NY chicken lover!!!!

I have 6 free bantam chicks if anyone wants them. They are 3/4 serama and 1/4 Silkie. All are fizzled but some are smooth feathered and a couple are silkied. Mom and dad are both under a pound so these should stay small too. There’s a couple buff laced, a couple black a chocolate and a black with gold leakage. Dad is pure frizzle serama and mom is half serama half showgirl Silkie. I’m in Lake Pleasant. Please someone give them a home. If you want dad too, he can go with them. He is a good papa and takes care of them.

I have (2) 5 gallon Little Giant waterers I think I want to sell. One is basically brand new. I used it for 2 hours. The other is used but in great condition. I will make sure it’s scrubbed and disinfected. Looking to get $20 each. I went with horizontal nipple system so I don’t need these. Thanks.

Sorry ...Sometimes based on location ..it is easier to just buy at the store ..
Pictures also help ...A picture is worth a thousand words

Got old feed bags ? Use them ..I use these bags for different things . Cut in half.. they can be used to put boots on in the closet , they can be put under bedding in nest boxes , in chicken cages for broody hens with chicks for ease to clean them out ..

Anyone know of a vet near Ithaca or Cortland NY who treats chickens?

Anyone have any tips regarding squirrels/chipmunks and chicken feed? We have a trough built out of schedule 40 pipe attached to the side of the coop with a little roof and it's worked wonderfully for 2 years. Well, until now....stupid squirrels and chipmunks have found it. Not sure why it was ok for 2 years but it is what it is. We wouldn't have known until my husband said he had to stop and get a bag of feed, I was like what? We just bought one 2 weeks ago, they usually last a month! Went down and watched for awhile and there they were. He's taken care of the majority of them but there are a couple left with a death wish that will be fulfilled soon. We don't want to keep the feed in the coop and can't cover the top of the coop/run with netting as it's in a partially wooded area and falling branches, etc take out the netting. Any other ideas? Do the treadle feeders work outdoors all spring/summer/fall without rusting, etc.? Or any suggestions on a feeder that would work outdoors but keeps out varmints? Thanks for any help....so pissed, little jerks.

I’m always at war with the chipmunks but this year they seem worse. We have been setting rat traps and they are working well, now if we can get the neighbors cat to stop taking the chipmunk and the trap.
