It depends on the quality and age of the bird. 4 month old for a BQ hen is a fair price. If it is a hatchery chicken I would tell them to stick it in their...hat. Just remember, if you are buying a chick, it is sometimes difficult to tell if they are male or female. If you want certainty...

Ugh! How awful. Sorry to hear that. I wish I had some words of wisdom, but I have never dealt or known of anyone in our area that has had that problem. It may be down the line for me though, as I just heard that chickens are allowed in SOME areas of my town and not others ???? Strange world...

Thanks for the tip! We will check it out : )

Rozee I am headed to Colorado Springs for school for 4 days. I am getting certified in forensic nursing and there is clinical time I have to do there. I can't wait, I have never been to Colorado, I have only one day to see sights though : (

Haha! This is true! I wish I could build my dream coop! Deerfield has zoning laws that are cramping my style though :/

Hi and welcome Rozee! Unfortunately, there are not many breeders in this area. Do you have an idea of what you are wanting? I would be happy to sell you a few of mine, I am a bit overloaded :) Let me know when you are ready!

So happy to see all this activity in Mass! I have about 40 silkies, various colors. Please check out my site, its a fun hobby for me, not a business. But, I do occasionally have silkies I need to re-home. Nice to meet our new contributors! I live in Deerfield : ) www.fiddleheadsilkies.com

LOL, I am the same way. I can't process either. If I have any that die or are suffering, I call the grim reaper (aka my husband!) I have been selling my unwanted cockerals either on CL or BYC. There is a livestock auction just up the road from me in Whately, Ma. I have not sold my eggs...

Welcome CJ! I live in Deerfield, not much of a following here either. Glad to meet you, did you get to the poultry Congress? We looked to Denise, no luck. We ended up building our own. Good luck and glad to meet you!

Chick this link our for poultry congress info: http://www.poultrycongress.com/ The show is on the 14th and 15th in the Mallory complex, its a big competative chicken show! Definately worth a 20 minute trip. I am sure you can buy some chickens/eggs from people there. Hope to see you there!

Hi Everyone! Nice to hear from locals! I have about 40 chickens, various ages from day old chicks to about 2 years. This is my second winter with chickens and most seemed to do fine. I did lose a 3 week old chick when we had the frost advisory last week : ( I allowed a broody silkie to...

HI Jonathan, very nice to meet you!! You have a beautiful flock! My hubby would love to have a trout stream in our backyard. You are very lucky! I am sorry about those Roosters! LOL! Maybe you could consider just getting a few nice silkie hens? They are so docile. I just got a trio of...

Hi there! Glad to know there is another friend out there! My relatives live in Leverett, they own the sugar shack on rt 63 near Bull Hill. I would love to start going to some shows. If there are any in our area, would you let me know? Keep in touch!
