I didnt get a chance to meet you yesterday, but I am sure we will run into each other seeing as we are in the same town! LOL i think we each got a blue modern from the same guy. He was along the wall and had them in a pink carrier? I also got a nice splash cockerel from him too. I was regretting that I did not talk more with him about his Shamo's he had there. I picked up my modern chicks from Gretchen, who had Maria deliver them to the show for me! They are so tiny, blues and birchens are the colors! This morning when I went to feed and let my birds out for the day, I turned the feed bowl over to fill it and one of my modern hens had somehow gotten trapped under the bowl at some point during the night! The poor thing was almost dead she was ice cold and soaking wet from the condensation that had built up under the bowl. So now she is inside my studio after a warm bath to raise her body temp, some peanut butter for protein and she seems to be doing great! I have to remember to take that bowl out of the coop at night now!
yeah, that's the guy i bought mine from too! this is my first modern and i've decided i absolutly love them! they're so pretty! at first i wanted a lemon blue, but i could only find pairs and trios, an i really don't want more roosters, so i'm glad i found this one. oh, and the guy's mother apparently lives in hollis, too... isn't that crazy?? anyway, i guess i'll see you around!
Yes, you are going to fall in ove with the moderns. They were my first breed of chiocken when I got into having them as pets about 11 years ago. They love to chat with you, they are like a siamese cat in a way! I have his phone number, I am going to call him about the Shamo and ask him some more questions. I think I had read someplace they cannot take the cold weather, and are even less tolerable of it than the moderns. His mom actually lives in CT. She is a doll collector and we were discussing all the doll artists and she was interested in seeing some of my doll sculpts that I have made. Oh well, let me know how your bird is doing, i think my pullet is her sibling. Did he tell you she was laying yet? Oh, and if you decide on a roo, I may have an extra. one thing with the modern roos is they are pretty tolerable of each other in my experience.
