BYC members in Massachusetts?

[Sue-Sue48]

I am in Western MA - a beginner and will be looking for started pullets soon!

 

[Chixme]

Are there any BYC members in Massachusetts? Or am I all alone?

Sorry I’m in So. California

Hi , I’m from Massachusetts. I have 4 chickens at the moment and hoping to get some more.

Happy news, I saw a flock of Robins in Marlborough, MA two days ago. Spring is coming!

Hi all!
I have a couple silkie roosters I am looking to rehome- my flock is too small to keep all of them. If anyone is interested I’m in the Newburyport area. Photos attached!

Hello! It’s been quite a while since I’ve last posted

I’m looking to get two or three new chicks this season from the Essex County co-op in Topsfield, MA but it looks like they have a minimum chick order of 6 and thats more than I can have space for (I already have a four hen flock).

Would anyone nearby be interested in ordering two or three chicks with me to meet the minimum of 6? Or is anyone already planning on ordering chicks from the Essex County co-op and wouldn’t mind adding an extra three to their order

Not sure how many BYC members are in the Topsfield area but figured it was worth a shot!

Hers the order form for information on breeds available:

If you don't mind a little road trip to Salem NH you could go to Dodge Grain. They have no minimum on chicks so you can just get 3-4. I wouldn't get fewer than 3. Here's the link to their website. Just click on poultry calendar to see what they have in now and what's expected in the next few weeks.

Oooh thank you this place looks very good!

We've been happy with the chicks we've got there over the years. You can help pick out specific ones if you want too. And they have started pullets if you don't want to go the chick route. They had a lot of pretty EEs there last fall.

Okay so I know it’s kind of bad timing with the whole Coronavirus thing going on and everyone staying home but does anybody need or would be willing to take some cockerels?

I have a bunch that are starting to get on my nerves! LOL

They’re good boys, not aggressive or anything, but just have too many and they’re starting to get hormonal and crow, be interested in the girls, etc. so some of them need to go.

I want to rehome 5 of them. I have a Black Australorp, an Andalusian, an Easter Egger, a Rhode Island Red, and a Welsummer. They are all about 17 weeks old (will be on Friday) and I hatched them myself in November from eggs I got from Meyer Hatchery. They’ve only ever been on my property.

IMO they are all really pretty so hopefully someone wants to give them a good home but I’m not opposed to people eating them either. Just don’t want to do it myself.

I’m on the south shore near Kingston, Plymouth, etc. and pretty close to both the Plympton and Hanover TSC. I’m willing to meet somewhere or deliver them or whatever.

They’re free unless someone wants to pay. I just need them gone ASAP. Figured I would try posting them here before Craigslist.

Thanks for taking the time to read all this.
