NY chicken lover!!!!

[Beer can]

Nobody has any light brahma and/or standard cochin chicks?  None?  :-(  

Next year I'll have black and blue, maybe some splash langshans for sale, their close, and from what I hear lay better than brahma and cochin. Doesn't help you now though.

Chris, Ke5Hde, has Cochins, not sure of size, but they were very feathery and gorgeous! He is south of Syracuse.

I'm new to BYC, great to see so many NY chicken lovers. I live in Penn Yan, NY (Keuka Lake/Finger Lakes Region).
This is only my second year having chickens. This winter was so awful, the snow drifts this winter were a beast running from 3 to 4 feet high.
I decided to move my existing coop and am going to add onto it. I'm planning to add a run as well.

Welcome! At some point we all add to our coops because we just can't keep our chicken addiction under control. The winter was bad, but I still think last year was worse. I lost a lot of my chickens to predators and will be adding some runs also!

I think his were banty? But maybe some full size too. What ever happened to CountyBoy? He had lots of LF Cochins.

Welcome to the newcomers!

Sweetpea, Nutty is selling light brahma chicks at Chickenstock this year, you may want to PM her. She may be able to get cochins for you too because she owns her own feed store now, so you might want to check with her on that too. Her light brahmas are from a breeder and not hatchery stock. I've got an order in with her for some

We had a coop break today! I looked out this morning while I was getting ready for work and my ayam cemani Rooster Raptor and one of his hens, named One creatively after the fact that her leg band is number 1 were out in the yard Now, it's a nice day and I get that they want to be out, but not when I'm about to go to work and can't be home to watch them! Yikes, all I need is a hawk to take the darn rooster. So began the great roundup. I enlisted the help of my other chickens and let the layer flock out of their run. The rooster was sufficiently distracted by all the new ladies and danced for some of them. Then, one of my buff orp hens who never had a rooster before they came to me and don't have much respect for them did what I hoped she would: she challenged him. So while they were facing off and he had his hackles flared all proud, I scooped him right up and popped him in the coop. He wasn't pleased. Then the hen - the buffs again helped out when they saw me following her all over and we got her up against the fence and they herded her right into me. Good girls, and they'll be getting lots of treats tomorrow.

Hello all. Got my blueberry, blackberry and strawberry plants in. Tomatoes, herbs and peppers are in. Fence is tighter than maximum security jails and has been thoroughly checked by the inmates. There is no breaking in to get to the good stuff! Sat out for a while enjoying the sun and chicken therapy. Life is good.

Purchased BCM and blue/wheaten Ameraucana eggs from E-bay. They are coming in from two different breeders in Texas so it will be later in the week before I can get them in the bators.
