So I haven't yet seen a thread like this so apologies if one exists but I thought maybe this might be useful to some people. I know there is a state thread and a New England thread but I haven't seen one that lists everything in one place.
I thought that maybe you could say what you have, where in New England you are, if you ship (in case anyone sees this who isn't in New England ), quality, minimum order, ., I don't know, just anything else relevant I guess.
The reason I am making this is because right now I have 8 birds from Meyer Hatchery and I absolutely love them plus my dad has limited me to 8 but I still have some more breeds I want and was hoping maybe over the summer or fall I could sneak some more in or perhaps sometime next year if not this year. Shipping is far too expensive to justify getting just a couple of birds from Meyer again so I was going to just pick some up from a local feed store but wanted to see if there are any local breeders around.
The breeds I would like to add are Speckled Sussex; any variety Wyandotte but especially gold laced, silver laced, and blue laced red; and basically any variety of Orpington. There are so many beautiful varieties.
I may also want to add ducks eventually. Especially Swedish and Welsh Harlequin.
HOWEVER.
ANY BREEDS, SPECIES, OR VARIETIES WELCOME HERE. NOT JUST THE ONES MENTIONED. I WANT THIS TO BE A RESOURCE TO PEOPLE.
Heck, if you have it, I'd even love to add a quality Barred Rock or any of the other breeds I have now (in signature) so really, truly, anything is welcome here. Whether it's really common or really rare. I don't want this to be just about me.
So, share what you have!!
Oh and pictures aren't necessary but would be nice if you have them.
TIA
