Hi everyone...I've been away from BYC for a while, just trying to catch up with all the posts I've missed...there are a lot!
Just thinking about whether to add to my flock this Spring, I am still fairly new to chicken keeping having got my first girls in May of 2014. I've had quite a number of losses, some through illness and others through hawk attack, all in all I have really enjoyed keeping a flock, so with this in mind I'm looking to add another 6 or so pullets to my flock this spring from April to May, depending on availability.
I have a mixed flock of Penclled Rocks, Olive Eggers and Red Mutts, but I'm really open to adding anything cold hardy to my flock. If you have anything you would want to part with that you think I'd like please let me know, I'm interested in pullets only aged 8 weeks and up or thereabouts, and I'd like to get them from end of March forward.
I live in the Thumb area and would prefer to travel within a 35-40 mile radius of Reese for pickup if at all possible. Thanks for checking out my post and I hope to hear from anyone selling
Hi vintagegem - I live about 30 miles from you near Fostoria, MI. I don't have any extra hens or pullets right now, but I will be starting to hatch in late March and I am planning to hatch a lot of chicks this spring thanks to my new (to me) Brinsea Ova-Easy cabinet incubator. I have pure breeding flocks of Buff Orpingtons, Black & Blue French Copper Marans, and Wheaten Ameraucanas, along with a large mixed flock with a Black Copper Marans rooster. If you don't find anything sooner, feel free to contact me in April or May and I might have some extra pullets to sell by then.
