Hi! I am just getting back to being active on here - moved to Mexico NY (North of Syracuse/E. of Oswego) right before the snow hit in Nov. What have you got, to swap or otherwise? I would love to meet like-minded chicken obsessed folks locally. By the way, how does one pm on here now...
So, I picked a heck of a year to move farther North...
Hi NYCLs, I'm back on the Forum after a crazy summer and fall of buying my farmette /mini-farm/ 2⅓ Acres Paradise... Now under 5+ feet of yummy Lake Effect snow! (I moved from Binghamton to between Oswego & Syracuse)
Holy fajitas people...
I think Lazy Gardener was referring to the vlog "Swedish Homestead" & if you haven't already seen it you should check it out! Here's a recent one concerning their Chickens ~
Also, I see a lot of folks recommended EE's/Easter Eggers. Just so there's no confusion I love Easter Eggers I have had...
Hey there, just catching up -again- thanks! Yes the chaos only gets deeper here, as the paperwork keeps getting closer to the signing. And yes, there's a homemade henhouse with fenced run aleady onsite as the previous owner had about a dozen birds, and that's a big reason I decided to make an...
Dang!
I had it on my calendar and everything!
It is a really crazy time here too though and I had limited success trying to get my housemate/helper excited about driving me out to a chick-a-holic gathering in the hot weather.
Still, I'll be moving this Autumn to Mexico, NY, near Syracuse and...
I would like to getin on that too. I am hoping to sign on a house with 4 1/2 scrubby acres in Mexico, NY - North of SYR, in the next month. Next year I too will be looking for a tick-eating army to assist the urban flock of chickens I currently have. ~Trish

Those are some gorgeously strange birds! I love that you named the roo Lurch...u
that little pullet looks like a mini vulture, a Vulturette? Very striking.
Congrats on a successful (5:1!) hatch!
Damn. I would like to, but I'm in Upstate NY. I wouldn't normally suggest shipping such a stressed out bird... Though, if you find out how to ship an adult bird & consider it as an option, let me know the cost of shipping & I'll tell you if I can swing it
I am trying to get together a flock of...
Hooray! This has been my go-to solution as well, even at several weeks brooding, sticking fertile eggs under the hen seems like the best 'natural' choice.
Waterboarding" my hens in the past has disturbed me at least as much as it did them. I have tried that "ice bucket challenge" version on a...
used text. thanks... haven't quite figured out how to PM in the New & Improved Forums here yet.
And wouldn't you know it, the situation seems to have improved a little since I put it out there. Please let me know if you are still going to be in town today?
We had a pile of worms last year, I did use Ivermectin then repeated 10 days later. Scarred for life. EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
True dat! I had my first experience with this last month... A pullet on her first manic broody episode made a gigantic mess in the crate/broody box I had put her in...
That there is probably the only reason I would have either of the breeds: "Showgirls" just look cool as heck in that ugly/cute punky/edgy sort of way.
***Chickens at Hot Topic!***:cool:
Is anybody up for a round of "name that chick"?
Here are photos I took yesterday off the 3 surviving chicks my Banty Broodies hatched out of eggs from Chickengirl15...
the big black chick hatched out of either a light brown or a green egg... (I think this is BCM over Australorp, {it's...
