My hens are all molting. They should begin laying here within a month (if it doesn't get too cold). I have a set of pullets that I hope will start laying around Christmas.

I know!!!! My son is ordering a buff to add to his flock. We will be looking for some white Minorca chicks.

Yeah, we're getting a bunch of pullets and several cockerels in black, and my DD wants to get some bantams (including a few Cochin girls) for her bantam Cochin roo.
I've never heard of white Minorca

Yes. That is how the very rare Blue Minorca is bred. I am sure that there are some in the states, but I have yet to find any.

Oh. Thanks for the info! I'll see if I can help look, if you want.

Thanks!

I looked hard. I'll keep trying to find different ways to search and let you know if I come up with anything. =)
YW; I'd like to see them myself, maybe even get some.

I know what you mean. We do not have any white birds and this is the only one that I would even consider. I love Minorcas! Unless I find one that just absolutely fascinates me.

I found a breeder directory for breeders in Ireland:
http://www.irishfowl.com/irish-poultry-breeders.php?q=minorc&name=Minorca
I searched by breed and that's the list that comes up when you click on Minorca

The Poultry Club of Great Britain: http://www.poultryclub.org/breed-gallery/page/category/chickens/
has breed-specific clubs: http://www.poultryclub.org/poultry/breed-clubs/
Here's the link for just the Minorca club, but there's a little more info on the breed clubs page, the name and a little contact info for the leader of the club, etc.: http://www.poultryclub.org/minorcaclub/

Here's the most promising one I've found so far: http://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Minorcas.html

I hope these help. I have school work I have to get started on. LMK if you come up with anything, okay?
