If you’re interested in learning how to live more sustainably, join us for the 14th annual Green Living Expo, held online on November 6! Come anytime betweeen 10am and 5pm. I will have a virtual booth at the Expo and also speak about chicken keeping at 3:30pm.

UPDATE: Hens looking for home

Posted by chickenwoman in Uncategorized.


As of 11/16/21, these 3 hens are still available. The hens are 2 1/2 years old.

Contact Mary: mmarcano866@gmail.com.

Looking to rehome 3 hens as my daughter moved out, and I will be moving soon. We are looking to relocate 1 Welsummer, 1 Easter Egger, and 1 cream legbar to a spacious coop, as they are older hens and like room to roost. All 3 raised together since birth.

Hello, all!

I will be out of town attending on-site visits with a poultry veterinary program Nov. 3 to Nov. 5.

I will be unavailable for housecalls on Nov. 1 and 2 due to biosecurity protocols, but you can always set up an appointment for a phone or Zoom consultation!
