Heeeerrres Chickens!
First up is Freeda (my Favorite) a Bantam Araucuna
next up are the 3 other Bantam Araucuna hens I keep, some belong to my friend
and the Bantam Araucuna Rooster I call Barny Fife!
and I received 2 hens as a gift that i am too inexperienced to identify but I think maybe...
My name is Mark, I live in central North Carolina, Hillsborough to be exact. I rent an old farm house just barely in the country and have waited for years to have chickens because I wanted to buy my own place .. well, I couldnt wait anymore. I started building my chicken coop the day after...
My favorite Hen turns out to be a Rooster. Does anyone close to Hillsborough NC want a free Bantam Aracuna Rooster (not for eating). He has lots of personality and is not mean .. I raised him inside my house because I thought he was a she and she was being picked on .. well He has come of age...
not sure how far .. im near Chapel Hill .. and Yes I am sure he is an Aracuna (not sure the correct spelling) .. I got him from a fellow named Reggie Neal .. he is .. or was .. a member of an Aracuna club and thats all he bred .. I wasnt worried about breeding as I only wanted the blueish eggs...

I had this senario playing out in my flock .. I finally figured out why when I got rid of my Roo ... the lowly hen that became my favorite because she was getting picked on was actually a Rooster that was at the bottom of everyones pecking order ..
She .. i mean he ... started crowing 2...
WooHoo ... Shes Broody and separated on 11 eggs. I hope this works .. Its a bit of a Long story so let me start from the beggining.
First there was an egg .. i mean a chicken, uh .. an egg .. i mean .. lets not start quite that far back. ..... about a week and a day ago I got rid of the 1...
I had to drive a backup vehicle as my ride bailed and I loaned out my good truck ..
It was nice meeting you Asher .. I ended up with 1 Bantam Barred Rock $9 (10 months old and laying) and 1 of that Cochin ladys Black Bantam Cochins $15 (also laying) .. the Cochin hen is so sweet .. she jumps...
Good question Arlee. I forgot to ask about fee.
Im leaving at 7am if my ride shows up on time I should be there around 9-9:30am ... I hope I find the couple new bantam hens I want.

I found info on this show (Unifour, All Breed Poultry Show), happening this weekend in Salisbury at the Rowan County Fairgrounds,1500 Julian Rd, Salisbury, NC 28146 .. is it a big show ? Ive found some snippets of information but no one is letting on as to the size of the event.
thanks

mergmet that little banty black hen I got from you just gave me the cutest little cream colored egg ... Thanks .. I wish I had gotten 2 of them lol!

P.S. also .. after some thought .. I think if I had to be a chicken my chicken name would be ... "Barbeque Chicken" ...
I have mostly Bantam aracauna's in my flock and no standards but I dont find them difficult at all .. and I dont think space is an issue .. just give them a roost pole up high and they should adapt well.
I want a non bantam aracauna just to see the size diff
