Dave from Fremont, New Hampshire.
I was a keeper of bees for 20 years but a
bad back took me out of the apiary.
So we decided that chickens might be
a good family hobby.
We just started this May with 13 white wyandottes
and a dark Brahma roo (mystery bird).
We will be keeping them for eggs.

just a reminder for anyone in central maine.
there is a 2 days swap on sept 10th and 11th at the Augusta tractor Supply on civic center drive. the first day will be "out there with animals" an all animal event- buy, sell, rescues will be there, 4-h/Faa groups are invited. anything animal related which includes homemade items (goat's milk soaps, yarns, cheeses, crafts) and the 2nd day will be more poultry/ small animal related (although poultry will probably be at the saturday event as well). all are welcome, no set up fee. you need to supply your own cages to put your animals in and clean up after yourself when you leave.
any questions, pm me or call cindy at the store 621-2800

Hi everyone! My apologies for invading your thread, but I'm in a situation and am looking for help from some of the kind people in the Backyard Chickens forum! I posted in the newbies thread, and someone recommend I try this thread out since you guys are a little bit closer to me in Queens NYC.
My name is Alex Keipper and I'm a recent graduate of the NYU film program, an animal lover and vegetarian, and I'm preparing to shoot my undergraduate thesis film starting this week into next week in the New York City area.
The film is called Skin and Bones and it's the story of a young man working to support his mother and brother financially whilst simultaneously acting out aggressions as an animal liberationist. More than that though, it's about him struggling to raise his brother, fighting his own desires and insecurities, and discovering the place his ideals have in the world he inhabits. It's also about the food we eat, the connection we have to it, and what it means it eat or not eat animals. I've been working on the project for over a year now, and it's one I'm deeply invested in.
Our story calls for several scenes to be shot using chickens in a coop the main character has built and keeps in his backyard. While we had a caring keeper of chickens from upstate New York committed to letting us use her chickens for our film, she has had a recent emergency in her family that may prevent her from helping out. We're due to shoot these scenes on Thursday, and are now scrambling a bit to find another chicken keeper who may be willing to help us out.
If anyone would be interested, I would be eternally gracious. I already owe a decent amount to Backyard Chickens, as we researched our coop design using your website! We have a modest budget to provide some form of payment that we could discuss, and of course anyone interested would be reimbursed for all personal expenses. We would only need you for part of the day on Thursday. If you'd like more info on the film, you can visit http://www.skinandbon... or ask me any questions. You can reach me at [email protected] or 240.529.3859
