2014 New York Chickenstock

[Lynzi777]

I think it's worth mentioning that Tab and Travis are hosting, so be sure there will be plenty of space if you intend to bring a boat load of chicks/chickens.  I'd also suggest only bring what you have presold. 

Those were the terms I believe before this list was even generated - we will not be bringing what is not spoken for just to have to drag it back with us.

Well I just wanted to be sure.
Cuz, all chicks/chickens/ ducklings/ducks/ rabbits/bunnies etc. etc. brought that have NOT been spoken for previous to bringing them will be confiscated by ME!

(except silkies)

I certainly didn't mean to imply I would be bringing his whole farm! just thought since I'm already bringing some pre-sold ones for someone else that others might be interested in his breeds. My jeep can only hold so many chicks comfortably & I would have to buy them from him upfront anyway. I love his wide selection of breeds so I just wanted to put the offer out there for anyone who might be interested. I don't meant to step on anyone's toes...!! I've had a couple inquiries about my post so far and will share with everyone: this simply a husband/wife small farm that I prefer to get my chicks from; he has been working with chickens for nearly 60 years, since he was a little boy. I haven't pressed exactly where he gets chicks from simply because I've been so happy with the quality of chicks I've gotten from him so far (bear in mind- I am a rookie so I might not have as sharp an eye for "show quality" as some more experienced). He also sexes them for me which is great. Sometimes he can be wrong, but will trade you back a pullet for the roo (not too helpful for those who are farther away I suppose). From my understanding he gets chicks weekly from breeders and hatcheries. So he is more of a distributor/caretaker I suppose. So anyone who is against hatchery chicks should just disregard my offerings.

I know that silly.

But I wanted to be clear and I'm not implying that any unsold chicks/chickens etc.etc. will be confiscated and coming home with me? This goes for fruit trees and plants as well. The silkies told me to do it.

 

[Tab's chicken obsession]

Our place has space so I'm not too worried about more birds. I worry about shade and water dishes for them. Tents and dishes are good idea to bring if possible and then we'll put those who don't have tents in what shade we have.

I plan on putting whatever extra birds I have out for sale at the event. I don't have to pack them back into a vehicle.

Just wanted to share a picture of the Silkie/Cochin cross pair I've decided to part with. I love these two but I just don't see them working with what I want to focus on this summer. They are a beautiful black and mottled with gorgeous green sheens to them. So soft too! ;-)

I would love another bantam hen, silkie, Cochin, ect not picky just would like a fluffy bantam if anyone has one they want to part with, show quality not important

Well the two I just posted are super soft, will have the smooth feathering as you can see like a cochin but will also have some of the traits a silkie does (crest feathers, 5 toes, feathered feet) However I would like the two to go together as a pair rather than getting stuck with a roo when I'll already 4 or 5.

They look so beautiful but I already have a roo and one girl friend for him just trying to find one or 2 more
