My post office opens at 9 AM, but Sally, the Postmistress, called me at 8 AM (when she got there) to let me know my chicks had arrived - come get them.  Of course, Little Meadows (N.E. Penna) has a population of, give or take, 325!

Hey Kamir, we are only about 40 mins away from each other!!

Haha!  <3 this one :)

I'm in Worthington [actually West Franklin Twp.), Armstrong County!

My chickens actually have 4 balsaam firs to hide under--the hawk got a Welsummer pullet in the 5 ft gap between the fence and a fir tree!  I had hoped to free range them when they are full-grown, as we have the acreage here.  I did run monofillament line criss-cross over their yard, hung a stupid plastic owl from a fence post (I'll move it every couple of days), and a small mirror is now flashing in one of the firs. Thinkin' I might try a scarecrow . . .

I know it's illegal to kill raptors--thanks for the warning, though.  How does one attract crows???

Hi Shelbear81...

Tunkhannock area I believe is your location.

I regularly visit this thread as I am in Penna, born and raised in Norristown, SE Penna.  However, I mostly frequent the NY Chicken Lovers thread as I am more familiar with the southern tier of NY than the northern parts of Penna.

Rehoboth Farm...not sure how far Armstrong county is from Susquehanna/Bradford Counties...my property is in both.
