Hey All,
Wow, it's been a while since I was active here!
So, I'm moving from 1.5 acres in CT to 35 acres in northern NY (St Lawrence County), and looking to scale up our poultry operation. However, the move is happening in mid-April, so we've already missed our normal brooding window, and after looking at hatchery sites, it seems like we'd have to make a pretty major jump since most places have extra high minimum orders this year.
I'm curious if anyone on here knows what the poultry market in the north country looks like in early May? It seems like the feed store "chick days" are already winding down in CT by then. We'd be looking for egg laying chickens and ducks in assorted breeds, geese, BB Turkeys, and meat chickens. Where would y'all suggest we look.
And yes, I know I can also browse the state thread
