upstate new york

So high, I live in upstate New York, and I have production Red chickens there eight weeks old this Thursday and I am wondering when I can put them outside since our temperatures continue to fluctuate from 50 to 90° during daytime and nighttime temperatures between 30 and 65°. Is it safe to put...

Looking to re-home my Barred Rock rooster, just hatched end of June. He just started crowing last month and has started to get aggressive toward my small children. Has been fed organic grain and free ranged in the yard. Located in Owego, NY, he is free but I cant transport him.

If anyone has any silkies who need a home near Albany, NY please send me a message. Kept strictly for pets.

Please delete if this isn’t allowed. I lost my best roo today and I’m having a hard time dealing with it. There has been a local Bobcat sighting at two areas near us and we live right between both areas. Within the days of those sightings we’ve now lost 3 birds in 4 days and the loss of Winston...

I have 5 english orpington roosters that are 13 weeks old right now and most of them are stunners already! Very friendly, gentle, and quiet. 3 blacks, 1 blue, 1 splash. I might be willing to let one or two of our girls go with (also 13 weeks) if you take all! Price/trade negotiable. We are...

Hi! Just wanted to see if anyone knows of someone who breeds Pygora's or Nigora's near NY state.

I’m looking for any French Black Copper Maran breeders near me. I live in Western Massachusetts so I’d love to learn about any breeders in Mass, Upstate New York, or Vermont—even if they don’t breed Marans. Does anyone know? Thanks!

Hey folks! I'm excited to join BYC; had chickens when I was young and in 4-H (Orps! and one beautiful little Sebring). Just bought a house with a chicken coop in the backyard and am excited to have chickens again--15 years later! Hoping to start a small (4-6) backyard flock this spring. Would...

Hello! I have a family of 3 buff orpingtons who are 1.5 years old. They all get along splendidly. Tomorrow, 2 new buff orpington girls, around 3-5 years old (I am adopting rescues from a farm sanctuary) will be joining them. They've been living with their current flock for months, and have been...

Big Guy was hatched last spring and has been a great addition to our flock. In addition to being fun to look at with his fancy iridescent black and silver feathers, he's been very gentle with the hens and very easy-going with our two other roosters. But! I suspect that one of my amberlink...
