Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

Thanks for the suggestion theron. I did find that website yesterday, but the website doesn't have much information for the Spring 2013 showing. I hadn't thought to check the county fairs.

I want to bred and show Barred Hollands. I've heard that the ones offered by Sandhill Preservation and IDEAL aren't great, but I am looking forward to getting stock from both and improving them to standard. There's a breeder in Canada, but the cost to even have hatching eggs shipped over is so prohibitive.

And I am happy to see Momma and her puppies are all alive and happy!

and another question! I'm full of those lately.

The EE chicks from Townline that TSC will have in the spring.....do they (in everyone's experience) tend to lay blue or green?

Mine lay green

Looking for some Blue Orpington chicks, anyone got any? Boy I need a incubator but which one to buy?

For a winter treat for my birds I hang a head of cabbage in the covered run. I shove a stiff wire thru the cabbage, bend a loop to attack a string to, and bend a 2nd loop to keep in on the wire.

David gave me a photo from our Monday fishing trip that I didn't know he had taken. I thought it was pretty cool so I thought I'd share it.

Yes, thank you for reminding me... I was going to look up some different brands. Can you reccomend a good brand? Or are they pretty much the same?
We were talking about this last night too.

I know that this is somewhat contriversal, but you may want to look into a raw diet for mom to help her get back where she needs to be

Yup... that one I do agree on. I always fed the trimmings raw to Baby. He had the softest coat...
