Hi Lauren, thanks for the tip about the show. Hope's not far at all, we get out to Genesis Farm in Blairstown on a regular basis. I'm not a chicken snob, honest! I just think the diversity of the different breeds are amazing, I like the idea of trying to preserve some of the less common stock. Right now I've got a split flock of 14 Dominiques and Wyandottes, but I might want to add a couple of pullets in May to stagger the egg harvest. Mine were hatched back in February.

Well I picked up Piper and Pippa today. They are adorable. And hearing my kids say Awww is so cute. Here's a couple quick picks. My son made me laugh. After I took this pick she pooped on his seatbelt and he started to gag. Lol I couldn't help but laugh.

Oh My how cute!!! They are so fluffy, I love baby ducks!

Hi Mark, I am in Long Valley- on the Mountain as well! I just started my mini flock with 5 chicks from My Pet Chicken, and immediately regretted not ordering more. I have a mixed bunch, including one easter egger. I should have ordered more! If you find out where to get anything locally, let me know. Tractor supply in Washington (off 31?) has some rir pullets and something else rock... and Penwell mills has sex link red star (I believe) chicks.

There is a farm in Jackson that sells a wide variety of birds, but I don't know how far away that is from you. Welcome! I also ordered my first flock from MPC.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes, this seems like a great community with a ton of experience. Ben..., do you remember where you got those Hollands? That was one of the breeds that I was looking for, I'd love to add a couple. Those were first bred here in NJ, right?

Thanks Shadow, Jackson is definitely worth traveling to. Anywhere within 3 hours, really. One really cool place to go to see some beautiful birds on display is Well-Sweep Herb Farm in Port Murray. Cy keeps only one type of bird (Onagadori) and they aren't for sale, but he's a really interesting guy to talk to about chickens and plants.
