    Northeast Poultry Congress 2013

    BE VERY Careful of HOARDER Breeders!!!!

    Have you considered contacting the ASPCA and/or Dept. of Health and forward the add (or name/address if you have it) and suggest that they perform an inspection? That could get it shut down or cleaned up quickly. I agree with all the concerns regarding biosecurity.

    Sensitive Public Situation..... How would you handle????

    do you know with certainty that other horses that will attend the show have not come into contact with horses from the west, other infected areas/farms or infected horses? I would guess that the answer is "no" so singling out this one person seems rash. I am not familiar with the EH1V virus...

    Pizza feed

    Others may disagree, but I think that it is great food - you have a lot of protien in the cheese, and anytime you can get free food for your birds is a GREAT day! If it were me, I'd still keep a bag of balanced layer pellets on hand to feed periodically. This brings up an issue that I have...

    Quote: Howdy neighbor! If you are ever looking to get more chickens, I'm on Fomer Rd. I currently have a Sumatra roo and a mixed Sumatra/Andalusian roo I'm trying to give away (I'd like to get down to at least a 1:2 rooster to hen ratio) and I'm going to be hatching out at least once more...

    I am looking for an old english game bantam roo - BB Red. Preferably in southern VT as it is for my dad. I would consider trading an old english hen for a nice roo. Looking to get some genetic diversity in my flock.

    Massachusetts anyone?

    Quote: Hello from South Central MA! My flock have made it through 3 winters so far with only 1 casualty. They aren't happy about being cooped up all winter, but if you design your coop with plenty of south-facing windows and keep the litter in the coop dry (I have to add a bale of shavings...

    Massachusetts anyone?

    he is a beautiful bird - if I didn't already have more roosters than I needed I'd consider it. If you don't get any luck in the regional threads you may want to try the breed page?
