Hi. I've been lurking for about 6 months...

I'm in the Melbourne area. I have 6 sex links (3 red, 3 black) an EE, a RIR, and a Dominique. I want to get 6 more Doms early next year.

Any ideas for a good place to get them? I don't think Stan has them, do you Stan? (I'd LOVE to get some of your birds...) I've checked out the Funky Chicken website a couple of times, they are pretty close to my house. What is their "actual" reputation?

I def think we can justify a more 'south' based Florida Swap. Okeechobee area (or there abouts) would be very central for both west and east cost and more southern based back-yarders. Who's gonna organise it???

Maybe Cmom or someone like that who has done this before wouldn't mind helping us putting something together?

FCF gets their chicks from a hatchery.So I don't deal with them.But I got some roos I would love to get rid of.PM me if you would like to come see them.They free range in the daytime & get locked up at nit.I'm NPIP Ceritified.

I don't have any Dominiques. I mostly raise Barred Rocks. If I remember correctly, some one in the Oakachobie area was looking for them a while back. I don't know if they found any, and I don't know where to start. Maybe post on the Buy-Sell-trade section, or look for a Dom breed page? Sorry .......stan

Thanks everybody!

My Dom is a rescue bird, got "run over" by the chicken tractor while it was being moved, so she is off by herself in a rabbit hutch (at night, free range during the day in a fenced garden area) and I'm hoping to get some chicks for her. I don't have/want any roos. My dom is noisy enough without adding roosters. I live in the "country" but close enough to a neighborhood that there would probably be issues. She is a good and steady layer - earns her feed and has shown broody tendencies, so maybe, once I have more experience, I'll try the fertilized egg thing.

I can look around to see if I can locate some for you but it might take awhile but I'll look since you are close.
