Lovely birds in central Alberta.
If they are showing, lots of times you can meet at a show to get birds.

Oh I am liking these hens. Nice solid bodies . Can see the Cornish influence on the neck/head.

Closed flock means she does not introduce new birds. I believe she does sell some but she is very choosy as she really is committed to preserving the breed, not to making money. @CanuckBock tagging you so you can see we're talking about you And yes, she is extremely knowledgeable (and busy!).

id love to get a rooster from her if she'd consider it but before I even think about bringing more birds on this property my main concern is making sure I don't have Mareks in these birds... I hope I'm just overreacting! I've got 18 partridge chantecler in the incubator as well so I'm pulling my hair out stressing about this disease....

Not sure who to contact about testing. There is a college close by that I was thinking about giving a call though.

Give the college. Call. If they can't help they can send you on down the college grapevine.
