Hey there Nella --

I live in mid TN, but I frequently drive to Knoxville. I'd be happy to meet up with you some time. I have cockerels available right now, and I've also got two pullets that I'm about ready to place. One of the pullets is from Tate and has very very little mottling. The other pullet is from my breeding, and is basically mahogany mottled with virtually no black. The cockerels range from good black mottling to IMHO good mf coloration. Unfortunately, no pics for now!

also, I've sent you a PM, Amazondoc.

All I have is a few young roos available and I am still way behind Ione in the breeding for correctness. She certainly can set you up with some gorgeous birds.

I will call. Im not sure how long she will be there... I'd love for her to come snag your mottled/mille cross roo too, Patty!! He's a beaute

eta: doesn't look good. There is a $75 fee for carry-on (dogs and cats) Im sure chickens would be considered a terrorist threat of some sort.

Most airlines don't accept pets in the cargo hold. ..seems like that wouldn't be good for the bird to travel that way though I know they do when shipped.

I think even eggs would have a rough time of it as they would have to be x-rayed...

Ex-airline employee here--No chickens in-cabin, and unless things have changed in the few years I've been out of the industry, no chickens as checked luggage either. They can be sent by air freight through certain airlines, and Delta is usually the cheapest and easiest to deal with but you are still looking at a fair chunk of change, more than just sending it via USPS.

I know... I was considering someones idea about the service animal. I could make an apron for him that says "comfort pet" I would tell my friend she had to pretend she had anxiety issues and the only way she could fly was with her wubby
