I may need a home for a couple of chickens. I am moving and cannot take them all with me (moving to Burlington). I MIGHT have someone taking them from my work (not sure yet), but I wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone could if this other person falls through? I have one BCM rooster...
If anyone is interested, I have some extra Speckled Sussex and EE chicks for sale. They are sexed pullets from Mt Healthy Hatchery. 3 weeks old this Wednesday. Send me a pm if you might be interested, thanks!
I will get a picture of him later today. I think that he will develop into a large bird, but I'm not sure (I am not good at guessing chicken age!) I work at the Hinesburg vet office - someone in Charlotte or Hinesburg (not sure which) found him.

Ok, thanks! I would be ready sometime early next week, if that is okay I really enjoy having the chickens around (the horses seem to enjoy their company too!) and they are quite addicting!
Keara,
That would be fantastic! I have been contemplating getting one or two more, since I have plenty of room and I would really like at least a couple eggs per month
I have not tried wooden eggs, but I have tried a golf ball & easter eggs as ploys. I haven't heard any "egg songs" lately...
Hi, I just recently acquired my first four hens this spring! I live in Bristol, VT. Since then, I have gotten two youngsters and one juvenile rooster. They free range around my house and hang out with my two horses. However, my hens have decided that it is more fun to explore than to lay...
