    Laying flock to help fund show birds.... good idea? bad idea?

    Ok this might not be the correct place. Please tell me if it isn't. I was thinking of starting a laying flock of 10-15 hens just to sell their eggs to put the money into my show birds. Do others do this? I was thinking it over and I thought it would be a good idea. I could also show the hens...

    Best Breed of Chicken for my Daughter to show at fair??

    My sister and I have been showing in 4H for years. I give my highest recommendation to Bantam chickens in general. I LOVE Bantam Ameraucanas. They are some of my favorites. They are unusal and very sweet. Bantam Wyandottes would be a good option. Bantam Brahmas would also be a good choice. I...

    Questions about silkie hen ??

    Silkies are very hard to sex...especially for me since I'm an Ameraucana person by trade LOL! I would wait another couple of months on those young Silkies just to make sure. Its up to you how you incubate them. If you have broody ready for them go for it! If not, I would get them all collected...

    Questions about silkie hen ??

    The eggs won't be fertile unless the rooster mated with her. BUT if you sold him with in the last week or so then there could be a chance of fertility. Hens store the sperm of the rooster for 2-3 weeks.

    Rosecomb Thread

    I hope so. I'm trying to track down some show stock. I think its a very pretty variety, and an easy project to take on. The rooster looks like he is in molt (I bought these last night like I said on a whim), and I can't wait to see what his tail looks like. The hens look very old english...

    Rosecomb Thread

    Ok, I have a question. I bought these mixed I think rosecomb bantams on a whim the other day because they were mottled. I looked at the Rosecomb Federation site looking for Mottled Rosecombs awhile ago, and it seemed no one had them. So when I saw these for sale I jumped at the chance even...
