Besides posting here, you might also post in the Animals in Need of Free Rehoming, and try also on Craigslist for Boston in both the free and Farm groups. And there is a Facebook MA Backyard Chicken Owners, where you could post. I have not used or joined the Facebook group, so I don't know the...
I am so sorry for your loss. That must be very hard. :hugs
I believe I could take the 2 Wyandottes and the beautiful brown hen, if nobody else has chipped in yet. I have a town limit, so I can't take them all.
I live south of Boston and could drive to pick them up.
I have 3 hens right now...

Hi ya, Mass folks! I only just discovered state threads here. What a nice thing. I am in Eastern Mass, just south of Boston. I will be reading back, since I am such a newbie. I have 6 chicks ordered from Meyers Hatchery in late April. The timing is both good (for the chicks) and unlucky (in...
