    Want to move, start anew in upstate NY, and own a hobby farm, with barely any experience

    Thank you so much for the reply, and we're aware of horrible winters. Way too many winters have been spent cooped up without electric or heat because of hurricanes, but I'm guessing they aren't as much as a problem there? (We live coastal) Also, we're thinking about taking a trip up there and...

    Want to move, start anew in upstate NY, and own a hobby farm, with barely any experience

    Now, I may not be the owner of my house, but I've definitely influenced her decision in moving. She wants to move upstate, to the country-side. She says "Do whatever you want with animals, but just don't leave the job to me!" Our house on Long Island can net us about 500-600k. That seems like...

    Silkiecuddles Chat Thread!!! ANYBODY welcome!!!

    Hey there, the name's Mia! I've been wanting to get more friends who love chickens like me! I was thinking about sewing my chickens something, like maybe little hats? Though, I think they'd hate me if I ever made them wear it. Anyway, anyone got a way to keep your chickens cool? I've been...

    Chicken Breeders on Long Island?

    Oh yes, Long Island poultry! I know of them, but they've seem to be done with the year. They also have all hatchery grade chicks, and I was looking for breeder quality. But, thank you for posting!

    Chicken Breeders on Long Island?

    Hello there! I've been raising chickens for more than a year now, with 6 of them in my flock, and I absolutely ADORE them. Though... I've been wanting to add more! Do you guys know any breeders on Long Island? I was hoping for Polish, Silkies, and any fancy breeds, but all types of chicken...

    Silkie not doing anything!

    Yesterday, I purchased a gorgeous 5 month old blue silkie from a breeder. She seemed responsible, and all her chickens were very lively. She was obviously passionate about the subject. I bring the chicken home, and it just... stands. All day long. No walking, unless necessary, and only eating...

    Other Chicken-Lovers in Long Island, NY?

    Heyya! I happen to be in Northport, so we're not THAT far... am I the only one who gets questionable glances from people when I tell them I have chickens? It's seeming to get more popular, but it's not exactly like having a cat or a dog around here!

    Southern NY, Dutchess county and below

    Sorry to hear that, Irischick! Hawks are surprisingly not a problem here, even though they're everywhere. It's more foxes. I love german shepherds, and I'm glad you're enjoying her. I wish you luck on your property searching, it can be very tedious. Anyway, hello everyone! I live in Suffolk...

    Help! What should we do about the foxes?

    Alright, so a run will be best? And the fox will eventually move on? IF you were wondering, we have a pretty big shed for the chicken coop and no fences. Thank you so much for the advice! We'll look online on how to fox-proof it, and train the dog while we have them in the run, so maybe they'll...

    Help! What should we do about the foxes?

    We've been raising 8 beautiful chickens for 3 and a half months now, from just day old chicks. 2 Polish, 4 Easter Eggers, and 2 Silkies. We have never once had a problem with predators... until now, of course. First, our beloved Polish went missing. Though, we just thought she got lost. We...

    Hello, from New York!

    Hello everyone! I just joined BC, but I have been using it to answer all my chicken questions, so, I decided, why don't I join? I currently am a care-giver of 8 chicks, but 3 are actually going to a friend! Greetings to all of you, and I await my joyful time here! Our chicks are about 11 days...
