Hi! I'm in sudbury, I ordered my flock from Breezy's bird farms and Grade eh farm! Very happy with both farms if you are looking for a specific breed in the future. Mine are all babies still... I'm going to be waiting a while for my first egg, but its fun watching them grow!

It is isn't it? They are so precocious the first few weeks.

Welcome. Sudbury is a beautiful area (now that the trees are back). My sister went to Laurentian.

Hello
I'm in the Belleville area of Ontario Canada, looking to add to my flock in the near future. Any suggestions of where I can find healthy young laying hens?

I am in sudbury and I got mine from breezy's bird farms and my auto sexing breeds i got from Grade eh farms. Its a little late in the season though i'm not sure if you'll have much luck. They also need to be flown in so I got chicks. I'm sorry I can't help you with any local options. But those are both great farms!

Hi
Originally I thought of adding to the flock in sept but life happens and now it looks like the spring when I will be adding 4. Will check out the 2 farms you mentioned - thanks for the info
 
My story is a funny one as I did not start out in late fall of 2018 to have a flock of chickens. However, due to having inherited the flock and coop from adopted daughter I somehow became the owner (mama) of my first flock of chickens. Spent the winter worrying about keeping them alive and then in March of 2019 ended up hatching 5 eggs under a broody chicken in March 2019. First one died, maybe from too cold in coop or maybe mama stepped on it. Kept a close eye on the others and ended up with 4 babies. Brought them into house and raised then to about 8 weeks before moving them out to their own coop. Turned out by 17 weeks I had 3 roosters and 1 hen. So had to rehome 3 roosters. Found a no-kill sanctuary for them and now have a second coop which I purchased for my new flock which now consists of 2 silky hens who were being picked on by my other flock and my 1 hand raised hen. She is twice the size of the silkies and they intimidate her. Actually quite funny! By now I am sure you all can see I only have chickens as pets. My first flock consists of 5 hens and 1 rooster who is known as Darth Vadar by family and friends as he attacks all unknown 2 legged creatures who enter his domain. Except me! My second flock now is 1 full grown hen (breed unknown) and 2 silky hens. They are in the larger coop and trying to figure out how to be chickens as they are so used to being picked on and now aren't so don't know how to deal with that. Only 1 silky laying an egg every third or fourth day but that's okay. Others not laying yet. Hopeful they will start once they realize they can! So I now have 2 very nice coops (that is another story for another time) and 2 flocks of chickens in less than a year. I call them my therapy chickens and I am lucky enough to live where I can keep them and enjoy the challenge. I will continue my story and I hope to find some other chicken lovers in my area or on this forum.
