People come (or send their birds with handlers) from all over the nation and Canada. You will see top birds from the breeds in which you are interested. Get to see what a real quality bird looks like. The Boston Poultry Expo is a storied show. Very rich history. Started in 1849, it is America's first and oldest poultry show. http://www.bostonpoultryexpo.com/ Fall Show November 3rd & 4th, 2012 .

Quote: THANK YOU. I got some great friends who contribute to this thread. It is a great one and so much information is posted per week to learn with. So many are writing me saying I am coming back after a twenty to thirty year break. I want such and such breed and how do I get started. I am drafting a article on how to get started with two males and three females step by step as if I was starting all over again after this twenty year streak.

I think it will be helpful for those of the Plymouth Rock Fanciers club but it would work for any breed you wanted but got to make it simple. I often wonder what it would be like when I got started what I would think I would do differently if I had to start over again. Now twenty years latter and being sick for two weeks it made me think what I would do. So to occupy my mind while laying down in bed I would write this whole thing out in my head and now as my vision starts to return I will draft out chapters as I go. I think I will call it Plymouth Rock Large Fowl a beginners guide.

May take me six months to a year to go do it but maybe It would be helpful for beginners like I was many years ago.

Lurkers are you out there. Do you read this stuff? I am sure they are as I get personnel messages from you every month telling me you have been reading this thread.

Happy Fourth of July to you all and enjoy your Chickens at least we have the freedom to own and raise them and I hope we will for many more years.

Are you going to the APA National Karen? I'll be there. There should be some good large fowl there.

Yes, your lurkers are reading and learning! We are very thankful that you choose to share so much with us. Happy fourth! I will buy you an online beer! *grin
 
Can anyone please answer a question for me? I had been doing some research on BYC trying to figure out where to buy my birds. The first ones I bought from the feed stores.
Then I tried some breeders. One breeder sent me a bird that I did not know what it was till just last week and that was 4 months ago. Then another breeder sold me some JG and one has brown specks all around her neck and the others are suppose to have red combs but mine are black! I ordered some birds the other day from a hatchery! I thought I would at least get what I wanted.
I don't know what to do!

The best thing to do is to hang out on the breed thread(s) for the breeds you want. Find someone there that is willing to sell you some. Often you can find someone close to you. Other times you can find someone that is going to a Poultry show in your area where you can arrange to meet them and get birds or hatching eggs from them.

For the one with the black comb, check to see if the seller has a black combed breed at their place.
