Yes, mapquest says it's just over 180 miles for me. Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to keep it in mind, but I'm not too hopeful I can make it. I do have to work that afternoon.

Geeb- that looks like a moving chicken QUILT!

Wow, I had no idea how big this thread was. Yes, too many snooty booty people can ruin it for people truly interested in a certain breed. I myself just got into Marans and Welsummers a few years ago.. I've been into chickens for over 30 years.. My main breed originally and for many years.. Modern Game Bantams. As I grew older, I got out of the
itty bitty birds for the simple fact that it got old showing and I simply got burned out. I went chicken dry for a few years,then about 10 years ago, and in 2002 started back in, Primarily Production RIR and leghorns. Why? I didn't have to show, and I could eat 1 egg instead of 6 lol. After the three back to back hurricanes, Here in So. Florida..I was down again. I then bought my dark egg layers. I recently bought a group/herd/sm.flock of Bantam silkies (Talk about the other side of the spectrum) and I plan to start showing again this fall/ next spring.. Chickens get in your blood.. You can't ever walk away very long.
I am curious though.. Are there any bantam Dark egg layers?
