Hi all- I know its a stretch but does anyone here know what the laws are in Newburyport, MA? I am hearing different things and the ordinances online are very confusing. Or any tips on how to clarify regulations in our favor?? ;) Thanks!! Shannon

I have a beautiful friendly 8 month old black and grey silkie roo that needs rehoming. Sad to let him go but can't have roosters in my town.

Hello, I hatched out some Japanese bantam chicks and I am looking to add a few more birds to my flock. I am in Attleboro MA. Thanks !

We have two roosters we need to rehome. They are both about 9 months old. We already have three other roosters and only seven hens. One of our hens hatched them last year. They are half Rhode Island Red and we are not sure what they are mixed with (Either another RIR, Easter Egger or Copper Maran).

Hi there, My apologies if this is a redundant topic, but I have searched high and low for months now in an effort to track down some local people in the New England region, particularly NH, who are looking to sell/swap eggs/chicks. I have been researching much of the winter looking at...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm brand spankin' new to chickens and am looking forward to raising some. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? None at the moment, but am looking to order some chicks soon... (3) What breeds do you have? None yet (4) How...

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. I am looking for someone in western/central Massachusetts or bordering states who would like to share a baby chick order from My Pet Chicken in spring 2018. I have a a small coop/run and am looking to only add 3 bantam chickens to my existing flock of three. But...

"Teacup" is a gentle giant that I can no longer keep. He's just over one year old. Despite his size, weirdly, he always defers to other roosters. Hand raised, completely non-aggressive, yet very protective of the flock from predators. Size makes him pretty "hawkproof". Littleton MA, but...

I have 3 cockerels hatched April 25th. These guys are NOT aggressive and I would like to find them a nice home(s). One is RIR X Leghorn. The other two are Bantam EE X Legbar. I'm located in Western Massachusetts.

Hoping to get 6 finished young RIR hens, to start a new flock. The BYC hatchery lists don't show anything in Massachusetts. Thanks!

Casually looking to expand my flock

I was born and grew up in Central Massachusetts, and from a young age have volunteered & worked on small organic farms, urban ag farms/gardens, & community gardens. I also attended The Mountain School in Vershire, Vermont, which is where I had my first foray into taking care of livestock, and...

I have two EE bantam X Legbar cockerels up for grabs. They were hatched on April 25th. I'm located in Western MA.

Hi, I need to rehome my 7 wyandotte hens. 3 gold laced and 4 silver laced. All great egg layers, get about 40+ per week from them. I just don't have the time for them, and we have a lot of predators so they dont get to free roam much. I have some pellets and some crumbles left. i will also give...
