Connecticut!

Hey! There are connecticutians here! Hi all, I'm in Sandy Hook. Anyone wanna spare me an extra hen or two to have a nice healthy group for the winter? I have one barred rock/easter egger hen (6 mos), and one little millie fleur dutch bantam rooster. New coop is complete! Just need to fill it up! Don't really want pullets though, the hen is a bit of a bully. Really looking for a black orphington or RIR or a Maran..

Try CL just saw an ad there couple days ago someone had a whole flock he was selling,it was under the Hartford listing;good luck!

I second CL. There are often chickens listed for free and for sale, but they go fast! And it may be a bit late, but people often try to downsize their flocks for the winter.

I have been talking to the folks at lsb in bethany about some chicken programs/swaps
What are you guys interested in? Also if I were to hatch out some buckeyes and buff brahmas any interest? My Barnevelders arent laying yet. I am going down to little dixie this weekend and my friend chad is selling some young barnies if anyone wants some I could transport. Pm me on little dixie happy to help

One of the reasons I stay away from coop heaters (unnecessary, anyway) and brooder bulbs.

Thanks for the tip! I'm second in line for a batch of nh reds and a black Orpington!

If you want to search multiple areas of CT on CL simultaneously (we are a small state!), I recommend www.searchtempest.com. You can search the "Farm" and "Free" categories at the same time, as well. And don't forget to check "Pets."

Ugh! There is a possum in my coop with the ladies & my dog on the leash. Can't leave to put dog away & no one here to help!

Did the dog chase the possum into the coop?

It would take me close to an hour to close up here and get over there. . . mercy.
