Southern NY, Dutchess county and below

Nice!
I'm thinking about getting a chicken foot print.

Me too! Maybe we should all go together. My daughter's lieutenant has a shop. Roberta???
 
If you set me up with a pair, I will keep them in a separate pen and send you all the eggs you can hatch

I am getting rid of two of my dark brahma roos so taking on a new one shouldn't be a prob for me (unless he gets crazy loud or nasty).
Ok we will see what hatches

I'm not allowed to have a Roo, so it would be nice
If I can set someone local up with a breeding pair
I SO wish I could breed them but my family and
neighbors would kill me I think.
 
Here's an article that was in the newspaper a couple of days ago. It shows the popularity of raising chickens in this part of NYS.
Hoping this makes are ranks even larger.

Down here, Newsday just ran an article about a man in Great Neck petitioning the town to allow chickens. The biggest town in Nassau doesn't allow chickens at all. Interesting to see if that gets changed.
 
I was going to post this in the buy/sell/trade, but it is free (so really not buy, sell, or trade), so I hope this isn't breaking the rules (if so, Mods can you let me know and I will move it). Also, I will not ship, so offering locally is the only way I can see being able to find a local home. I have 2 dark brahma roos that need homes. I would rather find a home that wants them rather than freezer camp, so if you are interested let me know. Here is Leroy (Henry looks just about the same but is a bit higher in carriage and slightly bigger):


They are good roos, meaning they protect their girls and all the eggs I have cracked have been fertile. I have 3 of these guys and have seen them bully a Northern Harrier right out of the run. They can be a bit cranky with little kids if they are messing around with their hens and they are doing the typical roo stuff. I am trying to rehome the two because they are a bit much for my hens (even with 23 of them). They all turn 1 in april (this pic was from October).
