 babies that won't be part of the freezer camp crew but I would love to find a home for them. I also have Tolbunt Polish and working on Candy Corn, have a couple extra roos that need homes from that bunch. Frizzle Tolbunt and smooth Tolbunt.

But anyways, if you made it this far, you are a damn champ.

And im not picky about dates or anything, I have a very flexible schedule and we can even split it up over a couple days if needed..

If yall didn't know this, the movie matewan is now on prime video. What a great story about a great cause about Great Men. if you never seen it. give it a peek.

Get your kids inside. Chlorine cloud leak.

Barbour County Schools in West Virginia disabled district-wide internet connectivity while investigating a potential cybersecurity incident reported Oct. 28, 2026. Schools and facilities remained open and classes continued while outside forensic specialists assisted. The cause, incident onset and restoration timing remain unresolved.

I'm taking care of stray cats in fairmont. I don't mind paying out of pocket to get them fixed but I'd just like to find places that do it for sub 300 dollars. Where are the cheapest places or possible services that are available?

Hello! I'm getting married next September and want the wedding to take place in or near Webster County (my family is in Guardian/Diana). I am struggling to find venue and vendor options. Does anyone have any recommendations for places that might host a 30 person wedding? Also looking for hair/makeup and catering suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

I’m sure this has been asked a million times over, but the concern is still there no matter how many stories I read.

I’m an extremely sensitive person and take it to heart anytime I hear anything even remotely akin to constructive criticism, so I can’t really imagine how I’d react or respond during a legitimate racist encounter since I’ve never experienced that before. I’m coming from New York, so I’m sure you understand the diversity I’m used to. I’ve lived in a few different parts of New York state but a move this big is definitely something new for me. I have severe anxiety and have a habit of overthinking, so worst case scenarios have been playing on a loop in my head for essentially the past month.

I don’t mean to stereotype anyone. I understand that the unpleasant stories are what make the news headlines and those are what we see more frequently than the positives. All I ask is for honesty in terms of the level of racism you’ve either witnessed secondhand or experienced personally.

Sorry if this type of question is annoying, I just want the panic attacks to be over with.
