    I have chicken eggs I need to set anyways, so might as well join! 😃

    If feed stores closed and you can’t free range...

    I vote for “compost-fed” chickens as I’ve not had to purchase layer feed for spring through early winter. I only had to supplement feed in the winter to kick them back into egg laying after finishing molting. But I also had a food waste collection/ composting business that brought in 5-10...

    Official BYC Poll: How Long Have You Been Raising Chickens?

    I’ve been raining chickens for 11 1/2 years! I got my first 5 Red Star chickens in August 2008 as a present from friends. I guess I was imprinted as a little girl when I went to see my dad at work and in they had baby chicks and ducklings in the spring. I actually haven’t been on BYC recently...

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Yes the little roosters are becoming very obvious! Plus a few might be Legbar/Marans cross so they'd definitely have big combs! And these boys are already getting a pink tint to their combs! Hopefully I'll get a few nice pullets out of them. Might be a good pair to breed to the Birchen Marans/OE...

    Here's a few of the chicks from the eggs I won at Chickenstock! Apparently the Marans rooster was dominant because most are black with feathered feet. There's at least one frizzle polish/ Marans cross but it's looking a little roo-ish!

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    Better photos than mine that were mostly blurry, because I just used my phone even though I'd brought my other camera. Tomorrow I'm processing a friend's Cornish and hopefully a few of my extra roosters. But also have to finish planting the garden.

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Wow, this thread has really become inactive compared to when I used to be more active on it. If I didn't check for a few days, there'd be several pages I'd missed. Well, it might just be you're all busy like I usually am. Or I prefer using IG to post photos & updates about the farm. Plus the...

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    Yes I think so. Now I remember - it was in Ava, NY - when it was a public event. I got iris, strawberries, comfrey (that's huge too ) from a you and someone else. That's the first time I went to a Chickenstock. We'd just moved the previous November & I wanted to add to my garden. Last year we...

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    Sounds like your hatch is going well! :jumpy I hope you get a nice variety from my eggs and not too many roosters. I usually donate one dozen for the raffle, but between the hens not cooperating and eating egg customers, I had a short supply. Sounds like a fun variety and the only ones I...

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    I was nice chatting with fellow poultry lovers on such a gorgeous day! I'm excited to see what hatches from the raffle eggs! I didn't expect to win them all, but it was a pleasant surprise! :love The Spitz pullets and chicks I brought are settling in after their long ride home. The dogs slept...

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    I might be interested ... as they sound like "eye candy" chickens! It's not like I need more, but I never know what'll come home with me.‍♀️ I usually end up with more than I went with, but some of my favorites have been from previous Chickenstocks!

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    :ya Yes I'm looking forward to seeing you all again! I changed what I'll be bringing - a caprese pasta salad and bag of chips, plus the other things I mentioned. I probably won't bring hatching eggs besides those requested as they're recovering from being on strike & I have too many egg...

    I might be interested in Spitz pullet(s), since I just love the two I have. My blue hen throws 80% roosters, plus I don't have any silver Spitz. So I think it's time to add another Spitz or two. ;)

    2018 NY Chickenstock

    Looking forward to chickenstock! I'm not exactly sure how many chicks (maybe started pullet chicks ?) I'll be bringing, just depends on sales between now and then. And hopefully my blue Eggers will be laying enough to bring for Grammachick. Though this year has been crazy & I still have...
