    MA/NH - started chicks (from Ideal) in Aug

    I want to put in the order for chicks to be raised at my camp this summer. We get them, we raise them, and then in August we rehome them. Tell me now what kind you would like to pick up in August. I can make a random interesting selection, but I'd much rather have their ultimate destinies...

    NH/MA - who wants started chicks? (available in august)

    Same as last year, but with more organized this time. I'm going to be ordering chicks from Ideal Poultry for my summer camp. They arrive in June, we raise them all summer, and then come August, they need to go away. Worked pretty well last year, except I had multiple people wanting certain...

    White Silkie Roosters for FREE

    Are your seabrights roos as well? Don't get your hopes up (I sympathize; I'm trying to unload a black silkie roo myself) -- I'm in MA and trying to become rooster-free. But we have a seabright hen who is so sweet, and lays every single day (producing in volume more egg than hens twice her...

    Northeastern Poultry Congress (West Springfield) - Jan 17-18, 2009

    I'm coming, in part because it's a convenient midway point to meet someone who is taking a silkie roo off my hands. So here's one of the stranger questions... Any suggestions about how to keep a chicken warm enough in the car while we go look at the show? (The roo is healthy, but not entered...

    Don't underestimate a bantam!

    We have in our flock a Golden Sebright, about the size of a pigeon. We figured she'd just be for cuteness, with the occasional nearly-pointless egg. Well, she started laying first (a week or two shy of five months old), and quickly settled into almost frightening regularity -- in one stretch...

    MA - free black silkie roo

    He's a beautiful guy, but we have a laying flock and he's chasing them in circles. We'd love it if someone would give him a god home. Bhadrika

    black langshan & cuckoo maran roos, free or BO, in SE MA

    We have a few mellow roos to rehome. We were waiting for them to get obnoxious before unloading or eating them, but they are carefully avoiding being obnoxious -- don't quarrel with each other, don't harass the hens, and haven't even crowed. Still pretty sure they're roos (the Cuckoo has the...

    MCMURRAY

    Wow, that last posting... you'd think they'd at least count the legs before shipping... We've ordered twice, and been generally pleased. Last year, ordered 26 (5 plymouth rock, 10 dk cornish, 7 americauna, one buttercup, 2 cuckoo maran, one free mystery), got 27, three died in the first week...

    Bare Bummed Buff

    Our Dark Cornish is the same way -- we thought it was molting, since it also lost a lot of feathers around her neck. but She never went ahead to the rest of a molt (and now another one has, I know better what that looks like). Seems fine and healthy otherwise. I'm reassured that yours has...

    Dropped dead -- should we worry?

    We have a mixed flock -- 6 year-old hens, ten cornish rock crosses, and about 10 other fancy chicks, all around 8wks old. The Crosses are for meat, and we were planning to have our Sweeney Todd Party this weekend. Last night, we found one of them dead. Slight abrasion on the tip of one wing...

    Various rare chicks in MA/NH

    Thanks for all the replies! More info: The chicks are all about six weeks old (arrived as "day olds" on 6/23, some looking decidedly 3-4 days old). All are very healthy (didn't lose any in this batch! I recommend if you get the opportunity to drive to the USPS hub to pick them up a day...

    Various rare chicks in MA/NH

    I work in a camp where we ordered and raised a delightful group of 17 chicks, representing 16 breeds. Well, camp's ending, and it's my job to deal with the chicks (all about 6 wks old now, healthy, and fairly tame from being handled by campers). I plan to keep some, and we have some other...

    anyone have Black Langshan chicks for sale?

    Don't know how far you're willing to go, but I've got a 6wk old black roo who looks gorgeous, in MA. We could hold onto him until you felt like a little road trip -- I'm hoping to find real homes for the roos in my batch of mixed rare birds. Email me if interested: [email protected]
