    Barnyard Mix Standards

    6 barnyard mix chicks, straight run. I have a motley crew, but these are most likely EE/RIR Xs. There's also a frizzle roo in there, as well as Barred Rocks, Sussex, EE, SL Rocks, Maran hens, so I can't guarantee what cross you're getting :-) Four are all black, two are your typical chipmunks...

    Silver Penciled Rocks

    Two straight run chicks, about 3 weeks. Had to buy as a group and I don't need quite so many, so I'm just looking to get back what I paid Can deliver in Sturbridge, MA or Ellington, CT areas. Sorry for the pic quality--they don't stay still for very long!

    Looking For A Butcher In Massachusetts

    This is an older thread, but popped up in a search... Just an FYI--Stearns in Charlton doesn't do poultry. I called late last year to find out :-)

    Poultry Ordinances for Sturbridge, MA

    Hi there! 5 acres is the minimum for any farming--which includes the keeping/raising of poultry. You can apply for permission to keep poultry though, by going to the agricultural commission.

    Male Guinea Fowl--CT/MA

    Have a free male guinea who needs a home. He's the last of my original flock that I had passed along to a friend. Trying to find a good home for him, since I don't have guineas anymore and he'd be pretty lonely at my place :-) Willing to drive a reasonable distance for delivery in the...

    Please help me understand meat eaters not wanting to process a chicken!

    My answer is pretty simple. I enjoy eating meat, and believe it can be part of a healthy diet. However, I have neither the knowledge, the heart or the space to actually do the slaughtering. I have no problem paying the guy 20 minutes away to do the deed. My little contribution to stimulating the...

    3 young EE/BR crosses--MA

    Easter Egger/Barred Rock crosses. Three months old (hatched 8/18). Fully feathered, living out in the coop and free ranging all day. All three look to be pullets, but I'm no expert $15 for all of them. I live near Sturbridge, MA and work near Somers, CT, either place is good to meet up

    September Hatch-A-Long!

    I haven't had time to keep up, but wanted to update. 14 eggs went into lockdown on Friday. 10 peeps hatched out no problem, one needed a little assistance, but he made it and is in the brooder with the rest. The last 3 unhatched eggs are still in the 'bator, only because the husband insisted...
