Large Fowl Modern Games?

post #1 of 6

Is there anywhere in the US where one can buy chicks or started birds? I'm looking for standard moderns, not bantams.

 

Thanks!

Just subscribing because I've been looking and wasn't sure games were LF

9 Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orpingtons,  3 RIR, 3 Black Jersey Giants, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 4 easter Eggers, 5 Pekins, 2 Cayugas, and 10 new assorted chicks-what am I doing?

From what I understand you don't find LF much in the US, they're more popular in Europe. Hoping someone will come along with more info for us!

Murray McMurray have the LF BBR moderns in their catalaog this year. I have not herd from anyone that has gotten any from them yet. Someone on here has some LF Birchens but I can't find the thread right now.

I'm just getting into the Modern LF myself!  It took several years to find them and mine are still in "project" stage, but I got some fabulous birds from a gentleman that was selling his 6 year project.  I'll be picking through my started birds really soon as I need to get them set up and narrowed down by winter.  They are all Birchen at this point in time...
