i think the main thing that needs to be done is to get some chicks direct from Whiting and see how they grow out... the problem is he will only sell within 300 miles of his farm... by the description on his website it would seam to me to be a different bird than the one we have but idk for sure...

Professor Bramwell just released who the developer of the original birds was. http://www.whitingfarms.com/ He has sold the rights to the original birds to a hatchery. The debate has been since the U of A had them for several years and did some work with them were they the same breed or not. I haven't seen anything that came to a conclusion. Whiting is pronounced witting so doesn't sound quite as strange as white/blue. LOL

We're doing it again.






Peyton Creek Homesteaders Swap Meet
There was such a large turnout at the first one on April 20 we're doing it again, Saturday May 18. Any farm or garden related products from goat soap, chickens, rabbits, plants, ect. Had a lot of homemade products at the last one, like homemade butter, rice pudding & baked goods. Lots of info was shared at the first one so if you have something to share.....bring it on. Dealer setup is only $5.00. This is great location on a busy stretch of Hwy 65 between Clinton & Leslie, AR along side Peyton Creek with this great waterfall as a back drop. There may be some locals playing music. It should be a good time, bring the family....this is a great spot. For more info call 501-205-2705 if no answer please leave a msg. we will call you back or contact us here. Jerry & Hilda....Rocky Hill Farm

i am looking for a silkie rooster; color doesn't matter. prefer a bantam if possible. i have four bantam hens of different breeds and two full-size hens. They are a pretty happy group but my one silkie bantam hen is lowest of the low and her status would probably be greatly increased if my flock took on a silkie rooster. I think?
