    Does anyone know if you can show EE's at a fair???

    Hello From West Central Illinois!

    The Light Brahmas were an accident. We went to replace some Cornish crosses that died, the guy at F&H had some Brahma chicks mixed in with the cornishX. When I went to put them in the brooder, I noticed the feathers on their feet!

    Two 10-12 week old Silver Laced Polish Pullets

    I have 2 Silver Laced Polish Pullets I need to rehome. VERY human oriented. More like pets to me. I decided not to try to intergrade them into my existing flock because of the horror stories I have read. They are very sweet. I am selling them as pullets because that is what I bought them as...

    I have two Polish pullets that I will have to be introducing to my flock. I understand because of the head feathers they are a little harder to introduce.

    How do I know?

    I don't homeschool full time. I am considering taking the plunge and doing it full time now that they are in the second and fourth grades. How do I know they are where they are supposed to be? How do I come up with an appropriate curriculum? I am just afraid that I will set them behind.

    I used to be a nurse, I was putting my money on the leg popped out of the thigh joint. I am not sure if that can be fixed. It is a chick from cackle hatchery, so I would assume they have healthy stock

    Cochin?

    F& H (where I got them)said they didn't sell cochins and that they were Light Brahmas

    Cochin?

    I don't even see a comb. I went back to the store I got them, they said they didn't carry cochins, but they do have light brahmas, so that is going to be my guess
