Sounds like it was a good stock! We couldn't make it due to amanda's baby shower today. We're hoping to make it to next months as long as it's before baby arrives! Lol
Another great stock! Ended up with three faverolles (it's great to see a whole group acting as spazzy as my original fav, this has become my favorite breed lol), and a beautiful Sussex! Thank you both!
Also picked up a little bottle of the bug spray for Amanda to try. She's been wanting to try...
The latest hatch! A mix of moderns, faverolle silkie crosses, araucanas, a showgirl, and a silkie (didn't get the showgirl genetics, but will be interesting to see if it gets the frizzle gene). Now just waiting on the turkey egg
Well, after a lot of arranging and rearranging I got all the egg into my brinsea... Lol the thing is stocked to the max. I fired up my LG (though I hate the thing sooo I'm testing to see if I can get my Cochin or my silkie to go broody for me with our eating eggs lol) so that I could keep my...
Great stock! Once again, thank you Shay and Jose for hosting! Came away with the 2 houdans, the Dominique x Sussex, a cute little black silkie, Araucana eggs, and the eggs I won in the raffle. Thank you everyone! Now to figure out how I'm going to incubate the turkey eggs with the chicken eggs...

I am definitely coming. I considered the tent thing but, having Psoriatic Arthritis I just can't do the camping thingy. My husband told me to go to Priceline and Bid on a hotel in Auburn, MA. I got it for $80.00 and it seems to be a nice place Fairfield Inn.
I will have lots to...

I can't come to the one in June, but I'm sure I'll have extra bantam roos. Probably a few bantam salmon/blue salmon/possibly splash salmon (Pontious line), and also blues and blacks if you want something different. Maybe even a splash but I've only hatched 4, and most look to be...

Mike, was that one of the little pullets you got from me last year? if she is, she is from the HatTrick line of bantam favs.
Yup, that would be the one! She's an absolute spaz, but we love her to death! Lol

Those are some of hers and...
Just curious if anyone is going to bring any bantam faverolles roosters to the upcoming stock? I kind of want to get the hen I got last year a new boyfriend. Lol chewbacca is a good boy (my avatar), and is a good rooster, And their babies are cute, but I kind of want my own flock of little...

Lol we picked some chicks up as well! There's now a tsc about 15 mins from our place, which makes any chicken needs easy access. Lol we picked up 3 dark brahmas, 3 either australorps or jersey giants, and 3 red pullets ( looks to be two red stars and a production red). Also Amanda...
This year has been a great year! Bought our first chickens, learned about the stock, ended up with more chickens than we thought we would (and I still remember telling Amanda she was crazy for wanting chickens....lol!!!). We will definitely miss everyone and everything from the stocks, but...
Not going to be able to make it to this one either Heading back to Vermont for thanksgiving and staying a couple days. So can't wait to see all you guys next spring! I did want to update on the English Angora bunny we bought from the last stock we went to. He's amazing! I've never met a bunny...
Another great swap! Thank you again Shay a Jose! This one was especially great due to all the great costumed animals! I even got to hold and get my picture taken with Woody! Lol got some pretty good pics of most of the dressed up pets! Thank you Shay for the little ones, they are already fitting...
Thanks again Shay for a great swap! Had a lot of fun! I definitely agree with ya shay, it was a total hang out day, and a perfect one for it! So glad it's getting to be fall weather! Got a beautiful little Serama roo (thank you Gypsy!), some jellies/jams and a Bantam Salmon Favorelle (thank you...
Once again great stock! Thanks again for the turkeys Cindy! Great addition to our back yard farm! Lol Thank you Shay for hosting these great stocks! Next month we will most likely be thinning our flock (time to sell a few of the pullets we're not very fond of which are mostly bantams). So far...

How young do they need to be? I have some 8-10 week old Bourbon Reds.
I definitely might be interested in them! We're looking at getting one possibly two. We're just not quite sure yet if we want a male (Beautiful feathers and body) or a female (eggs) lol Any chance you have some pics...
