Hi Chubmom, I just recently found out that Prianti sells chicks and grown chickens. I know there's a Prianti on Jericho in the Dix Hills area, so you might want to call them first.

My little flock needs a home

Help... I live on Long Island way out on the North Fork and I am moving to Australia. I am desperately looking for someone to adopt my small 5 hen flock of random mixed adorable about to lay. I just cant seem to find anyone. I was hoping for someone who will just have these girls and who will love them like we do and that they would not have to be integrated in to a larger flock. They are our pets really.
We have a Buff Cochin, Black Sexlink, Leghorn, Araucana, Bantam Speckled Cochin (teensy and super cute).
If anyone has a friend who wants to become a chicken owner please tell them about our girls. We don't even want any money unless they want to coop too which I would be happy to make a screaming deal on if I know they will go to a good home.
Thanks for reading

This looks like an old thread....but I'll give it a shot.
I'm new to BYC and I live in Islip.
Its good to see fellow Long Islanders on here. I'm just abt to start my flock in the spring with 9 different types of chickens. (I would like some Muscoky Ducks also but I'm having trouble finding some places that will just ship 2)
I have a 5x8' fiberglass chicken coop I purchased from Eggstreme Coops that is really awesome.
Hopefully I can lean on some of you to answer the questions that I know I will have at some point.
Thanks guys!!!!

hi!
i was wondering if you could give me chicken advice!
I am a single mom with four kids who wants chickens as pets, for eggs and to teach my kids about responsibility/caring for others/thinking about their food/health, etc... I'm reading and learning all that I can, but I'm not sure which type of chicken to get. I want something that is hardy enough to survive NY winters (I will - of course- provide proper heat/shelter, etc), a bird that produces not too many/not too few eggs, a bird that is sturdy enough to be handled (gently) by my kids (my youngest is 5, my oldest is 11) and one that isn't too noisy (I only have a 1/4 acre of land- my town says if I have less than 6 birds, I'm okay!).
What do you recommend?
THANK YOU!!!

PS: and do you have any coop tips? I worry about snow for them!

Just wondering if you found your chickens. I have a small flock of 6. 5 assorted hens and one Rhode Island Red Rooster. I need to thin my flock due to space constraints. My birds will start laying in about a month and they have all been handled since they were hatchlings.
