We're in Eastern Putnam and have been getting feed from the new TSC in Patterson, but there are plenty of Agways and such around.
I would love to get 4-6 more chicks, but don't want to mail-order a "minimum".
Specifically, I would love to get some young B.O's and maybe an EE or two.

Got any local leads?

Again, welcome. Nice having another Putnamite join in.

Rich, that's some lousy luck. At least you did wind up with three pullets. Have to look on the bright side.

There are 3 babies (Buff Orpington named Lola, Speckled Sussex named Mabel, Silver Laced Wyandotte named Blanche) in a brooder box in the other room. And 6 in the coop outside (Black Star named Gladys, Rhode Island Red named Agatha, Easter Egger named Rhonda, Barred Rock named Wanda, Golden Comet named Shirley and Black Australorp named Aretha). Which equals 8, of course. Not counting the 12 eggs in the mail. I have a Master's Degree in chicken math.

Keep us posted with chick pix.

There hatching already, Suzanne? Time does fly. Good luck. It has to be nerve wracking waiting for them to pip.
