Bantam Red Cochins, Mille Fluer D'Uccle, Free ranging guineas - Pearl, Pied, Buff, Violet, Lavender.  One RIR hen and one Black Australorp hen (Henny) who is a spoiled rotten pet.  Variety of Maran babies.  One great husband, three kids, and two dogs.  I'm a chick-a-holic so I have an ever changing number of feather kids.

Please let me know if you have any available.

 

Thnx

 

 So sorry! I sure hope you find a new girl. hugs.gif

Today was Third Grader Day at my high school. We had all the 3rd graders from the county come visit and learn about agriculture. I did a presentation on domestic chickens and I brought in my Silkies for them to see. This is the most popular response I got... " Is that a turkey?"  I don't have showgirls.. just plain old fluffybutt Partridge Silkies. Just thought it was hilarious cause there was a turkey pen right beside our table with a 40 pound turkey in it, gobbling away, while my birds are less than 5 pounds put together and clucking.
