NY chicken lover!!!!

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

That’s good to know! I can’t wait till my little one goes broody again... hopefully she’ll still have eggs by then!

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.

Not far at all then! Kinda surprised I found someone so close haha

Me too! The only people I know who keep chickens is my neighbor and the farm right up the road from me.

Have you went to any of the local swaps?

I can't believe I only found this thread now! I have a small flock of 6 chickens at the moment, two roosters and four hens. One rooster is an EE, the other is a frizzle cochin bantam. The hens are 1 EE, 1 BR, 1 BA, and 1 cochin bantam.
Soon, I'm going to split the flock in two, one bantam flock and one standard breed. I'm also going to get a few more girls for each flock.

Hi! Welcome to the thread! I think some of us are attempting to bring it back to life haha. What a lovely assortment you have.

Only the one in Howes caves/ Cobleskill. Haven’t been able to get to any of the others. I’m also not on FB so I don’t know when they’re happening. The Howes caves one is advertised on Craigslist.

I’ve read this thread but don’t think I’ve replied to it

So, hello, I’m Anna, I live in upstate NY on a small farm with cows, pigs, bunnies, goats, chickens, Guineas, ducks, and a dog

Would anyone here want free Delaware roos? Just trying to get a feel for interest since my broody is raising five chicks and unless i win the lottery, there will inevitably be a few roos

I’m in Orange County.

Also thinking about giving away my 2 orloff hens (1 year old in July) since they don’t really lay well. They are beautiful and I love them to bits, but can’t justify the costs of raising two hens who give me 3-4 small-medium eggs a week. They started laying in December...
They are both friendly birds, not lap chickens, but will follow your around for treats and tolerate handling. I've never had to chase any of my chickens down (in the run or free ranging) when I need to pick them up. One of them likes to beg to be let in at the cat door so she can get herself some cat food

(The two brown eggs in the middle are orloff eggs)
