I’m looking for some feed back from someone more knowledgeable than myself on electric fencing. It appears I have a bear that has discovered it can bust out a plexiglass/hardwired cloth window in my smaller stilted coop and have a buffet of chicken. I’m looking for a electric fence system that...
Hey guys, I’m just over the border in NH in Sullivan county. I have a feather legged black copper Marans cockerel if anyone is interested. I’d be willing to drive him over one of the bridges to meet if needed. If interested just send me a message
I have a feather legged black copper Maran cockerel that I am looking to get rid of. He is from Laurel Meadows Farm in Ohio that I hatched out on April 1. If anyone’s interested in him let me know. I would like to get a few bucks out of him if possible, but I’d be open to a trade for a pullet...
Not at all, thank you for passing this along! I'm hoping for a good group of people to share their birds in a common thread where we can all look around and see whats available locally!
Hey all, I hope everyone is staying safe in this lovely weather today. I started a thread today following months of researching and looking around for where I could locate some chickens locally. I figured I would share the link here and see if we can't get some content into that thread and share...

Hi there,
My apologies if this is a redundant topic, but I have searched high and low for months now in an effort to track down some local people in the New England region, particularly NH, who are looking to sell/swap eggs/chicks.
I have been researching much of the winter looking at...
During the snap when it was -20s and didn't get above 0 here in NH, I personally thawed out our visibly cracked eggs and cooked them with some left over veggies, let them cool and gave them back to the chickens. I couldn't let them out when it was that cold, so it gave them something to snack...
Hey NH people, I've scoured this site and other searches looking to try to locate local breeders for chickens. I personally have gotten my hands on another coop, and was looking to add even more diversity to my flock this spring. As things wind down for the fall/winter, I was hopeful to do even...
Hey there, I'm from NH as well and have 22 chickens now, mixed breeds of hens and a barnyard mix rooster from a friend down the road. I joined for much the same reason. My girlfriend was from Cape Cod and always wanted chickens. What was going to be 8 or so hens, turned into 21 as a result of...
They're 18-19 weeks now and still favor roosting up there instead of the other roosting bars I placed in. I had a series of lower roosts that I placed down low when they were about 6 weeks old and would move up as they could fly better, then one day I found them all roosted up on the 2x4s and...
Hey everyone, I have found myself in a bit of predicament as my brother and I built my coop with lean to design, 8'L x 6'W with the 2X4 braces running 4.5ft H around the length of the coop. As my chicks grew up, they began roosting on the 2x4 that runs the length of the coop horizontally. I have...
I see they will truly eat whatever they feel like eating! I have a 3D archery target deer in the yard. I went to do some practice shooting and the front leg just broke and the target fell to the ground. I walked up and noticed the hens had been chipping away bit by bit at the highest point they...
That's what I was thinking would be an easy fix, thank you.
On that note, I have 6 different breeds, but all within 2 weeks of age(18-20wk). With some laying potentially any day now, and others still having several weeks to go, given their breed, would people recommend continuing grower feed...
This may not be the place for this question, but figured I'd throw it out there. I have a few hens of age and are getting real red, leading me to think they're going to be laying soon. I have the nesting boxes in with golf balls at the moment. I let my hens free range much of the day, and they...
