Quote: The state fair birds come in on opening day and are than switched out on the following Tuesday with a new set of birds. The new set stay till the end of the fair. This is how I understand how they work the state fair poultry show. So there should be new birds from what you seen there this weekend.



For a friend for the blind hen, I would recommend another "special" small chicken, so the blind one doesn't get beat up too bad from the new hen.

OH REALLY?! didn't know that! thanks for sharing! so your saying they will be switched out next Tuesday or they were this Tuesday?

They were switched this Tuesday as this is the last weekend for the fair.

I have BUCKEYES. They are my favorite! I also have Dominiques, Bresse, Crested Crème Legbars, Black Ameraucanas, Lavender Ameraucanas, Black Copper Marans, Sumatras, Bantam Chocolate Orpingtons, and Silkies.

Where did you get your Buckeye? I would like some for my spring flock. Pictures?

Just dropping a note to my fellow NC peeps that I'm looking for a happy home for my Buff Orpington Rooster.
Here's the post I placed in the Re-homing forum...

My husband and I decided we wanted to try our hand with a backyard flock and of course my favorite little chick grew into a rooster. I had a hard time parting with him so I raised him as long as I could, but it's now time for him to spread his wings and find his forever home.

We raised him from 2 weeks old and he is now 11 weeks old. He's a healthy beautiful young man that has begun practicing his crowing in the last week. Not quite a full crow and so far he only does it around five times when we let the dogs out in the morning. He's been socialized and handled multiple times a day from the day we brought him home. He's actually more gentle than my hen his age and the 6 week old pullets he's been living with. He's been living in an enclosed coop (3x6ft) with a run(6x7ft) attached to it and clocks about 2-3 hours foraging in the morning and again in the evening. It breaks my heart to re-home my favorite chicken, but I'd love to see him find a good home and a flock of his own.

His care and quality of life are our number one priority.
