Looking for People on the Eastern Shore....

I originally was going to get Delawares and Dorkings, as they were on the Critical list for last year. This year the Delwares are not on the list, so I will probably get a couple, but I am looking into Javas and might want some Buckeyes. I don't know how many I will be able to handle, so I will have to "play it by hatch"...

Cool my view of heritage breeds is that they have been around this long for a reason and that we should preserve them because they have certainly helped us and probably will again.

Hi Everyone! I'm in Rock Hall, MD - northern eastern shore in Kent County. My 6 baby girls will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. So far everyone is happy and healthy. We are new to chicken raising and having a blast. They are so much more fun than any of us expected. Happy to be a part of this site with so many fellow chicken lovers!

Hello Chickiemama... Thanks for checking out the thread. Looking forward to getting my hatcher and incubator, which is finally on it's way as of today...

Hey there! I'm on the western shore of MD--I'll wave at ya from across the Chesapeake Bay!!

I breed Cuckoo Marans and Polish, and I have a few (true) Ameraucanas and am hoping to have a breeding pen of blues/blacks of these guys going by this fall or next spring. I'm looking to add a true heritage breed here--I'd like one from the ALBC's critical list--but I just can't decide!!

Hi all...

I am in Harford County -- just across the dam from those of you in Cecil County. I have a small flock of layers -- Silver Laced Wyandottes, Buff Orpingtons, a couple production reds, black sex links and Golden Comets -- ducks and pasture raised broilers. It's nice to make your acquaintance!

Hello, I know this is an old thread but I just joined. I live in Southern Delaware - Sussex County. I just got started in this chicken "thing" and am having a great time. I have all Speckled Sussex right now and one white crested black polish who is adorable! I'd like to get a few more laying hens perhaps Red Star. Anyone still on this topic and around this area?
