Vermont

[FunnyBird]

Well here is my first post on this lovely forum.

I am about to get my first fertile eggs to incubate! This is the first time I will have had chickens since I was a kid.

I went Agway today to get some live chicks as well, but it turns out they didn't have any (even though yesterday on the phone they said they did

). Needless to say my little kids are sad.

If anyone is in southern Vermont near Bratt and has any young

's for sale let me know. I am looking for some RI Reds or any other good layers.

Talk to you all later!

I will have tons of chicks ready for you to choose from in April.

Hi Do you have chicks available?
If so, where are you in VT? I am in Williston.

How many chicks are you looking for? I have a couple 2 week old sex links that i could probably sell you. (After checking with my hubby)
i live in Milton.

I am new to this, so help me out....
What kind of eggs do they lay?
I have 4 silkies and I have found out that their eggs are small oh well they are still super cute.
My coop is small so could I get 2 from you?
I am going to free range them so I don't think the coop is that big of a deal right this second.
Let me know.
Do you have any pictures of them full grown?

Just figured out what sex links are! Yes 2 of them would be awesome if your hubby lets you sell them.
Let me know! Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Sorry for taking so long. My husband and son were taken wuth sickness. Also my husband wants to keep all 6 of our birds. He was over whelmed by getting 6 instead of the planned 3. But i guess chicken math got ahold of him!!!! Sorry

The Vermont thread is really quiet - considering so many here have chickens AND that many are very serious about breeding quality and Northern hardy flocks.

Right now I have a total mix - but I will be concentrating on Marans and Millie D'Uccles.

This rainy weather is depressing - the teen chicks are huddled under a tarp laid over their outside run

Anyone else have Millies ? I would like to trade roosters so I don't inbreed.

Thanks.
