Pullets on LI, NY: 2 cochins and a silver phoenix

[garp94]

one black and one partridge cochin, one sleek silver phoenix girl. They're all 4 months old. I like raising chicks, but can't keep them all if I want to raise more, so some get to look for other homes, $20 each.

We are in SB - we don't need any pullets at the moment but we might in the future. Do you hatch from eggs or order day olds?

 

[garp94]

I usually order day old chicks. I have hatched some eggs, but not this year.

 

[DrFeathers]

We have our first six 17 week old pullets but maybe will try to connect with you to share a chick order next time we are getting ready to expand the flock? Not for at least a year at this point though

 

[garp94]

yes, do keep me in mind.

 

[DrFeathers]

Will be ordering some spring chicks from Meyer hatchery to be delivered in April - you want in on the order?

I am in Stony Brook near Nichols and 347.

 

[garp94]

I'm going to pass for now. I will be pretty busy this spring. how are your girls doing in this weather???

 

[DrFeathers]

Handling it like champs. All have done well, some of the larger comb girls have some slight patches of frostbite black on the combs but nothing terrible. Even had to leave the pop door open one night this week but with the run mostly covered with plastic (except for top ventilation) there isn’t much of a draft anyway.

Hope about yours? No frozen chicken cutlets?
