Hello from Washington State.

[Tamarack Creek]

Hi, I am new to BYC, and I would like to introduce myself.

1. My name is Samuel, I live on a farm north of Colville, WA, and I care for my family's mixed breed layer flock.
2. Our flock currently consists of: two Delawares, nine Black sex links, one cuckoo Marans hen, six Easter Eggers, six Spitzhauben mixes, and seven pure Spitzhaubens.
3. My chicken goals for 2017 are to breed for: Appenzeller Spitzhauben, with correct type(which I acquired from Mr. Dickerson), and Bearded d'Uccle bantams.
4. I first got into chickens when my family moved to the countryside, in the summer of 2012.
5. I also enjoy fishing in the summer, hunting in the fall, and crochet.
6. The rest of my family raises, Oberhasli goats and Catahoula leopard dogs. In addition to that we also have one horse, one llama, an alpaca, and lots of barn cats.

Thank you for including me,
Samuel

Sorry to get back to everyone so late, I just received some free time. Thank you all for the friendly greeting.

Ol Grey Mare, I will try to get some pictures of my Spitzes for you soon.
redsoxs, Thank you for the referral. Maybe I will meet someone nearby.
Also, TheKindaFarmGal, I was wondering, what colors were you looking into? As well as, from whom would you buy your d'Uccles?

I'm interested in Porcelains. I will probably be getting hatching eggs (all I have available right now), but try to get the best quality possible. It saves a lot of future headache.

Maybe visit a chicken show, see if anybody has a pair or trio for sale. Sorry I don't have better info to offer on sellers.
