I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are getting at?

I'm bewildered.

You can get some great birds from the best breeders in the nation at a national meet.

Oh, I was just kidding around. We're city dwellers and wouldn't have room, much less time, for a breeding program (which is where it seems you are at). So I joked that you could bring an 'extra' beautiful bird if you're up our way. I certainly think they're pretty.

Thats okay PPP, I just did'nt know what you meant! They are pretty. Bantam Brahmas don't take up too much space. I live in town, small town, about 1000 people. Folks here don't mind the crowing. If your neighbors don't mind the crowing, and it legal to have a rooster or two, you could have a trio or two. You just have to feed and water them every day, the occasional vaccination-not too much time. I've gotten by with a couple of GQF hova-bators. I hope to get a sportsman before next hatching season. I have 13 adult birds, and hatched about 100 chicks this spring. You could have one trio and hatch 10 chicks if you wanted! You don't have to be big to have a "breeding program". You just need to start with the best birds you can get.

The show at Frakenmuth is a rather small show and unless Greg shows up will not have very many Brahma.

I know they are planning on going. Greg and Chad.

 

[standardbanty]

I think Chad is only going from spence/williams. In the newsletter ( I think?) Greg siad he cannot attend this year for some reason.

I m not all that sure though.

I am planning on attending.
