NY chicken lover!!!!

[Backyard Dacks]

Hello! I'm looking to buy around 10 male or female chickens- doesn't really matter- in the Hudson River Valley area (Suffern). I'd be willing to travel up to 45 minutes to pick up/meet up.
Those with extra roosters, here's a chance to get rid of them and make money!

Anyone looking for some roosters? I have two twelve week old Brahma olive egger crosses. They’re non aggressive and the father has yet to produce an offspring that was aggressive. The father is still a big lap bird that loves hugs and snuggles actually. None of my olive eggers are aggressive either so I belive these guys will be good roosters. I just can’t keep any more and I hate to sell my Brahmas for meat.
Broody raised but I handled them a bit more because they had frost bite. Their toes are a bit on the ugly side but functional. I had them in the coop with my flock but had to move them to a cage because they weren’t getting along with the hens. Hopefully the cage will be temporary. Pm me for location if interested.

I'm thinking about potentially hatching some eggs soon, but I can't keep the boys (I already have 2). Would anyone here like to take a rooster if I were to hatch one? It would be an EE/Black Australorp mix.

not sure if anyone knew of the new Usda regulations due to the avain flu
For Immediate Release: March 25, 2022
NEW YORK STATE PROACTIVELY BANS ALL FOWL SHOWS AND EXHIBITIONS TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST AVIAN FLU
Current Avian Influenza Strains are not a Threat to Humans
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets today announced that it has issued an order to ban all live fowl shows and exhibitions in New York State to help prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) to the state’s poultry population. Commissioner Richard A. Ball issued the order as a result of the continuing spread of strains of HPAI in the United States, including detections in New York State. The current outbreak has impacted 17 states so far and is rapidly expanding nationwide.
Commissioner Ball said, “Avian influenza is a very serious threat to all poultry and breeds of fowl, and is continuing to spread in the United States. By banning fowl shows and exhibitions in New York until further notice, we are taking a commonsense step to limit the co-mingling of birds to slow the spread of this disease in New York State and help keep our birds safe. Our poultry industry is a significant part of New York’s agricultural industry and steps like these are our best line of defense against the disease.”
The ban will remain in effect until further notice. The Department is continuing close monitoring of HPAI in New York State and plans to reassess the Notice of Order in late May to determine whether it should remain in place through the summer fair season.
As the HPAI outbreak spreads in other parts of the United States, several additional states have taken the step to ban poultry exhibitions and/or gatherings of poultry, including Arkansas, Iowa, and Georgia.
HPAI in New York State
To date, four flocks in New York have tested positive for HPAI. HPAI has also been detected in wild birds, including snow geese and wild ducks across New York State. The Department is working closely with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on a joint incident response and is also collaborating with partners at the Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation. Additionally, Department officials are reaching out to poultry and egg farms across the state to ensure best practices are being implemented and to prepare for potential additional avian influenza cases in New York.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these recent HPAI detections in birds do not present an immediate public health concern. No human cases of these avian influenza viruses have been detected in the United States.
The detections of HPAI in New York prompt reminders for commercial and hobby poultry farmers to increase their biosecurity measures to help prevent the spread of the disease. Poultry owners should keep their birds away from wild ducks and geese and their droppings. Outdoor access for poultry should be limited at this time.
Additionally, the Department encourages all poultry producers, from small backyard to large commercial operations, to review their biosecurity plans and take precautions to protect their birds. Poultry biosecurity materials and checklists can be found on the USDA’s “Defend the Flock” website. Best practices include:
· Discourage unnecessary visitors and use biosecurity signs to warn people not to enter buildings without permission.
· Ask all visitors if they have had any contact with any birds in the past five days.
· Forbid entry to employees and visitors who own any kind of fowl.
· Require all visitors to cover and disinfect all footwear.
· Lock all entrances to chicken houses after hours.
· Avoid non-essential vehicular traffic on-farm.
· After hauling birds to processors, clean and disinfect poultry transport coops and vehicles before they return to the farm.
· Report anything unusual, especially sick or dead birds, to AGM.
To report sick birds, unexplained high number of deaths, or sudden drop in egg production, please contact the Department’s Division of Animal Industry at (518) 457-3502 or the USDA at (866) 536-7593.

Would anybody be willing to care for 4 friendly hens for a few months? We're going to be moving, and I expect things will go more smoothly if I don't have them here. I'm in Bergen County, NJ, but am willing to bring them into lower NY.

@shellz131 Thank you for this info. Really hoping they don’t ban the import of chicks from other states…
