Greetings, BYC-ers! JD here. I am going to be (finally) retiring and (finally) raising chickens starting some time in the next couple of years. We are in the process of purchasing land and building a (simple, net-zero) home in Vermont. Hoping to get insights from anyone and everyone, but...

Hello BYCers, I have an Easter Egger "pullet" that turned out to be a cockerel.... Not unusual, I know. But I'm looking to rehome him (also not unusual, I know). He's handsome and healthy, a bit over 4 weeks old, and has only been in contact with his two hatchmates. He has a good quality diet...

Hi BYC gang, Getting started with our first flock in central Vermont. They're almost 6 weeks old now: 3 Buff Orpingtons (The Butter Sisters: Plugra, Parkay, and Lil Pat Mutombo) and 3 Easter Eggers (Hombre Bill, Warren Ellis, and Stardog). They just moved into the big kid coop a few days ago...

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.

I have been raising and breeding chickens for over five years as a hobby only. My significant other and I have purchased 320 acres in rural Vermont (Northeast Kingdom) and are in the early stages of building our homestead. I would like to start breeding and selling rarer breed chickens as a way...

Hi! I wanted to start a thread for Bantam Breeders/Owners in New England. All Bantam Breeds welcome, even new odd/lovely crosses. What state are you from and what Bantam breed do you have?

I have built my new coop and want to insulate with rockwool. The problem I’m finding is the only insulation available right now is R15. Is this enough for my coop? My plan is not to heat (except for extreme temperature drops) in the winter and the coop will not be drafty. Thank you for your advice.

Hi there! We just got our first 8 chicks yesterday and I am working on planning our coop. We live in Vermont on 5 acres near Mt. Mansfield so it gets really cold and we have everything from fox to bear regularly in our yard. My biggest concern are bears. We have acreage but most of it is wooded...

HI, We are a family of three in Brattelboro Vermont and have 8 chicks two of each (RIR, Americauna, Wyandotte, speckled Sussex). Its been so great having them around. We have built them a little tractor for field trips shown and are putting the finishing details on our Covid Coop. I'm...

COLORFUL A-FRAME COOP FOR SALE. It's 8.5ft long, 4.5ft base and 5ft at the pitch. I housed 8 very large bantam hens in it, but has potential to be used for quarantine/chicken hospital, time-out coop, or brooder/grow out coop. Well-maintained and relatively clean. Could use some tightening up...

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!

Do you allow members who post without any poultry puns? From my quick look around, it seems to be a requirement! :jumpy Hi - I’m Anne in Vermont. I live on a beautiful, mostly wooded hillside with my beloved, who owns many vehicles including 1947 Ford 8N tractor. If there are tractor nerds...

I am looking for 4 mature laying hens for sale in Vermont.

Hi there, My apologies if this is a redundant topic, but I have searched high and low for months now in an effort to track down some local people in the New England region, particularly NH, who are looking to sell/swap eggs/chicks. I have been researching much of the winter looking at...

Looking to rehome three 8-week-old Faverolle cockerels. I paid extra to have them sexed... Clearly someone was having a bad day 'cause I ended up with 4 boys, 4 girls, instead of 8 girls. - Purchased from Cackle Hatchery on June 19, 2017 - On medicated feed - Not vaccinated - Friendly and...
