North to Alaska!

[chicksak]

We are in Wasilla, and can get really cold spells but not all the time, however we are definitely in the wind tunnel and boy can it blow! Hopefully we are draft proof enough to keep our BO frostbite free!

My birds are born and raised in Ak and are great birds just wish I had more options.

What do you have. I plan on hitting up the fair this year and paying more attention to the birds and what people have!

Well, cold is all relative, you are cold compared to me, but warm compared to Fairbanks.

I hear you about the wind though, my big problems are

1. I am perpetually loosing power

2. I have lots of super strong wind

3. Very high humidity

4. High-ish elevation so lots of deep snow too

But every year my set-up gets better....

I would love to have fancy birds just not practical in AK.

You just need a fancy bird with a small comb

As far as the fair is concerned NOONE I know with good birds takes them They become stressed Get stolen and contract illness The people in charge are awful Your best bet is the FB groups to find the good birds

Its really to bad that people have problems at the fair! guess I won't be going to investigate then. What are the facebook group?. I subscribed to Alaska Farm and Fee but it is a subscription only page and no one has gotten back to me, so not sure it is even still up and running.

laseterlass, thank for the information. Unfortunately I don't know who to talk to that is why I was asking, trying to see what breeds I can get that would be a better quality then straight hatchery. What does SOP stand for?
Thanks Christina
