calling any one from missouri

[nightowl223]

Hello fellow Missourians

We're about 80 miles directly south of Kansas City, and a mile from the Kansas border. We just got back into the chicken "business" this spring, with a "Barnyard Mix" ordered from the local feedstore, and got quite a mix, indeed! Examples include the Barred Rocks that are, by all indications, actually more Dominiques (the roos' combs are sure Dominique-style!), one that is a Turken mix, some Black Copper Marans mixes, and a few mutts that you'd have to see to believe

I'll have to check out that Jacob's Cave info, now!

(anything with "cave" in the name is guaranteed to intrigue me,

)

Thanks for the greeting, wkc

I've already gotten addicted to BYC.

At least it's a healthy addiction

From SW Missouri (just east of Branson) here. I wish I would have heard about Jacob's Cave earlier... it sounds like a place wife and I would have loved to have gone! Phooey!

I can't remember if I have posted in this thread before. I'm in Columbia right now. Hello everybody! I have three hens. 2 barred rock bantams (Mole, Marsala) and 1 cochin bantam (Dumpling).

I'm interested in getting three more pullets before winter. I don't have a particular breed that I want, but I would like them to be a standard sized bird that is a dual purpose, winter hardy bird. We are in town and the limit is 6 birds, which is good because otherwise I wouldn't stop. I can't find anything locally in the classifieds that is within an hour. Does anybody have any suggestions or birds for sale? Thanks!

On another note, I'm also interested in a coop. My husband and I are not builders and we can't take the problems we have with our current one. I've ordered the Backyard Chicken Coop book and I can't wait until it gets here, otherwise I'm buying one.
