I want a prettier flock...

[elizabethbinary]

YESSSS I contacted someone who contacted someone and soforth and I got someone nearby with Award winning HAMBURGS

I tried google but the best I got was that farmstock website that's the ENTIRE country and usually far away.

Thanks everyone!! I've also called around about some Blue Buff Columbian Brahmas... I can't seem to find someone selling the red one! I'll see if I can find the red for my gorgeous gorgeous rooster I want.

Could I breed a red columbian with a blue buff columbian and get neat chicks? Other than what I read on the silkie aracauna thread, I have no idea about genetics.

Thank you everyone!! Woohooo pretty flock!!!

YES YES YES YES YES GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!!!!

The super award winning Hamburg breeder in the area is SELLING UP COMPLETELY. And he's willing to sell me his AWARD WINNING trio for...get this get this get this.... $60!! $20 per bird!

And a golden pheasant for $40. I'm about to DIE!!

I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYY!

I leave to get them in half an hour!!! MY NEW BABIES!

Congrats on your finds. I love it when a plan comes together.

Don't tell my girls & Roo that they are ugly, It might hurt their feelings and they might quit laying me eggs.
4 from 4 yesterday and 1 today, hmmmm.

We are going to expand the flock soon and do some serious research into peeps,
serious as in what ones do good in the cold, lay eggs and look funny.
I want funny looking chicks, but not ones with fuzzy feet.

they're here they're here!! I would get them mid-moult!!!

Once my photos send to my email I'll make a photo post. One of the hens won 1st at the big big exhibition locally. And he says this is his best rooster - and I hear from over 5 people (how I got to him) that he's 100% legit!! he's just 74 and selling it all. he had this GORGEOUS duck too!! I forgot the name (WHYYYY) but it was about the size of a baseball and had colourful wings and little faerie wings on it's wings. SO CUTE.

Edit: Oh and the man sat down with me for TWO HOURS to tell me how to show them and what to do to care for them and everything. he even showed me how to build a transport box that won't ruffle their feathers. YAY!

Definitely! My golden pheasant looks like and awkward teenager - I named him Pharoah because all his little pinfeathers on his neck look like a spinx head hahaha.

*dancedancedance*

And wow, I thought I was getting bantam hamburgs when I called the guy - nope. Big full heavy non bantams for sure!

Okay the little guys are SUPER shy around me so this was the best I could do for now until they start realizing I own the feed bucket:

The middle hen is the one that one blue ribbon at the Ekka.

My baby boy is so sad looking he needs me!!!!


I should mention the Hamburgs and the pheasant already shared a pen when I got them otherwise I'd be so nervous to put them together!!
