I’m glad I built my run in the wooded area surrounding my lawn. in summer there’s great shade cover and in winter the leaves fall to let the sun in

I’ve frozen some veggie scraps for the hotter days to come.

Mine have a great deal of shade but apparently don't realize it lol. I've tried ice cubes with corn or fruit but they're not interested. I did just lightly mist some of them who seemed hotter than others. I know water baths are not recommended but the inside of their coop is over 100 right now.

I have some young standard pullets for sale. My neighbor is throwing a fit about my chickens and threatening me. In a farming community but he’s afraid his dog is going to kill my chickens. Like he’s afraid she’s going to jump over a four foot tall fence to get to them. So im just looking to sell a couple extras to shut him up. Im about 45 minutes west of Albany in Schoharie county. I don’t currently have pictures of them but will take some later today. The breeds are sagitta and leghorn. I might also have some Easter eggers as well.

I know this is an older post but you're in Schoharie County too?!

I bought eggs from this lady twice. She also has chicks for sale. Really nice lady and great chicks. Found on the Albany Craigslist. View attachment 2693082

I think I have purchased from her and know her, not certain though because I don't want to post her name.

I am in Schoharie county. Where in the county are you? She’s a really nice lady. I’m glad I found her because my shipped eggs weren’t working out as well.

I tell everyone Cobleskill but more towards Seward. You? Yes! She has beautiful birds too. We have some in the incubator we just got from her on Saturday

I’m in Esperance. I actually hatched out a bunch of her eggs a couple months back and most of them were boys. So I went back and bought more chicks from her. I hope I get more girls this time around.
