Someone my have already asked this, but I cannot find much online, does anyone know any good reputable breeders in MA that sell chicks? Never buying from TS again, and was looking for some newer breeds to add to my flock.
If not, we will order online and if so, anyone from MA have experiences with chickens getting shipped in? Just worried about the weather and the distance from most other hatcheries. Planning to order around Marc—April if that makes a difference

If you don't plan on buying chicks from TSC again, I'd recommend going the route of hatching your own eggs (if fertile), or buying fertile eggs and hatching with a broody/incubator. I sell hatching eggs if you're interested.

I’ve had very good luck with the chicks I’ve ordered and received from The Farmer’s Exchange in Townsend.

anyone know any farms with fertile eggs available? preferably little to no waitlist, but obviously quality over speed!

I sell fresh, quality fertilized eggs from my mixed flock. Are you interested?

How is everyone doing in the Ice today ???

 

[Wee Farmer Sarah]

It's a gross sloppy mess out there. What looks like a coating of snow is actually a coating of sleet. There are icy puddles everywhere and there's nowhere for the water to drain. I've been using a boatload of pine shavings trying to sop up the wetness in the covered chicken run. It never really dried out from the blowing snow of the last blizzard. However, egg production is really going now and I need to find another customer. How are you doing @tigger19687?

By the way, there was 5 to 6 inches of icy slush/snow on the ground before the blizzard dumped another 7 inches on top of that. It rained all day yesterday and just made more slush. I still love New England!
