It wouldnt hurt to check at some of the local shows for birds for sale.Sometimes you can find some pretty nice birds in the sale areas.It really depends on the breed you are interested in.We usually hatch around 150 to 200 chicks a year.It is alot of work but it's all worth it when you are lucky...

Sorry I dont know anyone with showable females for sale.We only kept 2 females out of our female lines to show last year,the rest are in the brood pen's.I wouldnt worry about the male's sickles they should be fine.The females are really tough to show anyway.Especially this time of year.
I have been out today banding some birds trying to decide who will be ready in March.We are showing in Pryor Oklahoma 2 weeks before Pine Bluff so I will probably just enter the same birds.
The Big Bird Classic 2 is coming up on March 19th in Pine Bluff.Are any of you planning on showing there this year?It was a nice show last year especially for novice exhibitors.
We will have some really nice blacks in about a month or so.I am waiting on them to mature enough to trim and see what I have.Then we will sell several.
We will be at Fayetteville just not sure what we are bringing yet.I have 60 young cockerels that I have raised this year but the first of November will be pushing it to have a few peak at that time.We do have a couple birds going to the state fair,and we will for sure be at Haynesville with a...

I go there sometimes.And yes they will be there Saturday.Some are there almost every Saturday.Its a Good place to get pet quality chickens or laying hens.
Hi Ann,It sounds like a good show.I just did'nt have anything ready.I hated to take the birds that I did to Pine Bluff but my breeders were all that I had ready enough to take.I did'nt want to chance it again.I think I will try to hatch off some late birds this year and have something...
Sometimes its good to have a small show like that just to be able to take it easy and talk to people.I know the next two shows that I will be attending will be Fayetteville in November and Shawnee Oklahoma in December.There will be stiff competition at both of these.I know at Fayetteville one...
I couldnt make this one,so good luck to all showing.Looks like my next show will be in November at Fayetteville.If you didnt go to that one last year I would recommend it to anyone.I went last year and it was really nice.I have around 70 chicks right now so hopefully I will have some good ones...
