Every year I show my trusty pair of bearded buff laced Polish hens, but this year, the cold got the best of one. I need a new partner for the other hen. Help me out! Preferably in Ohio, close to Columbus! Thanks!
I was interested in driving to pick up 4 bantam and 4 standard size chicks next May from Meyer Hatchery. I know every website has a minimum for shipping (usually 15 birds). Is it the same if I pre-order my birds and drive to get them?
I fell head-over-heels in love with call ducks just from pictures. I was stuck buying Cayuga ducks instead this year because I had no connections to sellers/breeders locally. I really want 4-6 ducklings (in pairs of matching colors (1 male, 1 female)) in January or February. If you breed or know...
I am interested in Blue Copper Marans and wanted to purchase 15. I know the blue coloring doesn't breed true. I was wondering what the percentage of chicks have the true blue coloring in Blue Copper Marans. I want to purchase safetly for shows.

Thanks in advance!
I usually get 15 Cornish X birds each June to show at Fair (first week in August). Each year I end up either way under the 7 lb. maximum mark or a few ounces over. Is the 12-on-12-off method best for the rapid growth required? My birds are raised in a coop and occasionally let out in the yard to...
(I'm new to the site so have mercy!)
I purchased 15 female Polish chicks from a hatchery online and received a Polish cockerel (non-bearded), a Buff Orpington pullet, and 12 Polish pullets (2 bearded). Next year I hope to receive both male and female bantams and a whole new set (breed unknown)...
