"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[adam77]

Thanks everyone! I don't have any poultry yet. I've spent the last few weeks looking over coop and run designs, and finally have a plan sketched up. I will hopefully be starting it this weekend. I've decided upon brown leghorns, but can't seem to locate any in my area. I thought about ordering online, but the minimum order sizes are to large. Any suggestions? Again, thank you for the warm welcome!!

How many were you looking at getting? That may help us help you track them down.

They are very pretty birds btw...the hens remind me a great deal of the Red Dorking hen, only not quite as heavy of course.

Welcome Adam!!

from Sulphur

Mrs. Magoo -- I love your Welcome smilie!!

I stole it from another thread here on the forum a while back. If you want it, click it to open it at full size, right click it and save it to your computer. Then just load it back to BYC in your pictures and viola...you add a picture instead of a smiley.

I used to have a really nice one of a guy riding a turkey too. I'll have to go find that one again.

I'm not sure about locally, but if you do order online, try ideal poultry. They are located close to Louisiana in Texas. My chicks arrived quickly. They also don't require large orders. Just a $25 minimum. I ordered 4 barred rocks and a couple of supplies and have been very happy with the experience.

Granted, 3 minutes after ordering, I found many people locally that I could have gotten my chicks from.

Welcome Adam!

Good morning all! In case you haven't heard, the Magnolia Classic that was scheduled for Alexandria on March 23rd has been moved to Leesville! I'm still not sure if I will be showing anything at this show or at the CLPC show in April. I have that gorgeous emu looking gened gold wyandotte cockerel, but I'm afraid of pulling him for a show, then quarantining again when I could be getting him busy with the ladies! I wish the crazy boy would figure out what his job is.

*sigh* One more day of third graders before it is FRIDAY!!! I am ready for the weekend already!

Good morning La-yers. Nothing new here this morning. I wanted to put those guinea eggs under my broody Scovy duck last night but it was raining and I didn't feel like dealing with that last night. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Have a good day ya'll.

Howdy doody adam77 and

and the La-yers thread too

There is somebody on here who's call name eludes me at the moment (happens more often than it should) IMO anyway they have Brown Leghorns and nice ones too. they around the Ville Platte/Oakdale/Unice area so maybe they will chime in on here soon other than them I don't know who has them right off. I have some BL hens but no rooster to hatch pure from, I cross mine with AGs and Phoenix. Makes good for ranging birds, alert and flighty, thrifty foragers.
