I expect our markets are quite different. I sell eggs for $4.50 a dozen and can't keep them in stock! I sell meat birds (cornish cross - not heritage or anything special) for $4.00 and always have a waiting list. Our customers are extremely loyal. I hardly ever take on new customers because...
Hi,

We have recently sold our house and need to downsize our flock. I have various age chickens and breeds. The youngest (10-15 months) are black sexlinks and RIR in their first laying season for $15.00 each. I also have 2 light sussex (2 years old) and 1 blue cochin (3 years old) heritage birds for...
We're in the process of selling our house and need to reduce our flocks. I have a couple of Pekin ducks, both females, about 15 months old. They're great layers. We get an egg from each almost every day. They'll only lay until fall but will pick up again in the late winter. $10.00 each...

A racoon got our khaki campbell female one night when we couldn't get her into her pen. At the time, we incubated all of her eggs (6) and hatched 5 adorable little ducklings. Unfortunately, they're all males! Who would have thought that would happen!
Anyway, I'm looking for one or two young...
Anyone know of a poultry processor in my area (North Shore, MA or southern NH)? We'd love to find someone especially to do our ducks and geese! I'm thinking of doing our local farmer's market so would love a USDA place but will follow all leads.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm about to acquire 8 hens, just about a year old, whose owner says the girls are 'plucking' each other. I don't know alot about the situation - e.g. what their diet is, what the coop / ranging setup is.
I realize if their diet is off, it might cause unhealthy behaviors, or if they...
Hi,
How old is the RIR pullet? (And, is she still available?)
And, do you by any chance travel to (or towards) NE MA anytime? I'm in Rockport, MA.
Thanks!

Hi Shaun,
There's a farm in Newbury, MA that will have started Americana pullets available by the end of June. I know that's outside the range you were looking in but thought I'd mention it if you think it's worth the trip.
If so, let me know and I'll look up her details; it's called Long...
Hi Everyone,
I'm in MA, too! I'm in Rockport, MA. We've had chickens for about 7 or 8 years but I've just joined this group.
Nice to meet you all!
