NY chicken lover!!!!

[horsekeeper]

Hi all, trying to catch up!
(This is a copy of my earlier post from the Chickenstock 2017 list...)

I have a bantam Wyandotte who just went broody.
Does anyone have a half dozen bantam eggs I could buy / beg / borrow or bum?
Or, failing that, I may order hatching eggs & have wee chicks at Chickenstock. I'm leaning towards Bantam Ameraucanas or Bantam Wyandottes (BLR if I can get them).
Any interest in those?

*This little hen I'd such a militant broody, of I don't get some eggs under her soon things could get ugly in the coop.

If you're interested in either supplying eggs or would be interested in either of the breeds I'm thinking of, please PM me or text 931 802-4378. Thanks.

I have cochin mix that you could have, but I am 2 hours away from you.

Howdy from southern NY. I'm from Long Island and plan on getting chickens in the near future. Just doing some research before diving right in. Our town is a bit tight with ordinances. They allow a maximum of 6 hens, roosters are with special permits only I believe. This suits me fine since I'm new at this and planned on starting with 4 hens. I'll keep digging through the site, hopefully find all the answers I'm looking for. Just wanted to introduce myself.  

Welcome. There is a Sothern NY thread that may be more local to you, but has not been very active.

Wah! My best roo Pugley (son of the O-so wonderful but ugly Gomez) just met his end the same as his daddy, taking one for the team and defending the ladies..


Anyone near-ish Saratoga have NN eggs? I am collecting eggs from my girls to see if I can get Son Of Pugsley like I did for Gomez.. Wish me luck!

34 outside, 9 chicks inside. I have 3 incubators and a Brinsea Eco Warmer and a Premier Eco warmer. I mostly hatch for myself, to get different color egg layers. I have a barnyard mix flock in one coop, 4 seniors in another coop, and 9 chicks in the house -5 are leaving in 2 months and 4 breda chicks are staying here to go with my 4 adult breda hens.
My flocks contain a rir langshan roo, bredas, polish, barnevelder, welsummer, blue laced red wyandotte, easter eggers I hatched last year, a legbsr, rir, tetra, olive egger, bantam ee, 3 ameracaunas, and 3 easter eggers I bought from a friend in October.

My 3 incubators have duck eggs in one for a friend who asked me to hatch for her and 6 of her barred rock and australorp eggs, and my bator with my barnyard mix eggs .

Hello! Sounds like a nice flock you have!

Sorry to here about your rooster! I hope you get another one like him. Haven't talked to you in a while. Do you still have the Cochins you hatched from my eggs years ago? I still owe you more eggs if I recall. Just thought I'd inform you I have them again. I only have two hens so it takes a while for egg numbers to accumulate but if you want some I'll still give you the ones I owe you.

Is anyone NPIP certified? Can someone explain to me what I have to do to get the certification as well as what does having it do for me? I'm thinking about trying to get the certification. But I wanna know what I'll have to do to get it and what it's purpose is.
