Yup the one looks like a d'uccle! Other im not sure mayne oegb?
You are worse than me! Lol. Im stopping at tsc tonight and looking.

Well depending on what they end up being, I may not be keeping them all, I may have some silkies for you too Brad. lol Here are the new babies. I know the two feather legged are cochin, and the polish. There may be two bantam EE, and one black one without feathers on it's legs that I'm not sure about. What bantams are all black that aren't cochin or polish? It has balck legs too.
Here they are. Sorry pics are blurry.

I am sorry for my inexperience with your forum. I pulled this up in a search and have been reading for hours. You have a wonderful forum, full of information!

Does anyone in Northern IN know where I can buy/trade quail? I breed Coturnix, and am looking to add several new bloodlines to my flock. I currently have around 40 adults, 5 1-day olds, and a few dozen in the incubator. I have Tibetans, Rosettas, Italians, and Jumbos. I am looking for either fertile eggs or young birds. I am willing to buy or trade.

I am also looking to increase my chicken flock (have around 70). Does anyone know who sells Frizzles in Indiana? I specialize in Araucana and Barred Rock, and could trade fertile eggs or pay for eggs. We are also looking to get into some meat birds this year. Does anyone know where to buy broilers inexpensively?

Thank you so much for your help!!!

If you go back a few posts you will find a post from bradselig at the bottom in his signature there is a link to the Indiana members page, you can find most members there and what they raise/breed.
I know that Brad used to do quail not sure if he still does or not. Hope this helps you some.

I have directed a lady here from Facebook...hope she finds it. If not, she isaround Lawrence county and looking for Bourbon red turkeys and a created polish rooster. She's trying to get them locally. I'll be glad to pass along any info to her.

Does anyone know who breeds bantam cochins in or around Greenville and Corydon Indiana? Looking for a few to add to my flock. I love the feather footed breeds and love the look of the cochins and think they would go well with my silkies.

Hi, neighbor. Someone probably already answered you, but try Akers in Salem.

Hello, I have been lurking around here for a few days so I wanted to introduce myself. I dont have any chickens yet...but we are getting our chicks on the 14th and I am BEYOND excited! I have been begging my husband to build me a coop for 3 years now and I finally wore him down We also have two wild children and a couple of cats running around. So hello, I'm sure I will be back witha question or two once we actually have a brooder full of chicks!

Welcome!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it again.

6 assorted bantams. I had to, there was a bantam polish. I had to get 5 more to get her. SOOOO I think I got 2 cochin, the polish, a white one with pearl colored legs very floofy, and two partridge marked. They are teeny weenie. The silkies are going outside this weekend, and the big chickens are going out of the barn into their coop, so I think I am in the clear only having the ducks,ee's, and bantams in the house lol.

Good Luck with your babies. I probably would have brought them all home to get a polish too! Very cute.

Maggie hatched 7 chicks! Of the 9 eggs, 2 were duds. We were gone most of the day today. When we got home she had moved them all out of the nest box and onto the ground. There are 3 buff colored chicks, one with chipmunk-y marks & 4 dark ones (black, charcoal, reddish brown). Couldn't quite get good pics of all of them, hopefully tomorrow I can after my camera recharges!






Don't know which roo is the dad. This is Orville, the lemon cuckoo/lavender cross orpington I got from Brad. Yes, he and my other roo are wearing aprons. We had a couple extra & figured we might as well put them on the boys. They haven't minded being dressed up one bit! Orville's coloring reminds me of a gold laced wyandotte. He's a very handsome boy (although starting to challenge me when I go in the coop -- grrrrr).

This is my roo lavender -- yes, that's what I call him. I never figured out another name for him. He's had tail issues ever since he was little...as in only having 1 or 2 tail feathers that ever came in! He's still a nice looking guy, although smaller than Orville and certainly not the one in charge.




And these are our baby bunnies. They will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and are such little fatties! If you think it's hard taking a picture of chicks, try baby bunnies who are out to move around in a big space for the first time. I have a whole pile of blurry shots!!




They definitely have the large Silver Fox muzzle. We're still trying to figure out their coloring as it changes almost every day. The mom is a blue Silver Fox and the dad a white New Zealand.

Too much cuteness
