    Hello all. I am currently in MA, but planning to move to Coventry RI. I have had chickens for 6 years now. Are there any places locally to buy chicks? I have purchased through the mail before, but I prefer a small flock- and mail order minimums are too high!

    BYC members in Massachusetts?

    I have ordered from Meyer 3X. Two times the shipping came right to my home, and once they called me to the PO. The shipping has been overnight twice, and once there was mix up and it took 3 days... This year I drove up to Dodge Grain in Salem NH to get chicks so I didn't have to sit at home...

    Northeast peeps. Are your hens laying?

    I have 17 hens. I'm getting 1-2 eggs/day. The rest still aren't laying. I know it's been a rough winter, but this is ridiculous! Those are some expensive eggs!

    Lost all my polish... too cold?

    The other birds are 5 easter egger, 3 wyandottes, a couple marans, brahma, cochin. All heavy breeds.I didn't lose any other birds. The coop is not insulated/heated, and it's been a bad winter here.

    Lost all my polish... too cold?

    I have a mixed flock. I had 4 polish that I got in a batch of assorted rare pullets from Meyers last spring, but they all passed this winter. It has been brutally cold and snowy. All the other birds seem fine, Could it be just too cold for Polish?
