Pennsylvania!! Unite!!

I definitely NEED a mini-goat. And a house in the country.

I am looking for a prebuilt exterior nest box with lockable door, 24", made from wood (preferably redwood or cedar). Does anyone in Eastern PA make them? I know I can build my own, but ever since I injured my hand last year I am kind of skittish about the power tools.

Hey all, just found the Pennsylvania thread and thought I'd drop by

I'm in the Southeast, New Hope area if you're familiar with it. I started with 4 fertile eggs and that clearly wasn't enough so we keep adding chickens I just got another 7 from the Agway last week.

Welcome from Kennett Square! We love New Hope and used to
visit often!

Welcome from center county! What chickens do you have? They are very fun for sure! Beware of the enablers here! We are good at helping to add more birds to your flock

Just a few! We have 4 leghorns, 4 easter eggers, 3 olive eggers, 1 Plymouth rock, 2 cochins of some kind and an unknown that someone said might be a lavender orpington.

You need mini cows and goats!!

We do have goats, (and ponies) but even though I grew up on a beef farm we don't have any cows. Those mini do look tempting.

I have a huge hatch due next week. Vaccinated chicks available on Wednesday, 4/7. I can ship if you get enough chicks to maintain warmth this time of year (estimate 20 to 25). For people in this group, they are priced low enough you could sell half and make some money, if you want. PM me if you are interested.

Hi, thought I should introduce myself, instead of just lurking on the thread. I'm from NW PA. Started our flock of chickens 8 years ago with straight run hatchery SLW. 24 hens and 1 roo (double mistake?) Birds ever since seem to hatch 3:1 males: females. Current flock of 40 has SLW, Delaware, barred rock, EE, Silkies, Rhode Island White (hatchery. Grade) Leghorn, barred red auction buy on avitar....and barnyard mixes from our own hatching. We also have 10 ducks -khaki, runners and Muskovies. 15 more of different duck breeds arriving in May. No enablers needed as we are great at chicken math without additional help.

im not far from you, I live in erie and my chickens are in north east right off the lake!

Looks like you need some chocolate egg layers and blue egg layers. And Dennis has a large hatch next week that includes these chickens, and he is not far from you. So...
