Just adding my name in here. My name was in the other NC post, but I never posted in this one.

I am on the West end of Burke County, 0.5 miles from I-40 exit 94.

I raise Standard and Bantam Cochins in blue phase colors. Working on Show stock.

Standard Buff Cochins that are here just for fun. They are nice quality, but not what I would call Show.

Standard Black Australorps are my best layers and the Cockerels are great for meat. I have been working on them for a few years and have the body size, quick maturing, and laying capability(size and numbers) that I want. I will be selling hatching eggs when they start going good and 1-4 week old chicks starting in March.

I also have a laying flock of different breeds that I sell eating eggs from.

Then there is my flock of bantam Mutts that are nothing but pets. Dot is the boss of that flock and the entire fenced yard.
<----- that is Snickers over by my name. She is a professional shoulder walker.

I second the notion that Austrolorps are great layers. I have five hens right now and get about 5-8 eggs every 2 days.

I have GLW and BO's for sale. They should start laying around March. I am in Montgomery county, not to close but well worth the trip for good egg laying breeds. PM me if your are interested.

Hey Sammi,

I'm in Henderson.
It's nice to have chicken people that close.
Southern28 is in Youngsville.


What kind of chickens do you have?

 

[snugglepup]

I'm here in Creedmoor. So there are a bunch of us round here.

I need to get on Matt's list for some Australorp eggs.

Oh, and if you aren't already check out the NCPoultry yahoo group. It rocks.

Hi Bantychickenmom...
I don't have any "fancies"..just OEGBs, Buff Orps, Cochins, BRs, RIRs, Black Austros..
I just love OEGB's..
wouldn't mind getting some Japanese and silkies at some point..

I didn't know so many people in Henderson had chickens..and posted on forums.

Creedmore and Youngsville aren't too far from me.

sammi,

I've got some brown red oegb and a few extra black tail white japanese roosters,
if you're interested.

I've got a pair of 3 month old white silkies and 3 month old
buff silkies, not for sale though, but if you're interested in some whites in the spring, I'll let you know when they start laying.
