Hi Everyone,
Moosehillfarm here. Haven't been to BYC in ages. Busy summer in the garden and raising chicks. Gotta keep the flock fresh! Around Easter of this year, met BagEnd Hen at a Dunkin Donuts and bought 3, day old chicks, a Barred Rock, a Speckled Sussex and an Australorp. They're gorgeous and are with the rest of the flock now. In July, a Buff Orp and an Australorp hatched out 6 little mutt chicks, at least one of the broken eggs was green so there's Easter Egger in the mix too. Let mamas raise them for 3 days and now they're in the garage. The last bird from our original 2003 flock recently died. Rhoda had a very good run!
Missed not having a Chickenstock this year, but DH begged for a time out after hosting 2 of them. People came from NY, RI and MA to the second. A lot to do. I looked into Osborndale State Park but fees were high and finally they declined my application anyway. I still would like to do something here but it would have to be on the smaller side; maybe limit it to New Haven/ Valley people. Great to see how many of us there are! There's a chicken club in Oxford?! Maybe we could get them involved too.
I also have an Easter Egger roo that I'd be happy to part with. He's fine, but I have 2 others, just too many roosters.

Three americanas and a leghorn. It's so different having them outside, a brave new world in my backyard.
