PolePole - If you can't find bantam pullets nearby, I discovered by accident that Cackle Hatchery now sells pullets in select bantam breeds. They're pricey, but if you only want or can only have pullets, it may be an option. http://www.cacklehatchery.com/bantam.html#sexable The bantam...

Nice birds SpeckledHen and SchipAlong!

Makes me wish I did have bantams but I'm maxed on pen space and don't dare add anything new....especially bachelor roosters! :-> I hope you find this guy a really good home. Hmm....buttercup and WFBS....no telling! It might be interesting to find out.

I'm here too. That's a nice looking cockerel but my WFBS flock is standard/large fowl. Have you tried posting him in the BST forum or if you're giving him away, in the Animals in Need of Free Re-homing thread?

Right ChicKat. BVPC does put on that show. I haven't been to the TX State Fair Poultry show before. How was it?

ChicKat and others, most Texas folks are on another very active Texas thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/44/texas

Hi ChicKat, My husband or I will be at the Klein show. What we're showing is yet to be determined. Every bird we have is a molted mess right now!! The BVPC show (Bluebonnet Classic) is on Jan 10th 2015.

Normally, I'd say #2, but based on the bird pictured, I have to go with #4. Unfair limiting to one!!

They're beautiful. Wish I were closer! I hope they find a good home!

Wow! Very nice Blue Andalusian rooster. I wondered what Sandhill's stock would be like but I can never seem to "get it together" to place an order with them early enough to have chicks before summer and it's too hot here to raise chicks at that time. I'm nowhere near you, but good luck...

Sorry to hear about the Mille Fleurs. It looks like you have the chicks all cozied in now. For the travel fatigued barred rocks and buff, adding electrolytes to the water might help. If you don't have that, try a touch of sugar water. Sometimes that's enough punch to get the them up and...

I ordered from Meyer last July. All of the chicks survived the trip without incident. The chicks were fatter and more active out of the box than those I had received in the past from other hatcheries. Good luck with your new babies!

Nice job with the door! I've been eyeballing that style for future replacement of my back door! No more dusting blinds! Stay dry and warm!

Congratulations! Hopefully, the rest will grow up strong.
