Hi thesweetone! I'm just over in Waterloo, practically neighbours. I have a mixed flock, a few of them Chanties. Some other interesting birds as well.

Thanks for the welcome Neighbour! I've spent time in Waterloo for university and have a sister living in Kitchener - Waldau / Forest Heights. Liked it well enough though could never quite get over the whole King-Weber crossing 4 times thing!

Hi Dar

Can I ask where you get your chickens? Anywhere nearby? I know there are some places in/near Elora but don't know their reputation. Any insights?

I originally got mine from Freys they are in St. Jacobs

I have gotten a few from a chicken lady off watson road south in Arkell

I have gotten a few off hubbys friend at work that will hatch ANYTHING and we get the left overs..LOL (free of course)

I have also gotten them from the Woodstock poultry auction
http://www.pheasantclub.org/auctions.htm

there is also an auction every friday evening in woodstock at the fair grounds thats more local farmers

everything is PET quality... very rare will you find anything that is show quality

if you are looking for show quality you may want to check out the Rocton Fair Thanksgiving weekend
