NY chicken lover!!!!

Unrelated to chickens, but related to temptations - Penzeys Spices has just opened a store in Albany, and Trader Joe's is on its way. My wallet is screaming in terror.

Penzey's double strength vanilla is fantastic!

I have brooder in basement which makes it messy. I usually keep them inside 2-4 wks then they go out into the coop which is split in 2 one side for big chickens one side for littles (when there are littles).

Thanks so much for your help. Sadly, Willow Marsh Farms looks to be a 5 hour drive one way... eek.

I checked out all those links and it looks like the closest is Cassadaga and Colden... both of which is still 1.5 hour drive one way for us... with gas prices what they are, it's not something I can do on a regular basis for milk. I will keep searching...! I appreciate your help!

I did find one in Alfred which would be closer to you, correct? Maybe some in NW PA too?

Alfred is about 60 miles from here. I am exploring NW PA too! I've also written a few of my local farms to see if they have any leads for me.

Wow! I haven't been in this thread in FOREVER (forever being 949 posts ago).

Hello everyone!!

Any of you beekeepers out there have beeswax to sell or barter? I'd looooove to barter. I want to start making chapstick/lip gloss out of it.

Anyway.....hellooooooo!

Hello! A friend of mine has so much honey, 5 gal pails of it! She now is selling to restaurants. We may get some bees this year, if we have any wax I'll let you know, won't be till next year though.

Thanks Annie! (My name is Annie, too )

Does she have any honey/wax for sale at the moment? Hmm...we may be interested in a gallon! My other half takes it by the tablespoon anytime he feels inclined.

Those are the cutest chicks I have ever seen. I'm bringing $20 and 3 eggs. I'm sure we can work out a deal.

No problem! Can't wait to see you again.
