Does anyone here in MN also breed Serama??

I believe Foxhollow does. (The very first post in the Minnesota thread.)

Any rosecomb breeders? White cochin bantam breeders?

Who made it to Hutch today? I had planned but stupid weather held me at home. It's nicer now but It's a 2 hour trip, by the time I got there everybody would be gone. Hope there was lots of birds there for those that did make it. Next time

Weather was actually pretty decent other than the rain. Temps stayed in the mid-30's so no snow or ice down here. We had 200-250 people there I'm guessing. Tons of pigeons, quite a few chickens, some house birds, few rabbits... Didn't see anything for waterfowl or gamebirds at this one. I came home with 2 pair of modenas for myself and quite a few for my electrician that is getting back into birds.

We couldn't make it today cause of a 4h horse meeting

but do you need all that extra stuff if your in WI on the border? And for our pollurum testing our tester doesn't require leg bands. We have a few we stick on for shows but they're not in the paper work, so far shows have been lenient on that with us, would swaps?

If you are from WI, then yes you need that stuff technically to cross the border.

At swaps though, I'm going to add that we are not at the door checking your driver's license or vehicle plates. As long as you have a numbered band on the bird's leg and proper pullorum testing paperwork on, we are in accordance if the state officials walk in. Coming in for shows it might be a little different though. You have to turn all that paperwork in along with your show registration and they will know where you are from.

Here is the link to the MN dept. of Animal Health website... You can read what they expect for compliance. http://www.mn.gov/bah/index.html

Nope... The people that I know used to raise white cochins them sold out a few years ago. Only other guy with decent ones would be Duane Urch. I don't see him at many of our local swaps, but he does hit up the big ones down in Waverly IA. On the rosecombs, there is a guy that comes in from SD and sometimes another one from KS that has some at our fall shows. Maybe check with show secretaries to get their names.

I am just getting into Sermas and hoping to breed. I have some awesome chicks hatching out from a few of breeders on the swap site. I will be selling a few if you are interested.
