I'm in Apalachin. You know the great NYS debate on what defines Upstate from Downstate. Here, we define Upstate as everything other than NY City and the metro area immediately outside it.
I have a flock of 11 with 16 chicks coming next month. Mixed flock. Here are some of them.

Wow! They are beautiful. Just the right flock size for a household i think. I am sure you get a steady supply of good quality eggs. Bec they are free ranged. I mean orangy yolk and firm egg whites. Right? Soo much different from grocery store eggs. the ones they call cage free are not even close.

Yes, I do! They aren't free ranged any longer. They are kept in a 1/4-acre electrnetted pen but it will stay green for them.
We finally have a surplus and I'm selling my extras for $4/dozen to folks in my neighborhood.
