Thank you my BYC friends for your kind words. Only here, among those who know chickens, can one truly get understanding and compassion when loosing a chicken.
I am so heart broken today.
I have lost my beautiful light Brahma hen, to what I believe poison.
Few days ago my husband treated with pesticide for termites and bugs around the house, and yesterday I let all my girls running loose in the yard while I was outside working. I saw some of my...

Gavin, I told you will sell those Silkies fast. I think the guy that was selling next to me bought two of your Silkies. I have sold only one black Cochin pullet and I give away for free 5 D'anver roosters. They were very pretty, probable show quality (and expensive when I bought them at...

Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't decided yet if I should get any chicks now or if I should wait until spring when there is an easier market for them.
Welcome back in the chicken business.
I think you will find a lot more people interested in self sustaining life, now, and...
Does anyone know what shows or swap/sale places we have going on in January-February? (if there are any).
Im thinking to order some duccle chicks from Privett and keep only one pullet out of each color, but I dont want to do it unless I know I can sale the rest after a month or so, once I...
Does anyone knows of any other sale or swap place before November 26 Winston Salem ? I have few pairs and few roosters in Belgium D'anver from BBB that I want to sale, and I don't want to wait another month for it. I only know of two local auction places, but they are usually full of sick...

Is this the October 29 state fair you are asking about or is there another fair going on next week? I'm asking because I can't make it on the 29, but if the date has changed or if there is another fair before that I would like to go.

It's amazing how strong some of them are. She has actually being trapped there for 6 days. I lost her last Thursday, and I found her yesterday (Wednesday).
Well Matt I had a scare with one of my chickens similar with yours.
Six days ago I was working in my vegetable garden when I heard big commotion in the chicken run. I recognized the "screams" for predator, so I run there. I enter the run and I find all my girls and boys hiding in a corner...

Please don't think that ALL shows are like a fair. Sanctioned poultry shows are most commonly a one day event that you attend and take your birds home that same afternoon. There are some excellent quality poultry and very knowledgeable poultry people in attendance that will know if...
I went to the Cabarrus County Fair yesterday with my family, and although I was very impress with the rides and the cleanliness of the fair, I was shocked on how bad some of the birds from the poultry exhibit were.
I can not believe they even allowed unhealthy animals in a public fair like...

These 2 are not d'Uccles: picture
They are mixes that breed true. I do not know what all is in their original background, but they have bred true here for 3 generations. Body weight they will end up in the 2.5-3 pound range. Large bantams.
Matt
That's beautiful.
What will it...
