Well shoot! I guessed that might happen, for the safety of the guests and the exhibitors. Thank you for updating on here!

Hoppy--thanks for letting me know! I'm not lookin to buy just yet, but thought it would be nice to see the birds in person and see what we might want when we ae ready. Pictures are great, but nothing beats seeing them in real life. :) I just didn't want to make the trip and find them all off to...

Does anyone know if the Windsor fair will still have a poultry exhibit thought tomorrow? It looks like they are open tomorrow but I don't know if its worth the ride for the last day. (Don't wanna make the trip to find a stripped down version of the fair).

Ill have to check that out!

Aw good luck with the little one! I hope he makes it to the weekend (and beyond!) so he can get a name! I hope you have good news to share on your little guy later in the week :)

Well thanks for the info! I was in the Mardens in Gray this past weekend and was looking to see if they had the chicken-wire I wanted..naturally they had about EVERYTHING else! I was thinking the Scarborough one would likely have more options than the smaller Gray one. I forgot to even think of...

Lazy gardener--I'm not sure I've heard of those stores before! Ill have to check online an see where they are located. I love in the greater Portland area. Ill keep my fingers crossed, I certainly don't mind used!

Lazy gardener--thanks for the advice. Most of that we have in the works for this weekend. I planned to scout out for those packing crates (we live near a John deer dealership) so I was hoping to grab some of those. Our stop Saturday is the Bargain Barn to see what they have for cheap (imperfect)...

Welcome! Sounds like you will be kept quite busy with your chickens! This site will definitely be useful for you. I'm still pretty new and I have found so much advice/help. It's been great.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your girls falling to a predator! Hopefully you can figure out what is doing it and put a stop to it. We live near the woods, and planning our coop has been much tougher than I imagined, trying to come up with the types of predators and then how to keep them out. I...

Welcome! I'm glad you are coming here with expertise already :) Forums aren't too difficult to pick up, and BYC has proven to be very helpful for me (a chicken newbie).

Just randomly posting here--I was wondering if I was still serious about the chickens because we haven't built anything yet (lack of immediate expendable income). I went on craigslist to see what was out there and, maybe, two or three entries down I was whining at my fiance "I want I want I...

Glad I'm not alone in how I rationalize all my "healthy" eating.. :)

I may have to go then! It's about an hour and a half from me, but I got to get out of work early today and thought maybe id go learn something :)

I'm thinking about heading up to the Windsor fair today... It may be a very lonely party of one at the fair. Is the poultry barn worth the trip? :)

You have a flock very similar to what I want! I want a couple barred rocks and golden comets at least. Then I was thinking a couple Wyandottes might be nice. I think my biggest challenge will be picking a rooster that I feel confident in...haha

That. Is. Amazing. I am going to go over there and look at that RIGHT NOW! Thank you

I seriously hope that we can get our stuff built up and get some soon! I have seen several people that are selling mature chicks (whatever they are) that aren't quite ready to lay, but are out of the brooder, which is right up my alley I think! Several breed varieties too. Now we have to decide...

It sounds like you live near me and if you want more, there is someone on Craigslist selling 9 wk old Golden Comets. We aren't ready to have them yet (which stinks because I want them SO bad). So if you are interested I would be happy to give you the link .

Also, any thoughts on Golden Comets in Maine? I've seen a post on here about them being reliable layers, but those people are from the more southern states, so the level of cold their chickens experience vs up here is VERY different.
