BYC members in Massachusetts?

I know I do. The town next to me was in the news for chicken keeping problems, I believe the lady involved had to hire a lawyer due to nasty neighbours. Hoping to avoid that...

I don't know if I'm supposed to have a permit and I don't want to know either.
Anyway, I got 6 EGGS today!! A new record! !

Woot! I got 6 too

I am sorry not to respond sooner. I have a hard time getting in here now. That 'remember me' has alzheimers.
I will try to get in with a picture of the one chick I have that looks good for the mottling. Very nice toes.
I do not know many people here. Single parent, farming and working at the PO has me socializing very little but I might check out that little garden now. Thank you for the heads up on that. Iam currently on the look out for a new rental to allow our dog and chickens. The land lord is returning from California. So far the locals are helping out a bit. Here is an Orloff baby to hold you over

New here, thought I'd introduce myself! Metrowest Boston, new to chickens after a long time wanting/researching. Last year we moved across town (smaller house/bigger yard) which means...it's time! Our Dept of Health guy signed off on us Thurs, and we had the coop and chicks by Sat, no moss growing here.

We have a sunlamp/dog grate brooder with 2 silkies/2 barred rock/ 2 ISA browns (cross RI red and white).

Up today: trying to find a few pastel layers like Amercaunas/Araucanas to add to the kennel (or raise in adjacent and integrate soon) while they're young and (hopefully) will still play nice.

Anyone know a MA farm that might have them?

Glad to be here for the support and camaraderie!
Cheers,
Nic

Thanks! I popped over (they aren't far away) and though they don't have them now, getting them in 4/27, and placed an order. Appreciate it, Kris!

I really thought I was done shovelling for the year. But, I just came inside from shovelling another path to the chicken coup.

It's snowing here too! Did yesterday too but yesterday is melted by the afternoon. This seems to be sticking at least a few inches.

 

[Lozuufy]

We have about 6 inches here

My chickens and ducks are NOT happy about it
