Anyone see the imported auctions on featherauction.com.... Wow $5,000 for two chocolate orps .....nice looking birds (especially the crele's), but I can't even bring myself to pay more than $5 for a hatching egg, nontheless several grand for a bird. Oh, well it will be many years before they are...
I've really wanted to get some barnies - but I have had bad luck ....I won a auction on eggbid for barnvelders last year, but the seller's hens stopped laying so I didn't get any eggs (got a refund) . Also tried to order some from julie gabbard and her hen's had stopped laying as well, so I had...
I have a small flock of golden cuckoos that I hatched eggs for this spring. Two of the marans (one roo, one hen) came from eggs I got from Julie Gabbard. The other birds (one roo, seven hens) came from pasinofarms (Melissa)
Here are some pics of the oldest roo (approx 23 weeks old - from the...

I have a hatch due on Feb 17th (so today is day 13 of the incubation). Things are going very well for my first hatch of the year, other than the fact that the turner in my R-com 20 stopped working after the first day of incubation (so I am now hand turning - one positive is that I was able to...
I also love my faverolles - sadly my roo had to become dinner as he became agressive around my kids, so I will need to get a new roo (I need to bring in a new line anyways, as fertility seemed to be an issue w/that roo). I currently have four hens - some pictures:
My daughter holding one of the...
Here are a couple of pictures of my ameraucanas - they are approximately 9 months old. I am not sure how good of quality they are, but the blue wheaten roo is my fav :

Thanks for the responses everyone. The birds come from Buddy Henry (Ron Presley's line). They are feather legged (some the alot of feathering, others with so-so feathering at this point). I live in South Dakota, so I think that SoCal is just a bit far for you to drive for one bird . I will keep...
I hatched out my first group of black copper marans this spring (six roos, three hens). They are now just over 17 weeks old and I went to select the best two roosters to keep. I was not able to get pictures of the sixth rooster as my camera ran out of battery charge (and the charger was left at...
I purchased my standard favorelles from Duane Urch (sells eggs and day old chicks as well). I bought a trio of adults from him at a show in MN last fall:
Here is one of the hens I hatched out from that group this spring (is now about 13 weeks, had a hard time getting many hens, out of seven...
