Lowes in Canada was clearing them out last year - before Christmas! I believe I saw someone post about them on a poultry group "board" in Ontario. I was CONVINCED they would be sold out by the time I got to the store but as you can see, that was not the case. (Chickens are not yet as popular in Canada as they are in the US but I am doing my part to change that!!!!

)

I'm with ya there i thought i was the only one in canada on this site but looks like i ain't and yep hope more ppl get into chickens in canada​

I've seen you on the Silkie thread .... I just hatched my first and one and only. Are there any clues to sexing them early on????

(Always delighted when I see other Canadians on BYC!!!

)

Now, Stony, you nearly made me throw my wine - and it's red - and my carpet in beige. I wouldn't be a happy camper.

Dang.

Hello all, Went out to check on the chickens and all was quiet except a "peep peep" coming from the nest box where my cochin pullet has been. Upon closer examination a little white face peeked out from all the fluff. Happy Thanksgiving! I fished around under her and found a black or blue chick too

So cute...

peeping eggs!

Love to see pics of chicks! Love the sound of peeping eggs--BA broody has a peeping egg this morning too. About time, the first chick needs a playmate.
