I've seen them at the APA website for $59 http://www.amerpoultryassn.com/store.htm They had a well-thumbed copy at the co-op for $60.

Well, no go on my guineas, they co-op let me know the hatchery was having difficulty hatching them. Figures. I am still on the lookout for keets!! There's another local hatchery that delivers close-by but I can't check on them until closer to delivery date. Bummer. Just as well, I've 8 chicks...

Good to know. I was going to let them stay in an open brooder, but I can fix up a chicken-wire lid for it. I've got toe warmers for transporting them home. They look so plump and contented! Ahh! That's where I am. I've got the BCM chicks and am on a list for Cream Legbar this summer. I can't...

I should have mentioned, the guineas will be arriving on Mar 28th if you're interested, but do call first and see if there's extras or if you can add to their order.

I will post pictures if they survive and grow up - I've heard they drop dead as keets at the drop of a hat. They will be hovered over. You should post some pics of your lavenders! Aww, that's what I hated about having a broody hen. When she gets up I have to go through what's left - last summer...

LOL, yes, they had pearl, white, lavender and royal purple. The royal purple is an almost black from what I can see - some speckling on the back. I heard the colored ones are slightly tamer, but wanted a bird that wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb to predators. I'd really like to get a couple...

I went in with a friend, they're getting 4 pearl and I'm getting 4 royal purple. Getting antsy!

The Jefferson County co-op has some coming in next Friday. Not sure if they will have extras, you could call.

Old barns have LOTS of ventilation. It most likely depends on how much ventilation you have. If you walk in and it smells like CEDAR, probably not a good idea.

Interesting, I followed that link. In order to qualify as Heritage, they have to have started out as APA standards and you breed them naturally. I learn something new every day.

Again, what is the difference between a Heritage Buff and the American or English Buff. I know the difference between an American and an English, but what is a Heritage? Hatchery buffs do not enter this picture. My hens are pale because they molted the middle of last summer and they always...

That's the second time I've heard "heritage buff orpingtons" what are heritage buff orps? I know there's English and American, what's different about the heritage ones?

There are so many political comments I want to make!!! I'm excited about my 4 lil marans, can't wait to see what they grow up to look like!

So to do that, I just buy a big bag of seed at the feed-store and do the soak-in-water process? Or do you need seed specific to planting, or are they all the same thing?

Ah ha! Kind of like fermented feed, but not really. Sprouts.

what's e fodder?

Wow! Brown eggs free range at the grocery store here sell for $4/doz. I sell mine to my sister @ $5/first dozen, $4/second dozen - because I deliver and she lives 30 min away.

Thank you! Those are beautiful! I gave a lady a few green eggs to decorate, but never really thought about how she's decorating them. What did they correct? I found the law several years ago, but it wasn't worth the trouble to sell with the few hens I had - they've crept up on me - but I've...
