Heritage Large Fowl - Phase II

That's not flighty, though, that's just healthy chicken behavior. Chickens don't herd.

Good for you for working with such a rare breed and variety.

exactly! and i'm very new to breeding, but absolutely adore these campines -- looking forward to raising some more and seeing how they turn out.

Not me, but what breed of birds?

So, a random question, but does anyone on here live in Georgia and isn't afraid to ship adult birds?

That sounds like a random trick question. This must be about their tightening "security".

I do this as well, I use the large crates for individual male housing on occasion as well, even breeding pens for smaller bantams. Also are great "conditioning" pens in the week before the show after birds have been washed. Lots of uses for dog crates.
Dragonlady in this thread has some of the best Orpingtons you'll find anywhere. You could also attend local shows in your area to connect with breeders. If you go to the American Poultry Association site there is a list of officers and district directors, find the one for your area and contact them about why shows can be found, or even if they know any good breeders (I always prefer to make the connections myself in person).

For $30 a piece, you cannot beat them.

I'd say yard full of rocks would qualify?

No....but now you've heightened my curiosity....what say you, good sir? Who's tightening what?

My question is purely self-serving. There's a breeder in Georgia who breeds birds I'm trying to procure, but he doesn't ship. So I'm trying to figure out how to get birds from down there to up here.

I thought that might be the case after I posted.

I think Georgia is tightening up on incoming birds etc.

Where in Ga, Joseph ? I'm in SC. If he's close, I could ship to you.
