Hi, I am in Billerica, Mass. We just got our first hens last month when they were about 8 weeks old, now they are 12 weeks.  Originally we wanted Silkies, preferably sexed since we cannot have roosters in our town, and Americaunas but could not find them around here. We ended up with a Delaware, a Buff Orpington and a Black Star. I think they are good breeds and I am enjoying getting to know their personalities and gaining their trust. I would still love to get Silkies in the future so I am planning on setting up another coop/run for them. It's hard to find someone reputable that has them around 6-8 weeks or older but maybe in a year or two I will have better luck. I guess I will just have to take my chances and hope I do not end up with a rooster!

 

I have silkies they just hatch 12/7/13

Welcome, Brent!

I envy you, buff Orpingtons are such a sweet, mellow, pleasingly round breed.

I love the mellowness of the buff orpingtons and the speckled sussex. I only have a few hens at POL as I sold a few of the extra pullets already. I so have a few SS just starting to lay if you are interested. I'm just east of you at the end of the Central Turnpike. Send me a pm if you are interested.

I'm in Carlisle....

Does anyone have fertile eggs????
We have a flock of 5. 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Buff Orp, 1 Speckled Sussex and 1 Silkie who is 7 months and not crowing or laying....

Looking to expand with some new chickens. I don't want any more than 15 eggs to hatch. Not looking for show quality just some chickens that produce a variety of eggs.

Here is a list of some eggs we are interested in but certainly not limited to.

Blue Favaucana
Cream Legbar
Black Copper Marans
Mille Fleur d'Uccle
Easter Egger


I don't want to go through the mail. I would like to stay local.

Any help would be appreciated.
