This is a totally off topic, but do any of your chicken raisers also maintain honey hives? The Hubster and I are looking at doing hives but have no idea if there are any associations or clubs here in the North Country part of NY... I am located in Evans Mills
My sentiments exactly, the whole time we have lived here, had no problems and no issues of losing our flock to any predators.. Then we have new neighbors that moved in down the road to the east of us and sure as crap lost half my laying flock to their husky... I kept wondering why my chikens...
Been a long busy summer.... hope everyone is well.... we have been busy culling the flock from the year old roosters that are way to sexually aggressive on the hens.... so peace is being restored to the barn yard... anyone experience this with their chickens? This is a first for us in over 5...
Meant to add in my last post if the chickenstock get together is open to all? Hubster and I would like to meet n get to know the folks of NY chicken lover thread. Most our friends here in the north country are dairy so it be nice to talk chicken with others.
Beautiful wolf.... and am sorry for the loss of such a beloved member of your family.
OK moving forward... I have been meaning to ask if there are any NY members here in the north country besides us we are evans mills area.
BTW: totally get how annoying craigslist can be.
Afternoon everyone, been a exciting weekend and Monday here at the farmstead.. Butchered a few mean ol roos and one innocent bystander and then our batch of Cucko Marans and Polish arrived this morning.. How is everyone else doing this fine Monday day
Hey guys,
Been a very very long time, but the hubster returned from deployment in December and its been non stop at our farmstead, been thinking about the BYC and the NEW YORK THREAD and hubster is encouraging me to get back on here and reacquaint our family with y'all.
Hello I am Jeannie...
I have a evil White Leghorn Roo that is gonna make the pot very soon.. He is mean and will just as soon attack you then even look at you... He is teaching bad manners to a Buff Orp roo who is now showing the same temperment as him.. Is that possible? Our other roos are pretty nice and laid back...
