Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

Hi everyone! Western PA here, just outside the Pittsburgh area. I ordered a surprise box from Cackle Hatchery a few weeks ago, and I'm looking to sell most of the chicks! I have a pair of ducklings that are ready to go too. They're currently about 2 weeks old. I know most of the peeps on here prefer birds from breeders, but does anyone have any interest? I can post pictures and more details if so.

Welcome from Cambria county! Hope you find some buyers! Pennswoods.net is a great place to list them

So one of my duck eggs does not like to stay in the egg turner. So I have to turn it

Thanks, OneMountainAcres! I'll check them out!

I’m about to buy blueberries, and try strawberries* yet again. I hope I have good luck!
*Apparently strawberries should not be grown where tomatoes or a few other things have been. Now I know.

Many varieties of strawberry are perennial so they come back to their patch year after year and usually grow a bit over time. I planted some in our new garden last year and I'm curious as to how they did over the winter. Have you had your soil tested to check how it is?

Does anyone is Southeastern PA want any chicks from MyPetChicken? While I am waiting for Dennis' Welbars, I want to get three or four of other breeds from MPC , but my minimum is seven.

That offer is tempting but my wife wouldn't be happy with me at all. Good luck!

My leap day hatch is hatching a day early

 

[fisherlady]

Ours is to, but that's ok, it gives us an extra day over the weekend to get the chicks settled with the broodies.
Didn't realize they would be leap day chicks when we filled the incubator, we just knew we had 3 hens parked (now 4, since another parked 2 weeks ago) and we needed to get some chicks for them.

 

[CuteFluffyButtSilkies]

I didn't either. I just added eggs to the incubator and marked my calendar to when they should hatch and seen it was leap day
