Hi drumstickdiva
Yes here in Ireland
You can get bantam and large fowl
The large fowl are huge
Bigger than a light Sussex
Here's a picture of one
That got champion in the Irish national show

Here's a picture to show the size difference with bantam and a large fowl rooster

So the blacks are my latest addiction, I'm dreaming of a typey pair that are show quality or very typey with minor flaws that permitted them from being shown. I have no idea how to navigate through this site so does anyone know of any that are available?
I'm also looking for black hatching eggs or chicks! I've heard a lot about catdance and have seen some of the quality that comes from her lines, myself. Does she still sell eggs? Thank you!

I need a black silkie rooster from all black breeding for my three black hens, a blue frizzle, a splash and a paint. The second year in a row I didn't get a rooster from shipped eggs. I would be satisfied with all black genetics in a dozen eggs though.
