It's located in Bath, NY. I hear they have a ton of birds, but I've never been before. I'm thinking of going and was wondering if anyone else would be as well.

They have some nice breeds on the special order form, but I'd like to know where the come from. I know the chicks in the local store come from Mt.Healthy but considering they don't sell half the breeds on the order form I'm sure the chicks don't come from them. Has anyone order chicks through...

I need some bantam cochin hatching eggs to hatch out for February. Looking to buy at least a dozen (possibly more). Not looking for show quality, just nice birds to replace the ones my dog decided to chew on (he has since been banned from being let off leash until he learns plays nice). Please...

I have a $40 credit and I'm not sure what I want to get. I placed a late order last year and they were sold out of most of what I wanted. I expected they would be so it didn't bother me much and I didn't expect them to give me a credit, but they did! I was happy with their chicks, but I don't...

I placed a bit of a last minute order with Sand Hill Preservation Society when I saw their online summer special. So I ordered 50 of the chick assortment and tried to get some speckled sussex, BO, and dominiques. Unfortunately they were sold out but they did try and get me similar breeds and I...

My frizzle bantam cochin killed 4 of her chicks! She has been banned from the broody room and my other hen has taken over her duties. This is the second batch she's hatched out and she didn't do this with the first one. I'm so peeved. I can't believe she would do this after she so diligently...

I've wanted to host a chickenstock for a couple years now, but have not had the space to do so. Well now that we have our farm and are somewhat settled I think I can start to actually plan for one. I'm thinking sometime in July or early August of next year. While the main focus would be...

I'm looking to create my own dual purpose breed of chicken. I hatched out some eggs from the farmer up the road and I'm in love with the chicks I got. They are Buff Orpington/Dominique crosses - the Dominique roo who fathered them is massive he makes my BO roo look tiny. I'd like to breed them...

Bought these at the local auction today. The first two are part lion-head, but I've no idea what the grey one is.

I left the door to the temporary coop/woodshed open last night. I figured since my dog's run is right next to the chicken run I wouldn't have to worry about any predators. I DID NOT expect my dog to manage to dig out of her run and into the chicken's (she's never, ever dug holes in the 9 years...

I posted this chick when I first got it from Tractor Supply. I thought it was a sebright, but then as the feathers started to come in buff I thought it might be a bantam game bird. As it gets older it looks more and more like a sebright. Is there such a thing as a buff sebright? I've only seen...

Went to tractor supply today to see if they had any Black Australorps and ended up coming home with 7 mixed bantams instead. 5 of them I'm pretty certain are bantam cochins 3 of which I believe are frizzles. I think the other two are a polish and a sebright, but I could be wrong. I have bantam...

My husband stopped at TS on his way home to check and see if they had any of the breeds I want. This week they have RR, Commercial Blacks?, and Yellow Star Links? What is a Yellow Star Link? I asked my husband if he meant Yellow Sex Link or Golden Sex Link, but no he is certain they are...

Tumblr is currently down and I'm going through withdraw. Guess I will have to amuse myself over here on BYC until it's back up.

Does anyone have any plans for meat bird processing area. We have someone getting us a stainless steel table, and we are going to be getting a chicken plucker. I just want to set everything up in the most efficient manner. We have processed bird before, but that was only a couple at a time for...

... is satellite internet. It's not even cloudy today and it's still slower than death! I can barley do anything. It takes me a half hour to load a 4 minute youtube video.

I received 16 bantam cochin eggs in the mail today from Lacrystol and will I'm putting them in my hovabator genesis in the next few minutes! I had to get rid of my chickens when we moved and have been going through chicken withdrawal ever since. These guys should hatch out just in time for me to...

I had to get rid of my chickens when I moved and will be looking to replace them this spring. I had aussies and red sex linked layers before. I really liked the aussies and I'm looking to get at least 25 of them to start off my flock. I'm looking at buying from Meyer's, McMurray's, or Sand Hill...

We have rats. In our house and I'm sure in our barn. So what is the best way to get rid of the little buggers and keep them away. I don't want to use poison if I don't have to - I'm saving that as a last resort. We don't have chickens yet, and I don't want to get any until I have this...

Anyone else in the Chautauqua/Cattaraugus County NY area? My husband is already living there and I will be joining him is 2 weeks. I'm trying to find anyone with chickens or guineas in the area. We had to sell our flock when we moved and are looking to replace them. I'm also thinking of doing...
