Hey All,
Louisville urban "farmer" here. Just got my first chicks about 6 or 7 weeks ago -- 2 buff orps and 2 easter eggers.
I think one of the EEs may be a rooster, doubt my neighbors would appreciate him....Any suggestions on who I might be able to contact to harvest/dress him for me after I give him a few months to grow? Not quite ready or set up to do that myself here.

Seedleaf in Lexington has a program. Check it out. Might want to checkout CLUCK (Cooperative Lexington Urban Chicken Keepers) on Facebook. It has the Seedleaf contact information as they are part of Seedleaf.

Yeah, I thought about getting Sussex since they are large, but I have the one Marans rooster and thought I'd just use him over my egg layers.
He ended up being the only survivor of a dozen shipped BCM hatching eggs I bought last year.
Next year I'd like to get some Light Sussex; but right now I'm overrun with chickens.
(I need to find the willpower to turn OFF my incubator!)
