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 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

How old is he? My spring chicks are adolescent now & I haven't heard a crowing yet. Wondering when .

@featherz 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!

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...

https://www.alleycat.org/our-work/trap-neuter-return/ Alley Cat Allies highlights the practice of Trap/Neuter/Return aka "spay & stay" for feral cat colonies... I suppose it would work just as well for barn kitties. My neighbors have gone gung-ho into this - I'm right in the city - and in the...

Public Service Announcement: Vestal TSC has marked down/older Silkie chicks.looks like all of them are white.

Welcome! I did pretty much the same thing, and even hanging out with a friend who had chickens on her hobby farm didn't push me over the edge, until... My research revealed some breeds lay blue eggs. Blue eggs?!? I had to see that for myself! I had my first four Ameraucanas within a month...

Hi all, trying to catch up! (This is a copy of my earlier post from the Chickenstock 2017 list...) I have a bantam Wyandotte who just went broody. Does anyone have a half dozen bantam eggs I could buy / beg / borrow or bum? Or, failing that, I may order hatching eggs & have wee chicks at...

It's an urban winter wonderland in Binghamton. Meanwhile, in my hen pen, the banties are the brave ones. The LF all seem gobsmacked by the ice age that's rolled in overnight/tue.a.m. mini-cochin makes good use of her snowshoes.

This is the forum they made for the upcoming 2017 Chickenstock. It is a _much_ shorter forum than here and quicker to catch up on ;-) Ny-chicken-lover chickenstock '17

:caf Greetings one & all, I've had some "Life" happening here in balmy Binghamton, so I have been M.I.A. from this and other internet contacts for too long. I'm over a hundred pages behind on this list alone! :sick [Long story short, I'm a disabled veteran with Parkinson's. I have an old...

^^^. YEAH, WHAT SHE SAID ^^^ Pyxis, you're a saint. Those poor little chickens must be so confused. What are you treating the scaly leg mite with? I had some EEs once upon a time that had it, though not as bad as your foundlings. I gave each a warm soàk in blue Dawn sudsy water & then a clean...

Greetings all, I've been out of the loop lately but I'm catching up on the reading here -22+ pages-. I like your New Year's sentiment, boskelli, I hope you don't mind my copying it May the coming year bring you all many joys and blessings, and May the sorrows of the old year fade with it...

@rancher hicks I get up to Syracuse for VA appointments sometimes, usually at least once month. If there's anything I can do to help out you & your wife, family, etc (though I have no idea what) , I would be happy to try. Even if it is something as simple as getting together for lunch or...

@Beer can I don't think I even want to know -how- you got a silkie/Giant cross, the mechanics of that just makes my brain hurt. But I love the gypsy-ish wattles in that white face!
