NY chicken lover!!!!

[Gramma Chick]

Would love Barred Rock, Black Copper Marans, Bielefelder, or Rhode Island Red/Red Star - but would consider other breeds as well! As long as they are good layers, cold hardy, and a more docile breed.

Welcome ..I dont have any extra hens ...Our chicken crop this year was 9 Boys ....
I am in Jordan... Australorps is a nice breed too to look into

5 month old porcelain booted bantam rooster in Clarkson (west of Rochester.) I am willing to drive him a few hours to a good, safe home.

From a Vet on Facebook - Something to consider

.ATTENTION! PLEASE CONSIDER NOT ORDERING POULTRY VIA USPS AT THIS TIME!
This is NOT a political post and please, NO discussions or comments on this post. This is a PSA to all poultry enthusiasts/producers/keepers.
Postal workers are reporting major mail room backlogs of mail and packages of all kinds due to many factors. The slowdown means that everything is piling up. That includes food, medication, and shipment of animals.
The USPS is the responsible for 99% of the transport of baby chicks and other poultry around the US. All hatcheries ship out day old chicks via the USPS. Most private breeders who ship use the USPS to ship out fertile eggs, baby chicks, and even adult breeding stock. In many postal hubs in the US, baby chicks and other poultry are not being moved along the distribution chain, and so are left to die in their boxes. Adult birds that were fed lots of overly soggy food to ensure that they were well hydrated before their 1-2 day trip are now being left to die in their shipping boxes. The lucky ones will be moved into the office of the local postmaster and s/he will feed and water them until they can be moved along, but once they get to the major distribution hubs and hundreds of boxes of animals accumulate there is only so much extra work that can be done, even by postal workers who care about these birds, so many or most will die.
Please postpone ordering and shipping all poultry until this issue is resolved.
Addendum: While this cannot be made shareable because this is a private group, everyone has my permission to copy and paste it to share it far and wide. I want as many people to know as possible.

If you bring them home, don't forget to quarantine them for at least two weeks

Definitely! But thank you for the reminder I actually just picked up their “quarantine” house this afternoon. I just hope they look healthy and active so I can bring them home!

Does anyone know if you can have a rooster in Wheatfield, NY. I posted earlier asking what breed one of my chickens was and apparently it is a rooster.
