Where in Ontario are you? I am in southern Ontario

Hi Sandy. I am in the Haldimand County area too! Mixing different aged chicks all depends on how much space you have for them to avoid eachother. With chicks that young you will need to provide heat for them and if you only have one warm spot they will fight over it. If you have two different...

I met someone at Hagersville Auction today that said they used BYC and I gave them my username. We were talking about the chickens for sale....anyone on here meet anyone at Hagersville Auction today?

Sorry I took so long to answer. I didn't use a heat lamp in the beginning of winter but then predators took a lot of my birds and we had to move them to a more predator safe pen so we added a heat lamp.

I am a bit over an hour and a half- two hours South of Toronto and I usually use shavings.

What kind of specialty breeds are you looking for?

We are about an hour from there.

I LOVE St. Jacob's!! It is a good thing I live a couple hours away our I would be there constantly.

Wow I was so tired last night I read that as anyone in Ottawa OR Ontario....I was all pumped up and going to send a message but my phone needed to recharge so I figured I would wait till morning. Good thing I did.

Is anyone making their way to Smithville, ON this Saturday for their annual PoultryFest? Www.poultryfest.ca I am so excited! I thought I was going to miss it but now it us looking like we will make it!

:welcome What are you getting and when are you getting them?

I know I tend to baby them but when I have to drive a long way to pick up chicks I stop a few times to give them water and food. I know they don't really need it but it make me feel better.

So is anyone planning on going to POULTRYFEST on June 28th in Smithville? Www.poultryfest.ca has all the info about it. The entire town has a day dedicated to all things poultry.

Marans are very expensive birds. I paid 15 dollars a piece for straight run week old chicks. You could check kijiji. That is how I found mine. The person I got them from was just selling chicks he had hatched from eggs he bought he doesn't normally have them or I would just give you his email.

You guys should come down this way for POULTRYFEST in June
