    If anyone is interested. My older sister passed away and she was a hoarder of fabric among other things. Bolts and bolts. Good stuff. My nephews and niece are selling it. Some fleeces and christmas decorations last I was out there. Anyhow if you're a sewer they've got an ad on Facebook market...

    I'm afraid i can't find your number in my book. I'm still Rancherhicks@yahoo. I'm doing okay. Working at Wegmans part time still. Was going to go to Seattle but the Governor closed things up and since I can't get on base, I can't see my son and his family. It's been over two years. They're...

    Hi folks, know it's been a while. Still in NYS, covid put the cabosh on moving to TX. Anyhow looking for a few hens. Older girls are okay. Gave away my other girls thinking I'd be moving south. Too I'd lost interest since my wife died. No new romance to report. Since that isn't happening...

    Well now I do know you can order Frizzle chicks. BUT WHY I'M HERE. GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE "HOMESTEAD GURU" ON A SURVIVAL GARDEN. ANYONE INTO THAT? IF YOU DID PLANT A SURVIVAL GARDEN WHAT WOULD YOU PLANT?

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Well now, been taking walks regularly. Took a look see at my Nine barks that line the road. Some growth so that may be good. Daffodils are all up. Tulips coming along. Lilacs too. Something dug under the slab part of my house messing with the Hostas that are there. I expect a ground hog but...

    I expect Tab is busy with teenagers by now. I do have her address. Baby Nora must be quite big. Maybe I'll drop her a card and let her know we're thinking of her and hers. What if anything is everyone doing special with this lock down crap? How many are home schooling or have kids being...

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    How's everyone coping with this stay at home thing? Anyone got kids being taught on line? Went out today and lay some cardboard down. Omg! Went in the coop and found eggs! I haven't had chickens for nearly a year. Don't know why the guy who took the chickens didn't take them. I was not in...

    I was talking with my sister in law and saying I'm going to use some time to work on my genealogy search. Anyone into this sort of thing? Is there a thread on here for that?

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    I seem to notice new folks at the TSC that I go to. Don't know what's going on with the company. Usually see Pam and Pat (I think her name is). Since I haven't had chickens in a long time I don't stop in. The Turkey polts where a new thing.

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Well now here's what going on here. I talk to Dave about getting some chickens but we may want to go away in the Summer. If that is possible. I do wonder what TSC and Country Max will do with chicks. I also thought of the feed thing and didn't really think folks would be hoarding it. What...

    Hope everyone is doing fine with this virus thing. Took myself out of work for a couple of weeks. I'm high risk so I want to be safe. Please unless you absolutely NEED something stay away from the grocers or use Instacart if you can. You can also use a pick up service. Do not be afraid to ask...

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    I've and am considering getting a few chickens but not sure I have any lights left to raise chicks. Sold all my stuff. However, (please don't preach) but being single I've met a guy who we've both share the same interests. Gardening, etc. etc. Keep in mind I'm 67 so it is what it is. It's a...

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Well now don't feel too bad. Once bought chicks from a breeder and they had problems. These things happen. I've had my share of experiences over the years. That was why I kept a closed flock and hatched my own chicks. Even with a closed flock you could have problems. I always culled the sick...

    Hi Folks, still kicking, just not so high. Sorry I've been away. Don't have chickens anymore. Not for quite a few months. Working at Wegmans PT and just lost interest. Wife died and all that you know. Been to Texas through December and talks of moving there. Nice and sunny. At least most of the...

    1. Generally I was hatching my own, rather than fight hens wanting to sit. Too it was more work than I wanted to put in, though chicks did grow faster if I raised them. However by hatching your own, from your own birds you can weed out the weak lines. Never hatch eggs of hens who've gotten sick...

    Well now I'm leaving for TX thursday but my dd will be staying here. So I'll have chickens a bit longer I guess. In case anyone cares to take some. Funny coop has a window or two out but under the roof of the run and no frost bite that I noticed. Coops that are damp tend to have more...

    Snow all gone here, but my runs are covered, though the plastic has been ripped some by the winds. Oh lord it just tore things up. Had to buy a new tarp for a half hoop and do a quick fix. Chickens are gone now and just sold two more hens today and got rid of two roosters. Lavender Amer, but...
