I will have some nice quality bantam Polish pairs for sale. All of my available pullets/hens are wc black, but the boys are various colors (all can be bred to black and will produce pure, recognized colors). I do have one smooth wc black boy to pair, and he is very nice. The other cockerels...

They'll have cups for food and water, but a lot of folks bring their own. It's personal preference. If you are showing Silkies or Polish you'll want to invest in some pop bottle waterers (and some folks wait to feed and water 'till after the birds have been judged). Nothing worse...

I won BB in the junior show with my black silkie hen. I'll have to upload a picture onto here since they all are on facebook. Also took RV black with her sister, BV and champion AOV with a blue partridge silkie pullet. Unfortunately, my BB black hen passed away on Sunday during the...

Crunchie, I fixed the post. What a beautiful bird! I took the pic because my son said he liked him. I had an Icelandic rooster with very similiar coloring and Adam stopped and pointed-out your bird to me. He said he looked like Ari. I took the pic for him and I didn't write down any...
I don't know why my post above got all screwy with the blockquote...probably this stupid phone I am typing on! My text should not be in a quote block, but it is.
The show was great. Congrats to everyone who came away with wins (or who came home with new birds). I had an awesome time hanging...

Live birds in a Volkswagen Jetta??? Probably not! I'm looking for hatching eggs as well. Cuckoo Marans. Would LOVE to get a PM from someone that will have some to sell at Crossroads ....
Live Birds in a VW Jetta is very workable! Where is your sense of adventure?!?!
FYI, my primary...
Thanks Erin, for your hospitality and for putting on yet another great swap!! Yeah, the rain made for miserable wet people (and birds), but we still had a blast. And, let me tell you, my son thought camping in your field was super awesome. Apparently your farm is a more exciting destination...

Oh boy, sounds crazy. We're coming up this evening and bringing along margarita fixins' in the camper for tonight, you just stop by if you need to unwind!!

Is she chocolate? I can't tell on my computer screen. I have a chocolate call drake and another that is choc with a white bib...they are definitely pet quality though. I am not looking to re-home any of them, but if you were interested, well, I have 3 call drakes living together in...

Well, you said the magic word: Donuts. That just sealed the deal for my non-chicken hubby. All the encouragement he needed to brave a whole day at the chicken swap, right there.

But Maria I am doing both and then VA two weeks after that. I decided to give hubby the other weekend off
You're heading out to crossroads too? Cool! Think I may go ahead and do Frederick. Since I definitely won't be doing Sussex (which is the week before Indiana) and I'm...

Yeah, it doesn't hurt (or cost too much) to enter a few birds. Some of the ones I'm entering may or not be in condition by then, but it's easy enough to write "out" on the coop tag when I get there, if necessary! I figure better safe than sorry.
Hi Maria! Can't wait to see you...

Me! I have a lot of blue cream light browns right now, so that is mostly what I will be selling. I might have a light brown cockeral or two, and maybe some cream light brown pullets. I will probably be selling as pairs only. Many will be show quality, especially the blue cream...
I can't believe this show is less than two months away...where did time go?!!
I'll be there with a small number of Dutch bantams, maybe 6 - 8 or so, and maybe a few Polish if they are in decent condition (not likely, those boogers have been set on breaking tail feathers and trashing crests all...
Hey Erin, I saw a post upthread about folks liking a Facebook page...did you ever link to the Facebook page? Or am I just blind? I guess I could go search on Facebook...
