Whether or not you get chickens from any of them, a great resource - if you are on Facebook - is to look up, then "like" CLUCK (Co-operative of Lexington Urban Chicken Keepers). Depending on what breeds you are interested in, some do have some chicks or started birds from time-to-time. They...

Is anyone from this thread going to the Bluegrass Show in Frankfort on April 7, either to show or to swap?

If Mt. Healthy Hatchery is the supplier for your area TSCs like they are for mine, this is what they told me last week about the bantams they sell: "We only sell Bantams in an assortment of as hatched consisting of Mille Fleur, Golden Seabright, Red Pyle Old English and the Black and White...

Oh Mr. Ree! I just noticed your tag at the bottom of your last post. Red Cochins!?! Do you think you might have an extra pullet or two this season? Maybe a reject from your program? But smooth please. I'm not looking a show bird, just pets and a few eggs, so temperment is more...

I went to both Paris and Winchester. Not a whole lot at either one. I found a home for my rooster at Paris. A woman I know in Lex bought her bantam Cochins there in the past, and I was hoping, but no Cochins. There were Japanese bantams, Red Comets, some mixes, and two different people with...

Quote: By hitting "like' you will get their updates on your facebook page. That's how they let everyone know there is something coming up. There is no official membership, dues or anything.

Quote: CLUCK is the Coop(erative) of Lexington Urban Chicken Keepers. It's mostly a Facebook group, but they have had a coop tour, and sometimes they have a meeting, or speakers that talk on topics we would all be interested in. (getting started in urban chickens, feeding to optimize...

Quote: Hmmm, you live in my town and have bantam Cochins, huh? I have one blue bantam Cochin pullet, 1 bantam Brahma hen, and 2 Buff bantam Orpingtons - one of them is a pullet, the other one looks like a roo, but doesn't act like it, so I' m waiting for an egg or a crow. I don't have...

Quote: It was way late when I got there, and I think a lot of folks had pulled out already. I had to talk myself into going, since I could NOT buy anything. I saw the LF Buff Orps. Dang, those things are huge!! I think that every year when I see the standards - big, and scary. I'm happy...

Quote: That is pretty gross. I'm not full-fledged, but I lean vegetarian anyway, and I'm not sure I would want to eat something that looked like those black carcasses. The shot with the head still on is particularly icky. I do have one question though....since Silkies are bantams, how old...

Will anyone here be showing at the Bluegrass Poultry Assn. show in Frankfort on Sept 24?

Quote: Hi there! I am in Lexington, so right in your area. I am down to 11 chickens, almost all egglayers now. Hi! I live in Lexington too. I have 22 large fowl, 4 silkies, and 4 bantams. I live near the Nicholasville Rd. Walmart. My husband works at Toyota, so we're hoping to buy a farm in...

Thanks for the answers and info on the quail. Cute pets. I can handle that.

I'm going to ask this here, where my fellow Kentuckians might give me a break, instead of on the Quail thread where I might lose my life. What can you actually DO with quail - button quail specifically? They seem too small to eat (?) and how teeny their eggs must be (?)

What are the dates for the poultry show at the KY State Fair? I went to the website and could not find a schedule. Our urban chicken facebook group in Lexington is talking aout going on a "field trip" there. Also dates for the Bluegrass Poultry Club show in Frankfort? I got my first...

Where do you think the best place to go look for birds would be? I'm not interested in showing, but I don't want REALLY bad birds, either. I'm on this forum a lot, and I drove to the next state over to buy a Cochin bantam pullet, (good transaction) and I'd like to find a little pullet...

Mrs. Turbo : Quote: I just sold a very pretty chocolate one about 2 months ago I know another lady that has some....usually around $50 for the females You have goats too!! I don't know how you do it all

Quote: And you only have large fowl, right? Correct. Darn! And you are so close to me too, but definitely not enough room here for big birds.

Quote: I charge basically what the Turbos (Jerry and Rebecca Foley) sell for to me. Culls sell for $10. I usually sell the breedable hens for $15 each. I try to be honest with anyone who buys birds from me in what faults the hen might have if they want to breed for quality. I had someone...

Quote: Ah-HAH! So YOU'RE the one who keeps buying up all the bantams at the TSC in Nicholasville!! Ha-Ha, just kidding. I go there to buy rabbit feed, and every time I'm there, they are either completely sold out or just have a few large-breed production chicks left. I haven't bought any...
