    Rescued chicken in nyc

    Next week we will take her to a chicken farmer in Long Island. It’s a couple of hours away from us in Brooklyn, but he said he could help us determine her (hopefully) gender!

    There may be, but we only moved to this neighborhood in mid July, so we don’t know anyone else nearby with chickens.

    Thanks! I sent these two photos and a video of her walking around to along Island Poultry, and the farmer there said she looks pretty healthy. She looooves the feed and grit so hopefully she will continue to improve and in a week we’ll drive out there to get her friends!

    Hello!

    Ah thanks so much! It might work then. Our terrace is actually quite large- about 900 square feet, and is the roof of the apartment below us.

    Hello!

    Ah ok! What material do you recommend for the run? Is dirt the best? I was thinking of a mille fluer d’uccle, a porcelain d’uccle and a silkie. Would those bantams work?
