Going to try the following: small flock of hens - Delaware, New Hampshire, and Barred Rock, 4 each.
Delaware and New Hampshire breeding stock will initially be from chicks or hatching eggs from heritage breeders who have been selecting...

Hello again all!
My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...

Hi friends, my name is Abby and this is my first year owning backyard chickens. I’ve had a vegetable garden for a few years now and decided I finally wanted to get some hens as the perfect companion to my garden. I bought 4 pullets from Rural King on Memorial Day Weekend 2024 - 3 Brahma (2...
I'm experimenting and looking for heritage breeds (New Hampshire, Bresse, Jersey, australorp, Maline) which I can reproduce and incubate eggs without needing to continuously buy them. I am also thinking of crosses, like:
New Hampshire x Standard Cornish,
Bresse X Standard Cornish.

hi there, new to this website. Last spring, Me and my family incubated and hatched our chicken's eggs to see what we would get. We got some chickens from a New Hampshire rooster and our Buff Polish hens, which my mom has dubbed, "Crested New Englands". I'm curious if anybody else here has bred...
Our first meat chickens are here! We have 22 New Hampshire Reds from Freedom Ranger Hatchery (Henry Knoll line). Lost just a few to travel stress, it took them an extra day to get here, everyone is doing good now. Made it through our first frost last night too (inside with a heat lamp of...
Hello,
I've been looking at the site for a few months, but have only just joined. I find the site informative and full of very friendly, knowledgeable people.
Apart from keeping chickens, I'm passionate about sculpting in oak, but that's now on the back burner and I don't seem to find the time...
This is my flock of hens and one rooster that I had incubated about 4 years ago. Today my hens are very good layers and I have recently started a new flock. It was a struggle to keep their health in good condition but after many years they're doing quite well. Australorps, Blue Easter Egger hen...

Hi!
I'm looking for silkie chicks! I'm located near Keene, NH. Willing to drive a reasonable distance, some parts of mass/vermont are close to me as well.
Hi everyone, we are located in Nottingham, New Hampshire at Jenness Farm. We have a lot of birds that are free for rehoming since we are downsizing. We mostly have bantam, Cochin, and amay cemani crosses. All are full grown or mostly full grown and ages vary. Some of them are pictured below
As much as this hurts my duck loving heart, we are in need of a great home for our 3 (Bailey, Mac, and Scout) drakes. Our flock of 8 has only 5 girls and sadly (although we were praying we were the exception 🤣) the boys are becoming a little too rough with them. They are well trained, and...
