Hi, I am Fairfield County.
Looking to buy a few fertile eggs to add a few more chickens to our new flock.
Hoping for a breed that would add some color to our flock and the eggs.
Please let me know.

Thanks!

Wish I could get you some but your across the state.

Where are you located?
I may be traveling this weekend, within the state.

I am near you, I know of someone that breeds and sells bantams, but I don't know about fertile eggs.

Hi, all, I'm also in Fairfield County.

I'm looking for a few chicks to give to my friend who has really gotten into raising chickens recently. My friend has started getting some of the fancier chicks from Tractor Supply and raising them, but I know she gets very attached and I worry about the lifespan of birds from a large production operation.

I'd like to get her a few Araucanas, or maybe Ameraucanas or Barred Rock chicks as a gift in about 6 weeks. I'm looking for birds with more genetic diversity than I might be able to find elsewhere, and I figured this is the place to ask! Are there other long-lived and "rare" breeds I should be considering?

I don't care if I have to drive across the state to pick the chicks up, or even into NY state (although with the current pandemic going on I'd prefer not to).

Does anyone know about Burr Farm in Brooklyn, or the Henson Menagerie in Bolton? Is there a better place to get chicks around these parts?

Thanks!

I know of someone who breeds bantams near me, but I'm not sure where they are online. Generally ordering from hatcheries is a good source of chicks. Do you know that this friend has enough space for more chickens, or the time to take care of them? I will warn against using Clark Farm for chicks, as it is poorly run and they often make breed or sexing mistakes, and don't take very good care of their animals.

Hi, you will be fine with Hatchery birds. Life span expectancy I would relate more to care than Hatchery. I have mixed breeds right now that are from my own stock. All are Marans Roo over various hens.
