NY chicken lover!!!!

[Nambroth]

I don't care what you say, I want DERP eggs! I have derp on my fridge as a magnet.

Haha! Well, you could have her sister's eggs (Coho) as she seems perfectly healthy and without genetic weirdness, but the chicks would be faverolles-PR crosses!


Seriously though, if anyone is in SW NY and wants black sex link eggs (PR over BR) please let me know. I'd pay you to hatch me two pullets (I only have room for 2 more-- really-- no chicken math!!) plus you can have the other eggs/chicks of course.

As long as they aren't blue and filled with used pine shavings they should be OK.

Hey guys... How yall doing?

Decent kinda Saturday to bundle up in the carhart and coveralls and get a some what head start on spring cleaning the farmstead...

I was just telling my Okie Homies that I was tempted to order chicks(murray mc murray) and actually got as far as placing 50 chicks in the "cart" when I chickened out and decided to wait until we close... which I am HOPING WILL BE SOMETIME THIS WEEK... good golly ms molly we have been trying to close on this house since November.

.. got our commitment letter last month only to see there was a hiccup on the sellers end thus now the delay...

Hey where I come from we have a get together its called POOPS(People Of Oklahoma Poultry Swap)... wondering what kinda get together yall do... or have you thought about doing? There are things I miss about home and didnt know if yall chicken folks here in NY doing anything of the sort... if not maybe we can conjur up a meet and greet and talk chicken...

Wow, CoCounty has a strong holding here! I mean, at the Farmer's Market in Chatham, a lot of people "talk the talk" of chickens, but they'd rather shell out 8 bucks a dozen at the Market. (no pun intended). I like it that we have some people representing. Any chicken swaps/ stocks coming up in the area?

8 bucks a dozen? I need to raise my prices and hatch all girls.lol

I can honestly say I have never been to the Chatham farmers market.

Well, not 8, but 5.49 a dozen! I have a friend that sells his for 10 BUCKS a dozen at the Green Market in Manhattan. He must make a ton.......... but the Farmers market is overpriced, but good quality produce. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, so I go occassionally, but can't afford 2.50 an avocado, or 5.99 for a pint of blueberries. It's worth checking out though, as they have emu eggs sometimes.

hmmm, I wholesale my extra's to a guy with a green market in Manhattan. He pays me $3 a dz. If he is making $7 a dz ....hmmmmm.

$5.49 is still a lot. Makes me wonder if that is the same price the Berry Farm gets

Awwww...those are sooo cute....

You look like you are set up to house about 50, so I hope more are coming.

PS If possible, keep the electric cord away from the light's metal parts....they get REALLY hot and can melt through the insulation.
