You're about an hour south of me. Welcome to BYC. The best part of joining is that all those questions rattling around in your head that you thought were dumb, have probably already been asked and answered. Makes you feel kinda normal, not kinda dumb.

What is GVCM, please?

Ezziemae: from a fellow WNYer! I'm from Machias. Between Springville and Arcade. Enjoy the addition.

Hi everybody! Long time, no type. First off, where are you guys that had the heat wave break? We're in Western N.Y. and are still getting temps in the 90*-100* range. My chickens don't like water of any kind falling on their heads, so I couldn't even spray them down. (I now know what a...

BTW: To anyone who sells at auctions: How and when do you get paid? I've only been to one and am going to check out a couple more in the fall. I understand the concept of tailgate sales, but what about auctions. I was reading the consignment directions for the one in Batavia, and I thought it...

Has anybody tried selling in the buy/sell forums on here? We have a couple of roos that have to go. They pestered the heck out of the smallest roo, and now the poor thing hangs out with the "chicken eating" dog instead of his own kind. Otherwise they're going to auction.

Rancher Hicks: I'm sure my Husband and I would go. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we could probably make arrangements.

to your family. We all feel terrible for you and your daughter. Everyone here has been through it. My best advice to your daughter is to help out with any other chickens ( or other animals) you have. Keeping the mind busy will easy the heart ache for a while. But there should be one rule: no one...

Hi Little Six Chicks We went to the Bath auction. BIG mistake, lol. I only brought home some S/L wyandotte chicks, but I could have brought back two truckloads of critters. We wound up being around Batavia last Saturday, so we stopped by to see what was up. It was over before 12:30pm. I was...

Quote: I can just imagine one of them getting up and leaving a puddle of stripes on the ground.

The woman in the pink crocs!? Are you kidding me?! Wait,which one? My hubby is the one who is dragging ME to the fall auction lol. The whole way home, he kept saying "That was cool. I didn't know the were things like this. That was too cool. We gotta go again"He's got the bug worse than me.He's...

Long Last Farm and westernnychickens! This is a great site and you'll get a lot from it. We went to the Bath auction. Just got some S/L wyandotte chicks. That's only because my Husband took my number, so I couldn't bid on anything for a while. I wish I'd checked the forum before we left. I...

amymitelli Yes, it's an adiction, lol We're going to Bath tomorrow. I'll keep an eye open for any announcments. My Husband has already got a plan "B". If it turns out to be a bust, well, we will be going right by the casino. Maybe I can win enough to order some chicks. A tailgate sale in...

Amy, have you tried Gold Bond lotions? I worked in a national chain pet store taking care of the animals. We tried everything; Kerr, Eucerin, Jergens, you name it. Even prescription stuff. None of them made a dent. But Gold Bond really works. It worked for everybody. I like the healing formula...

O.K. The neighbors just left. They called yesterday for advice about chicks. We offered them some of the babies we have (8 wks.), but they wanted chicks. Went to TSC and got six "pullets" for $1.20 each. Chick days are almost over and TSC isn't going to order any more, that's why they're...

I will try to condense my thoughts: Riverhen You're gonna like it here! Tajmahal(Amy) So sorry about your turkey. We have seen alot more fox this year too. I don't like to keep the guns loaded ( it's a saftey thing with me), but they sell these bandalero things that go over the butt stock to...

shannonpixie When we were looking, we made a list of the types of things that we wanted in a property. After looking around at what was out there, we hired a realtor. They know, or know how to find out about the towns or villages you're interested in. Sometimes, they come up with totally...

OK, I thought it was just me. Hubby and I were talking about that the other day. If my only contact with chickens was hatching eggs, I would be happy. It is just too cool. As a matter of fact, I think I may have talked him into letting me get eggs from someone else. "Oh, but honey, you can't...

Quote: Interesting indeed.Plaid eggs? Bald with mohawks and mutton-chops? It could be a new breed. I can't wait to see them.

I just checked my McMurray catalog. Those chicks definately looked more like black sex links than australorps. They were black with a spot of cream under their chins. But I'm still kinda new to all this, so who knows what they could have been. Could have been peachicks for all I know. Now ask me...
