CHICKEN BREED DISCUSSION THREAD!!

[hellbender]

Going to have to get rid of my turkey she isn't getting along with the chickens plus we don't want to build her own pen so we can get her a buddy so we are just going to sell her to someone who has turkeys and a bunch of other stuff they don't eat there birds I don't think they haven't anyways

Perhaps you could trade the turkey for a a Silkie or two??

Well ya but I don't know who would take her as I need show/breeder silkies and most of the people I have been talking to about silkies say that it's the only breed they raise but there was one person who said that they have 40 coops but I am not shipping her to Florida

Ok I am having trouble finding a porcelain Silkie breeder but u have found one but I might also consider the splash ones I really like those ones too.

Have you checked out Lancaster Fancy Fowl in Bechtelsville, PA ?
I think they actually get a lot of the birds they sell from breeders.
They have a website and do ship also.

They're back again? They went out of business last year.

IDK? I'm not getting anywhere on their website, doesn't say closed, every time I try to open something it just re-pops up their front page. Thought it was just my phone. Maybe they are closed? I have read some bad reviews on them a couple yrs ago, but also heard some people that had great luck with their birds.

I would get blues and blacks. Then u can get blues blacks and splash.

Ya I like the splash but I am thinking the porcelain ones if I can get them here I am thinking once my mixed flock dies I can split the coop up into three coops and split the run into three and I could breed three different colors and then I could use the breeding pen for silkies or I could use it for a smaller mixed flock to keep eggs in the fridge
