Avian Flu back & in MA?

[ShrekDawg]

I guess some go just to see that. I actually haven't been there in years. Probably because I lived close.

That makes sense but is sort of weird because people hatch chicks all the time, go find a farm or breed your own or something hahah but yeah, me neither, I went years ago with a friend, I think it may have been middle school or high school, it must have been high school cause I thought we were pretty old hah but I graduated in 2012 and we weren't friends senior year so either way it was a long time ago hahah I'd like to go back eventually but not until this clears up

I've been so many times and the traffic on a daily basis is ridiculous. So we all usually stay home. No chickens= no fun there! Lol

 

[ShrekDawg]

That's very true! The traffic was so bad I remember and even at our little local fair it's bad so probably even worse haha and haha trueeee!!

Are you in W. Mass or Eastern? Just sorta cool to talk to local chicken owners.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Eastern! On the south shore. I definitely agree though! I haven't talked to many, maybe I will go join one of the state threads. Also, I'm from Eastern but I've been out there a lot because my brother used to go to UMass Amherst (now he's in grad school somewhere else) and I've been to Six Flags a few times. But mostly my brother and the fact my dog came from a family farm somewhere out there it's nice out there but so far away. anyways, hi! Hahah

Very nice! I'm in Palmer, it's about 25 min or so from Worcester. We have a flock of 11 and 3 chicks currently inside.

Oh nice! I love babies. These are our first, as well. Hatched in March, April, May, and Nov. What breeds do you have? We have a mix of everything. Lol

Me too! They're too cute! They grow so fast though! And oh wow, you have a pretty big variety! Ours were all hatched the same time, October 26th. We have a mix of everything too! Lol 1 Barred Rock, 2 Black Australorps, 3 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Easter Eggers. Guess that's not that much variety after all hah I went back and forth on just getting like 1 each of 8 breeds but settled on pairs I really wanted Speckled Sussex too and was considering Wyandotte but they didn't have either. maybe next year or the year after

 

[Jujubara]

We have 1 each of: Brown Leghorn, White Leghorn, Speckled Sussex, DL Barnevelder, mottled Cochin bantam, Partridge Cochin, Buff Brahma bantam, Easter Egger, Rhode Island Red ( production red) rooster, and 2 silkies. The three chicks we just hatched a month ago are Mille Fleur D'Uccles, and cute as can be!
