    Going to miss my Bundle :(

    Friday night, raccoons broke into my pen of prized mille fleurs and killed Bundle and his 3 hens. They were a result of several generations of my breedings. So upsetting. Bundle won 1st place at the Florida State Fair and was always there to greet me at the door when I fed them. He inspired...

    Drawbacks to Showing Chickens?

    I think this year I will be showing my mille fleur d'uccles at the state fair. My biggest concern (besides someone stealing my birds) is that they might catch something contagious and bring it back to my flock. My birds are part of a closed flock and are very healthy, I would hate to bring a...
