    Muscovy Ducks: 2 male, 5 female born June 2017, $200

    By the way, this breed of duck is "quackless"! They don't make any noise! This was a major reason why we chose them for our backyard... we didn't want to disturb the neighbors any more than our laying hens (loud) already do. They make very quiet friendly "hissing" sounds when they greet you :)

    Massachusetts: 12 laying hens, mixed flock, re-homing (free)

    We're planning to sell our house for a move to the city and, while we'll be offering the flock to the buyers, we're trying to get a head start on a possible plan B for our 3+ year old flock of laying hens. This flock is very fun and social. While a few might prefer to keep their distance, they...

    Muscovy Ducks: 2 male, 5 female born June 2017, $200

    Born on June 13, 2017. Location: Hudson, MA We bought this flock with the intention of raising for eggs and breading for meat. We love them but we're in the early stages of planning a move to the city. These ducks are friendly but still slightly skittish. They are very fun and silly ducks! Two...

    Runt chick has abnormal feathers... is she sick?

    I got 8 chicks in the mail 2 weeks ago and one appears to not be growing as fast as the other. She is much smaller and her wings don't seem to be growing normally... they are very scraggly and she doesn't stretch them like the other chicks do. I'm probably overthinking this but is there anything...

    Ordered my first batch of chicks!

    Got the call from the post office early this morning... "Come pick up your chicks!". Got them into the brooder we set up in one of our spare rooms for now. All 8 chicks seem to be happy and healthy. More pictures on my instagram page linked in my profile.

    Ordered my first batch of chicks!

    Yay! I'm all set for a much earlier delivery... May 19th, my chicks will be on their way. They had to swap out my easter egger and the speckled sussex for another barred rock and buff orb... i'm ok with that! Picking up all the wood for the coop this weekend!

    Ordered my first batch of chicks!

    I'll try not to worry too much! This weekend I made 4 back to back trips to Lowes (thankfully only a couple miles away) in my car to haul the cinder blocks for the coop foundation. Next time I'll rent a truck! Customer support from chickensforbackyards got back to me and informed me that the...

    Ordered my first batch of chicks!

    Yes! I replied asking if the delay was due to one or more of the breeds not being available until then... I would swap a couple out if it meant getting them in May

    Ordered my first batch of chicks!

    Just ordered 8 chicks from chickensforbackyards.com to be delivered in May. I looked around on this forum for peoples' experiences and they seem like a reputable supplier so I went with it. This is my first time raising chickens so I'm excited and nervous at the same time. The 8 chicks are each...

    Hello from [near] Boston!

    My wife and I just bought our first house. We'll be located about 20 miles outside of Boston (where I work) and I was so happy to learn that my town has no anti-chicken laws! I'm 25 and I'll be a first time chicken farmer, although I grew up on a farm and love outdoor hobbies. My other hobby, is...
