Aw thanks SterkfarmMy two cents worth is this; dont get too caught up in the breed per se...for example when we started out as backyard flockers, two breeds I had heard were tame/lovely/docile (Barred rocks and buff orpingtons) turned out to be the biggest bummers of all. I have found that the best breeders to buy ready to lay birds from will handle them often, and treat their birds like pets. Also, you can 'try them out'; touch them, hold them, see how flighty or skittish they are/aren't...many times I have heard folks say 'oh my rooster is so tame my kids handle him'...biiiiig difference between a roo that cuddles and clucks in your arms and one that has barely managed historically not to spur the kids....yet.
You won't go wrong with Flat Rock's advice
There's a poultry show in Simco? That's my way! hmmmmmm ... scratches chin ...Hmmm...dates. Next weekend is obviously out being Easter and all. Weekend following I have a poultry show in Simcoe (spectators welcome!) and tree planting Sunday. What is everyone else's schedule? I might be pretty booked until mid may, lol!
What is a challenge show?Yep! Challenge show! Come on out if you are free. I have never seen a challenge show so it should be fun!
Youcan always cover with clear plastic ~ that's what they all do here in Norfolk. It greenhouses the young plants. I got some pansies today ~ could NOT resist. I NEED COLOUR!!Mid May sounds perfect. Because the plants at the nurseries are so tempting but no point until frost fear is past right?
