[La Banan]

Hi - went through about a zillion pages but couldn't find one just for us bluenosers. Mighta missed it but my eyes are getting tired so thought I'd start one anyway!
I'm in Prospect Bay, NS - fairly near Halifax but fortunately zoned for having hens. Yay!

Not at all, small world. Yarmouth is where we go if we need anything other then grocery lol.

I brought home my ladies tonight, and all I want to do is sit in the coop and watch them get use to their new surroundings. 4 golden comets, they are all so sweet.

Great idea! I'm in Centre Rawdon on a small farm with an elder-gelding, a feral cat colony and a new flock of 12 pullets (with heavy biosecurity!).

Wow I cant believe you are from Centre Rawdon Lynne P, so am I - small world. We dont have any chickens yet, still in the planning stages for the coop.I love BYC its awesome for information Most useful so far has been about the predators. I am orignally from Ireland my grandmother always had chickens there and we dont have as many predators as here in Nova Scotia, the ocassional fox but no raccoons of cyotes. Our winters are not so bad either so her coop was not insulated at all.

I'm going to message you, check for a PM!

Wow, finally, someone from HERE...

I'm here across from Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia and having a wicked time trying to track down hatching eggs from these sites.

Does anyone know how to aquire rare breeds? Noone I've found wants to send across the border (from the states)!

I'm looking for CHANTECLER, Dark Cornish, and Silver and golden Laced Wyandottes. I've aquired some but am looking to introduce new blood to my flock.

Thanks!
Jenn

Hi Jenn, have you checked with Circle Pond Farm in Chester? And if you find Chanteclers I know another Nova Scotian who is keen to locate some, she's been searching for a while.

Hey you all - I just ordered my chicks! Yippee - I'm soooo excited. I wanted originally to get pullets but couldn't so I am entering the world of tiny peeps. I'm getting 12 from Circle Pond - a mix of types. omigod!
Will need to talk to you Lynn!
