Maine

[lazy gardener]

I'm planning on putting in an order to Cackle tomorrow. If anyone is interested in tacking onto my order, shoot me a PM.

I just did a quick search; there's one place in Clinton listed on the Livestock Conservancy site that offers hatching eggs of several heritage breeds and other breed specific sites with their own directories.

I couldn't find the listing. Could you share what you found?
Thanks!!

Sure! This covers the Northeast region but there's just the one listing in Maine (there are other places but she's the only one listed on the Livestock Conservancy site). Just click on the marker and the info pops up.

Good morning on this snow day, my girls would not go out in the snow how about any one else

My girls will go out into their sun room (not going to be sunny today.) It's still not finished, I need to put up plastic on the north side, and on the south gable, as well as a fence to close off that bay of the run, and block them from going under the coop. At this point, I wish I had an other month of summer. But, I'm getting a few eggs now. Had a new player yesterday: little creamy brown pullet egg.

I got an new egg layer yesterday too! I think my spitzhauben pullet is finally starting

My three 11-week old cockerels (yes, my broody-raised eggs were 3 for 3 roos!) were in absolute shock at the snow. It was pretty funny to see them do an about face back into the coop. The hens typically don't go out unless I throw used shavings in the run or shovel it. The goats absolutely refuse to leave the barn with any amount of precipitation. Spoiled little creatures.

I finally have at least 3 hens laying again after 2.5 months of no eggs. Woo!

I got 3 eggs today. Started light for them a couple of weeks ago.

I second the throw used shavings (or hay if you want to be fancy) on the shoveled run area, and even some BOSS on top of it and I guarantee the snow-shyness will almost instantly melt.

My goats go out in anything, shoveled or not.

I ended up getting the run shoveled and use a rake to turn things up and added a layer of leaves I reserved, it got the girl's out long enough to get some fresh air before it was time to go in the night
