There is a weekly auction in Crowley, LA as well as Dequincy, LA. There are various swaps all over the state, but the Covington swap seems to be the best. There is also a Central Louisiana Poultry Club that is fairly new and looking for members. Good luck!Hello BYCer's, I just wanted to let everyone know that I moved back home to Lafayette from Gulfport Ms. I'm starting my flock over and will be breeding rare breeds as a hobby and when I say starting, I mean the eggs are in the incy and some still haven't arrived. I wouldn't call myself a breeder but I'm still learning, everything will be housed separate and culled to improve my flock. I do plan on selling eggs and chicks later next year to help pay some of the feed cost because we all know this is not a money making hobby if you're breeding for perfection.
Here's what I'm starting with and I'm sure I'll add more later:
FBCM's from the Kevin and Wade Jean line
75-100% English blue, black, splash Orpingtons from ReniesPeeps
Blue Isbars from Greenfire Farms
Malaysian Seramas
Lavender Orpingtons from HinkJC
Coronation/Split Sussex
Does anyone have a list of shows, auctions, sales or any other functions to sell, buy or swap chickens in La? Thanks and I look forward to being part of the La chicken community.
