Thanks y'all!
@Snooglerat--thanks for the info!
@jbwells-- I just might travel that far for a lavender orp. I told my husband about you being in North MS and I said "but we wouldn't travel that far for a chicken." He just laughed at me and said, "you know you would." :)
Anyone ever find out if there are any blue orpington breeders in Mississippi? Relocating to Jones County soon-- anyone know of any reputable breeders in that area with a good selection of pullets and young roosters? Or should I wait until next spring and just get chicks? Opinions?
My family is (hopefully) about to relocate from our home in the Jackson metro area to a country home in Jones County (once we sell our house and find one!). I was raised in a very rural community, and I can't wait to get back to my roots and teach my son about the outdoors/gardening/animal...
