Well the "bug" has officially set in and I'm ready to get serious about the quality and kind of birds in my flock.
So how do you find EXACTLY what you're looking for to get to that "ideal flock"?
Now, I'll always have a mixed flock of who knows what - but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my LF cochins ... and would really like to get serious about breeding them - ideally - to try for mille fleur standard cochins
... I have some adorable mille fleur bantam's that hatched this past weekend.
So what has worked for those of you looking for very specific birds? ...
And even more specific, I'd really prefer not to ship chicks (just for my own good conscience). So that limits me to eggs or driving distance birds ... is that outrageous to find? ... Have I set my hopes too high? ...
... ... Any insight in appreciated!
... I realize this is going to be a slow & long process and I'm kind of excited about that (hopefully)
... but feel free to knock me into reality if this is ridiculously far fetched...
