I am on long island also looking for a frizzle or silkie...did you have any luck?

im on long island NY. It is very hard to find anyone with chickens here, let alone silikes

Quote: Come be nervious with us!! I am so worried that I am going to mess everything up! I currently have 4 thermometers in the incubator, yes i am nervious!! Sometimes I tend to go a little overboard. I am very jealous of your Genesis! I really wanted one, but no one sells them around...
