Me too! My 4 leghorns have been laying all winter. Now the silver pencilled plymouth rocks are starting to lay. Yeah!

Hello Highland Spirit I'm from PEI. I got my silver pencilled plymouth rocks from George Nauss in Brookfield, NS, not far from you. I don't know if he is still around because he was over 80 a few years ago, but I am very pleased with the birds that I got from him.

Welcome! Enjoy your chickens!

Hello SimmyChicky Great to see people from the Maritimes join this site. It is a great resource! What kind of chickens do you have? PEI Chicken

MrsFlood Good to see another Maritimer here. Hope your land isn't flooded, like your name. What type of chickens do you have? I have eleven silver pencilled Plymouth Rock hens and a couple of cocks, plus an Easter egger. Happy Easter, by the way PEI Chicken

Yes, PEI is a lovely place to live. Not as fast paced as some parts of Canada. Welcome to you and your chickens! This year, 2014, will be a good time to vacation on PEI. We are celebrating and there are lots of extra events being held. PEI Chicken

Wow, why the interest in living in PEI? I've lived here all my life. Grew up on a small mixed farm and raised my family on a small farm just 5 miles from where I grew up. My husband and son have been working for the past 7-10 years in Alberta. Hubby is now semi retired, but still doing long...

Hello Brothers No, I don't have an incubator but I do see them advertised on Kijiji quite often. I had good luck last year using Kijiji PEI to sell breeding stock and extra chickens that I had. Good luck in your search. Hatching season is coming up soon. If you know of anyone who has silver...

Finally, a thaw on PEI, and with a couple of feet of snow melted, the chickens can enjoy the freedom of the great outdoors! Four of them found their way to the woodshed, and really wanted to stay there. Do we really have to leave? It's too slippery on this ice! Does she really expect us...

And Merry Christmas to all from PEI Chicken, too! I have 12 laying hens and 2 roos. I'm waiting until it warms up a bit before they can get together to breed. Some people are wanting fertile eggs. Right now I am only getting 3 eggs per day, and these are from the 2013 pullets. Lots of snow...

http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonton/heritage+chicken+program+scratch/8885471/story.html Here is a news item about the Heritage Poultry Program at the University of Alberta. If you were close to them it might be a good source for fertile eggs. Has anyone on BYC ever gotten eggs from...

Hello Stussy Welcome to BYC! Good to see another Maritimer here. No problem to keep most breeds in our Canadian winter; they'll be fine without heat, as long as they have fresh water and a dry place out of the elements.

Hi BunkyB Good to hear from you. I know where Pictou is. Used to travel to Cape Breton often, but now that my daughter is back on PEI I don't make the ferry trip often. There is a poultry show in Borden PEI in May. If you look up the PEI Poultry Fanciers site you will learn when. I got...

Hi again Milli Great to have the fresh eggs! The ones in the store don't taste nearly as fresh! Enjoy the BYC website. I have it as my home page now.:clap

Hello Milli Good to see another Islander here! I have a small flock of silver-pencilled Plymouth Rocks. It is increasing as we chat, because there are 20 eggs in an incubator upstairs and 5 chicks in the downstairs bathroom under a heat lamp. Will be moving these outside this week (with the...

Hello Bunky B Nice to see another Maritimer posting. What kind of chickens do you have?

These are the first 5 chicks to my Silver pencilled Plymouth Rock flock in 2013. I am building a temp pen in my woodshed, so hope they won't be in the house very long. When they are fully grown, they will look like these: If any Canadians are interested in buying some hatching eggs...

Hello fellow Canadians Weather is just below freezing here, so there is a bit of snow coming later today. Hatching chicks in my bathroom. 5 of 10 hatched out yesterday. 5 more to hatch, but not sure if they will; the remaining eggs are being rolled around by the chicks that have already...

Hi LauraAnn Welcome from Prince Edward Island -- on the other side of Canada. I will have heritage chicks (silver pencilled Plymouth Rocks), but you will be able to get some heritage chicks much closer to you in BC. If you don't find a contact here, try the Poultry Swap Ontario website, or...

Hello MickyLee Glad you have signed in! Welcome from PEI! How are your hens laying at this time of year? What breed(s) are they?
