Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

Welp, the universe has a funny way of doing things. So I'm in the process of getting my grow out/meat bird pen finished so I can finally evict these darn roosters out to my mom's instead of them being cooped up in my office!

I was at Agway today getting supplies for just that, and a lady heard I was getting chick starter and started up a conversation with me. Turns out she has a broody hen and wants hatching eggs! I said I can absolutely do that, she only wants 6 (I'm okay with that). But now I have to figure out wtf to do as far as price goes. (I started a thread to help figure that out). Worst case scenario I say "Gimme $10 and they're yours"

Because I wanna make back at least some of the money I'd get if I hatched those 6 out myself. (And yes that's still lower than what it would be if I sold the chicks). I may have to attempt to do some math and see what I come up with.
 
Hello everyone! It's been quite a while since I posted on this thread but I'm hoping that you all can help me to identify some hatching eggs for my two broody ladies, Lady Featherington and Glynda.


We are hoping to find some polish and/or orpington eggs for the ladies to hatch. Does anyone know of any available in Eastern PA?
 
It's been a while since I posted last. A long while. I am down to 4 hens which is just the right amount for one person. My Big Guy passed away in March, so I am living solo right now, not counting the dogs and cats. I haven't actually seen my girls close up for 50 days because I broke my foot April 20th and I can't get down to their run. So far, 2024 has been not so very nice. But I'm still here and will try to pop in more often.

I found some eggs to have shipped. No need to respond now. Thanks to anyone who may have been looking.

Sister luckily moved back to PA from TN. Just in time for the ShtShow. She and her daughter, along with my local son have been helping when I was not able to do the 2 stairs to where everything is. And the kid (my kid's age kid, not a teen) down the street has been a big help also. I've been paying them in eggs.
 
Hey guys! Unfortunately, I recently found out that one of our four chicks we bought (now around 2 months old) is a rooster, and because we live in the suburbs, we are prohibited from owning them. Would anyone be willing to re-home him? He is the sweetest chicken of the bunch and loves to cuddle! He is a beautiful barred plymouth-rock rooster and would love to go to a caring home. Thanks!

Hello all! I have 2 Sapphire Gem cockerels about 8.5 weeks old that I am looking to rehome. 19426. I can keep them for another 6 weeks or so if that helps.

We have 11 hens and are relocating locally. Due to expected events we have nowhere to keep our laying hens for month of July. Looking for a temporary home to foster them. You can keep all the beautiful eggs, we can cover cost of feed etc. and willing to pay small fee for care, room, and board. Please help!
