Thanks!

Does anyone know if there's another poultry swap scheduled in Sharpsburg after the one this weekend, or is this weekend the last one for the year? Thanks!

I may go to the swap on Saturday to look for two more pullets. I'd like a couple of ducks, but I don't have housing for them. Maybe next year. The previous owner left a very small dog house, but I don't think it's good enough. No ventilation, too small, not varmint proof.

I'm hoping to go to the 3 sept swap. I've moved to 6 acres since the one in the spring, and I'd like to add 2-3 hens. I currently have 1 BO roo and 3 BO hens that just started laying. The roo is going to need more ladies. I hope to take my daughter and grandson this time.

Buff orpingtons, but I'm also limited in my opinion since this is my first flock! But so far, so good!

Lol!

Nope definitely not me! I have 2 German Shepherds!

Glad to hear you had a successful sale; sorry about the hatch. I was mainly looking for a rabbit, and there were quite a few. But common sense dictated that I should build the hutch, THEN get the rabbit!

Lol! I didn't see your post until I got home! I probably walked by your several times! Sorry I missed the opportunity to say hello!

I'm excited to go this first time! It's 100 miles one way, but I plan to go! I'll have to leave at 6 a.m. But I get up that early for yard sales!

Thanks very much @hbhoffman! I'll take a look! I'm in southern Anne Arundel county

On another note, is anyone going to the Maryland Poultry Swap next Saturday in Sharpsburg? It'll be a long drive for me, but I'm thinking about it. Critters and plants all in one place?! My kind of shopping!

Thanks! Yeah I found New Country Organics online. It'll cost $13 shipping for me from VA, but it may be worth it. It's apparently too suburban where I live, so I can't find a local reseller. We have a TSC and one other farm supply store near me, but they carry what's in high demand, I guess. I'm...

Anyone in Maryland have a source or recommendation for soy-free organic poultry food? A lot of what I'm finding near me, if not all, had soy in it. Yet I thought I read/heard somewhere that soy isn't good for chickens. Maybe I dreamed it. Anyway, I figured if I want to control my egg...

@Dcat I don't need more chicks, but I live about 15 mins south of you in the West River area near Deale. Hey neighbor!

So this is slightly off topic, yet it isn't. I'm considering looking at the western Maryland area, so I can have enough acreage for a small mini-farm/homestead. I see some reasonable listings in Allegany county. Garret county is also pretty. I've camped and hiked at Green Ridge State Park, but I...

Hi ChickityChina! I too have lurked and explored this site for several years. I recently retired and was considering moving to North Carolina, but I've decided to postpone that for a year, and so I plan to get my 4 hopefully all girls from a local farm supply store. The guy was very helpful...

Hi Fellow Marylanders! I just joined BYC and get my 4 Buff Orpington chicks hopefully around 24 March! I'm very excited and have found this site to be a wealth of information. I haven't had chickens since I left home many years ago.
