Hey all, we have found a banded pigeon with the following band ID# ECRA 2013 423. Any ideas on how to get him/her returned?

Bantam Buff Cochins from Tom Roebuck; 1 rooster, 4 hens, 4 cockerels. Bantam White Cochin from Frank Harris; 1 white hen Birds are good quality breeders. Can and have been shown and have done well. Would be a fantastic addition to an existing flock, or for someone wanting to get started. Could...

Yes, there were a bunch of empty cages. I overheard someone mention that one of the big exhibitors had to cancel his entry of 400 birds because he was under quarantine. Another exhibitor had over 100 entries and canceled due to a family illness. Also, one of the normal exhibitors (who usually...

Meh. Let's do this.

Not saying I know exactly how it works in Georgia - but if you were my state it may not be too late. You'd have to take some action *now*, though. In my state, to get birds tested for a show, you need to have a Certified Poultry Technician do the cloacal swab on the waterfowl. They drop the swab...

I believe there were 11 total.

Yes, they are mine. ETA; there were two BLR pullets entered by another exhibitor. All others were our entries.

Ya know.. I've been keeping chickens for almost 4 years now. Has the novelty worn off? Sure it has. I'm much more passive about the birds now than I was 2 years ago. I still love my birds, though. Have I changed breeds? You bet. Many times. As a breeder I'm just now to the point where I can see...

Quote: Beautiful! I will hopefully get there before it is over! Congrats! PS- do you ever sell eggs/chicks? I am in PA also I used to sell eggs, but I don't anymore. I only sell adult birds - and I will also sell chicks of color variations I know I will not use. For example, if I hatch out...

We entered some of our Blue Laced birds at the PA Farm Show.
