Howdy!

[BenC in QC]

Wanted to introduce myself, name's Ben, live in Queen Creek, AZ. The wife and I started out with a few random birds a few years ago as pest control around the horses, and in the last year and a half we now have a pretty good small scale (small scale, ha!) breeding program for a variety of Polish (Tolbunt/Frizzle Tolbunt, Silver Laced, Buff Laced), Bantam White Crest (and Frizzle) Polish, Mille Fleur and Frizzle Cochins, Silkies, and lots of cool barnyard Leghorn mixes. Our Barred Rocks also just started laying.

Looking forward to hanging out with you folks and hopefully learning a thing or two. We've got a pretty good system here and help out a bit with the local 4H kids in getting their projects setup too, so if I can answer any questions about storing/incubating eggs, etc, please let me know, I'm always happy to talk chicken with folks.

Welcome to our flock!

Glad you could join BYC, Ben! Sounds like you have a lovely flock with some beautiful varieties. The Polish is such an excellent breed. Thanks for sharing those photos of your chickens!

Welcome to our community and I hope you enjoy BYC as much as we do! Good luck with your lovely birds.

Great looking birds Yorkshire! We love our Polish, they are certainly quirky and opinionated, lol, but if you play with them they're really personable and pretty smart.

We've got the one frizzle tolbunt hen and two frizzle roos, and 7 smooth tolbunt chicks that we're hoping to make a go with creating a breeding flock. The hen is with Fred our gold laced smooth roo right now and their first couple eggs are about a week in the incubator!

You have such beautiful birds and chicks - so very glad you joined us. Maybe your silkies will grow up to be girls and natural incubators for your flock.

Sending good hatching vibes your way
