Another Baltimore County outlaw here, doing it for the second time, this one MUCH more on the down-low. We are one block from the city line, in a zipcode that straddles it. We'd love to connect with other chicken lovers nearby!
At the moment we have one Silkie hen, one Buff Brahma chick (female) and one (unexpected) call duckling. I got the silkie to be a mom to the 4 chicks I was getting in the mail from mypetchicken.com, but 3 of the 4 died because the shipper had not put a heat-pack under them. The Brahma chick was healthy and strong! My daughter brought the duckling home so we just added her (I think) to the mix. MPC is replacing the dead chicks next month, and - heaven willing - we'll have the current group plus 2 Salmon Faverolle girls and an Australorp girl in our back yard. Right now the coop is a big dog crate we bring inside at night, and the run is in our 6' fenced back yard. Not sure what will happen duckling wise, but we will see! We have 2 daughters homeschooling and in their teens, dogs cats, bunny, & a good vegetable garden looking forward to better compost!
go to "Where am I, where are you" to find your state thread. You could subscribe to it and also post and ask if there are any chicken folk in or near Baltimore. I bet you will be surprised to find there are several at least.
