    Buff Laced Polish BEARDED Hen in Ohio

    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!

    Minimum Order Fiasco

    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?

    Call Duck Shortage

    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...

    Show Meat Birds

    I never know what exactly to look for when selecting the 3 birds to bring to fair as my broilers. All I've been told is the breast must be full and they must be as close to 7 lbs. as possible. Any suggestions as to what exactly I should be looking for? Thanks in advance!

    4H Fair Broilers

    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...

    Showmanship Breed Conundrum

    (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)...
