Wouldn't that be awesome to import a few? 

Heck yeah! Too bad it's so expensive and a lot of paperwork. Maybe we could import them as a group

As far as I know, it's easy to import from/to canada from the u.s. Basically if someone can drive them across the border that's all it takes, they won't ask for paperwork.

I believe it is illegal. You can get in trouble for bringing fertile eggs across the border and also grown chickens, or at least that's what I heard. I wouldn't want to risk it.

I looked it up and here's what I found

"Poultry hatching eggs imported from Canada must be accompanied by a veterinary health certificate issued by a Canadian government veterinarian. However, no quarantine is required for hatching eggs of Canadian origin. Those hatching eggs imported through a U.S.-Canadian land border port do not require a USDA import permit, whereas eggs entering the United States from Canada via air do require a USDA import permit."

My cockerels are still in their ugly phase. How old are these?

these two are 15 weeks, just shy of 4 months old

I think mine are almost 3 months. Did yours have the ugly splotchy rusty phase?

Yesterday I noticed my best looking cockerel has a crooked neck. I think he got piled on in the pen and injured it. I don't want to risk it in case it's genetic so he will be going to the freezer. You can only tell he's abnormal when he drinks water.

Before you write him off completely, see if he responds to vitamins. There is something called wry neck that can be caused by a vitamin deficiency, something that a fast growing big cockerel could easily develop.

Buff faverolles?

Is there anyone who has LF Buffs or Buff projects in the United States? There is someone in Oregon? Southern Washington (cannot remember) who has the Bantam Buffs that Cloverleaf had from Liesha Comer…….
