That would be great Donna! I was a little worried about leaving them in the car and sure didn't want to carry them around.
I am hoping to get the SFH chicks from Carol do you know where she is and how hard it will be to meet up with her?

She is in Franklin.  I don't think it would be a bad drive for you from the fair grounds.  I have not been to her place so I don't really know how far out she is.

Thanks.... I can't wait to hatch!  I think I am only going to keep the blues. So I will have blacks and splash for sale soon.

Thanks.....I'll probably go there and check them out myself, they don't have a minimum and I need pullets not chicks....really really want a SLW and a Polish and they say they have both and I don't know where else to get some that are not chicks.

WOW.....just read this posting....thanks for the info. I will definitely rethink my trip there. Mainly it was only about an hour away and Foley's would be 2 1/2 for me....but I would rather travel further for healthy well cared for pullets. So sorry for all the trouble you've had.

yes I would definitely want to drive further and know that I will get healthy birds than to drive a shorter distance and take a chance on getting a sick bird and possibly giving to my current flock

But if you was plwnning on foley birds. They are not the same prices as you are used to. I bought a pair of slw for 100, 2 pair of started BLRW for 100
Its just depending on quality and age. He might have some more blrw hens for sale?

There are only 3 more that I want but since my larger coop is still a month away I have some time. I plan on keeping the smaller one for the new guys and gradually introduce them to the others.

Maybe by then someone on the blog will have some tips on where I can get them or I'll be visiting Foley....
