ALABAMA!! - Page 250

Ideal has some.  I have not tried Barnevelders from them, but I have ordered other breeds and had a good experience . You can place a small order with them, as long as it comes to 25.00. Most places it is 25 birds. As a suggestion, I would order about 15 and keep the 12 I liked best. The ones that I ordered were true to type.  Their site says they are sold out until the Fall. However, if you get on their wait list they will notify you if they have any before that. Their website is http://www.ideal-poultry.com/

I'm not close to you, I'm just south of Huntsville but I had luck on craigslist, eventually.  There were many misses but I finally found some started pullets that were raised well.  I'd check there.

So anyone looking for an extra set of hands and willing to show a newbie a thing or two, if you could shoot me a message it'd be VERY much appreciated.

I would also put this in the Meat Birds section.  There was a thread for matching up people that wanted to learn with people who wanted to teach but I couldn't find it just now. 

Before my first time I was hoping to get some hands on experience but it never happened.  If you aren't able to find anyone to show you, have a back up plan in case your first attempt doesn't go as planned.  (I started and was going to use and axe, just couldn't bring myself to do it and now I slit the throat)

Also maybe post on craigslist in the farm section.

Hi, I was a Banty rooster chick... anybody want him?

Hey there, I'm looking for some orpingtons.

Need to be girls, at least 2 months old or older.

Do NOT want buff!!

Need to be large fowl.

I live in Etowah co and will drive within reason to meet/pick up.

Does anyone know of any dairy goat shows in fall 2012? I would really like to show my doe this year
