Henry, I love your Favs, but I think for my first foray into Bantam Land, I'd rather start with a clean legged breed; at least for now.

I know exactly what you mean. Hopefully I will still be around if you are ever interested I have 4 blrw bantams in the bator so who knows what could come of that

I never thought I would say this and it wasn't on purpose but I have frizzle eggs coming in the mail

I got them in a swap.

Say it ain't so, Henry! LOL. Good luck with those.

No offense to my lovely swap buddy but these are hatching and leaving

I just can't handle silkies and frizzles! I love the faverolles though. I think I can only do two breeds at once. Maybe even just one.

No problem at all, and dont worry about time, they lay usually into October, so no rush!

Good to know, Aubrey. I'll put that away in my "brain file" and hopefully, will be contacting you before that time.

Sounds good to me,
Just getting a few trickling in right now, but it wont be long! I'll be sure to get you some. You ought to dirve down and see us sometime. If you ever head to Florida, we are right off I-75 29 miles north of the line.... Might could get you some chicks or older birds up that way,
just a thought??

Hey Boggy Bantam I have a question too, why not introduce them slowly. When i introdduced my cochin pair and 3 cochin hens at once it was like a cochin revolution. But when i took them back out and showed them eachother everyday, it seemed less brutal.
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion, but we never go anywhere. I haven't been to Florida, or even South GA for that matter, since my older son was about two months old (he's almost 33, LOL). I appreciate you answering all my questions. I'm fascinated with all the colors you have in this breed! You must have alot of pens.
