New Englanders! Much ado about New England!
Hi Moxiechick-welcome to the 'hood. You will find tons of chicks all over southern Maine come spring. I recommend buff orps for their winter hardiness here in midcoast Maine. They are the first out of the coop after a snow, like today. I'll be shoveling them a path when the white stuff stops...- maine chicks

Spook-Sorry to hear of your loss. You are so right about the healthy eggs we get from free range chickens. Plus we get the benefit of Vitamin D being outside taking care of them. Yes, the sunshine vitamin is finally here in Maine .- maine chicks

Seqer-You will want to be sure your ark breaths in winter and can still stay draft free and dry. Will you have are warm area that you can heat a little bit if the temps stay below freezing? I use a 40 watt light bulb to take the chill off. It also keeps the water from freezing most nights. So...- maine chicks

I'm getting my birds life vests so they can leave the coop. Should have gotten ducks this year. Do live chickens get mildew???- maine chicks

Beautiful Buffs-That is what I'm adding to my flock this spring and I can't wait. I guess the wild turks will just be a passing thing. Last spring my dog used to chase a momma and her chicks when they got too close to the house. Am I correct that they will be fine as long as none of my chicken...- maine chicks

Hey Spook-how is your girl doing? Has anyone had trouble with wild turkeys? They seem to be trying to sneak into the run when my girls are free ranging. I have read that I shouldn't mix turkeys with chickens or guineas. Will it be a problem if they are running in the same areas??- maine chicks

Hi All-took a few days off to the south and came back home to no snow! The Easter Bunny was very happy to not have to hide eggs in snowbanks this year. My chicks are ordered and I'm just waiting for the May babies to arrive. The rest of the flock is happy with weeds and grass popping up and the...- maine chicks

Beautiful bird and beautiful mudless/snowless ground. Right on the coast we still have 6 inches in the woods-go into town and the piles are huge ten miles inland. Went to Vermont a couple weeks ago and I couldn't believe how little snow there was compared to Maine. You guys got some heaters...- maine chicks

This snow is too darn heavy-knocked all my netting down. Didn't have time to get it out today cuz I spent the day shoveling three places(house sitting for neighbors) because it was too wet for the snow blower. Now it will be frozen in until who knows when and the hawks are already buzzing the...- maine chicks

Oxford area isn't that far from mid-coast as the crow flies. Chickens might take a little longer but still very doable.- maine chicks

I'm in Harpswell-outside of Brunswick. Any chicken lovers should try to get hold of the book, Martha to the Rescue" by Janet Bonney. She is the Harpswell lady known all over for saving a frozen chicken. She is the same lady on the PBS program History of the Chicken. Any place you have a swop...- maine chicks

My girls hurried out the door this morning as soon as I got the path shoveled. Bright sunshine and a nice dusting hole under the coop made their day. Mine get grit when they go under to dust. Hope we can stay above the single digits for a few days. I shoveled last night only to wake up to 4 more...- maine chicks

Just found this spot. Southern mid-coast Maine here. A little chilly but most of our snow washed away the other night. Only about 4-5 inches left with a nice ice topping. I guess we can't complain looking at what folks get in the north west and central states. I'm thumbing through the seed...- maine chicks
