I really need to get back into these guys. I haven't been on here for a loooong...... time. I can't believe this thread is still going strong! That's awesome. Ok so would any of you guys still working on Mille's be willing to sell me some eggs to get things rolling again. Send me a message if...
Hi everyone. I hope everybody has some great looking birds developing. Its been a while since Ive been able to sign on and read through the posts.
I thought Id mention that Ive got to find homes for a few pairs of young Milles (8 months old or so) and Ive got several BC x Mille pullets...
Howdy, so you all know about the Utah Fancy Poultry Association show this coming weekend don't you? I just thought I'd make sure that everyone on this thread knew about it. It's at the Davis County fairgrounds in Farmington, Friday and Saturday.

Thanks for the info! Does the club keep a roster of members who are breeders/sellers? I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the auction at the March show, but I am interested in getting some birds from local breeders.
I'm not sure if they have a breeder list that they distribute or...
Hi all, Im a member of the UFPA. You dont have to be a member to purchase birds from the show auctions. They are open to anyone that wants to bid.

ditto. She caught my eye right away. I would love to have her. Congrats on a nice looking flock, Patty.
Ive got several with a little darker base like that which Ive kept. I seem to be pulled more towards the mahogany color even though its probably too dark for what we are...
