We're in Eastern Putnam and have been getting feed from the new TSC in Patterson, but there are plenty of Agways and such around.
I would love to get 4-6 more chicks, but don't want to mail-order a "minimum".
Specifically, I would love to get some young B.O's and maybe an EE or two.

Got any local leads?

Hi John, and welcome. TSC did have chicks for sale up until a few weeks ago. The Feedbarn in Mahopac got chicks in for the first time last week. You could check if they are doing it again and are willing to special order for you. Also, My Pet Chicken will do as few as three for a minimum order. Again, welcome. Nice having another Putnamite join in. Al

Well it appears to be that 6 of my 9 straight run BO's are roo's. 3 maybe for are not spoken for. Anyone interested in free roo's.

Rich, that's some lousy luck. At least you did wind up with three pullets. Have to look on the bright side.

Welcome to the thread! I'm Suzanne.

I'm sitting next to an incubator with 5 viable Lavender Orpington eggs in it, which are supposed to hatch tomorrow. There are 3 babies (Buff Orpington named Lola, Speckled Sussex named Mabel, Silver Laced Wyandotte named Blanche) in a brooder box in the other room. And 6 in the coop outside (Black Star named Gladys, Rhode Island Red named Agatha, Easter Egger named Rhonda, Barred Rock named Wanda, Golden Comet named Shirley and Black Australorp named Aretha). Which equals 8, of course. Not counting the 12 eggs in the mail. I have a Master's Degree in chicken math.

Keep us posted with chick pix.

There hatching already, Suzanne? Time does fly. Good luck. It has to be nerve wracking waiting for them to pip.

Hi John. There are a few peeps that have all colors of Orps In CT.
I got a few at a show, in fact, One of the girls has an "earth day special" till the end of the week, $5.00 per chick.
I have contact with them thru Facebook, but I am really not computer savvy.
You want me to check into buffs for you?
Don't know about EEs, will send a note now.
