NY chicken lover!!!!

[horsekeeper]

Does their list have more than what their website shows? Cause I've only saw one in PA that is somewhat close, and they do have whites. I thought about Dorkings, but I can't segregate too many breeds, already have brown leghorns, EEgrs and Welsummers together for eggs, all others will be segregated. Only want to try two breeds right now, the Breese and Giants.

Yes, the list is huge. You will find that there are quite a few white breeders who sell chicks and eggs.

I am on the hunt for standard size buff cochins. Not so easy to find since all the newer colors have become so popular. I have a pair and a few other colors, some from a breeder and some hatchery and they are all pretty puny. I say that, but the extra cockerels dressed out at a nice plump 4 pounds and were very easy to pluck.

If you are looking for Dorkings, check out Dick Horstman in PA. He has several nice breeds and a fair price.

Lol! Most the posters I've saw on this site are from other States, I've been in the Army, and around some of the country and most people think NY is NY, the city. I just meant I was WAY away from there! I live in the middle of redneck, hillbilly dairy farm country, some of the best in NY. Most in the rest of the Country would never believe us from the Catskills, or my favorite hunting camping mountains the Adirondacks are not much different than those from the Appalachia!
If your looking for good breeder 'show quality' JG check out 'Marias Jersey Giants' she has had a closed flock, coming from a old well known breeder. She has black, blue and splash, but no whites. A little expensive, and defensive of her birds (you will understand that one if you read her site). If I can't find what I'm looking for I'll probably try ordering from her. Sand Hill Preservation Center has the whites, and supposedly originally from the same old well known breeder Maria inherited her flock from, Golda Miller. But I have heard mixed reviews about them, and they have many different breeds of birds, not a good thing if your looking for real good bred birds. Marias only breeds Giants, and they look like big beautiful birds from the pics, she (her birds)has been featured in many chicken mags. Hopefully I will get lucky and find some good super extra large JG whites not to far from me, I was quite surprised to see Breisse on Craigslist not to far away.

Thanks, I'll check her out when the time comes. I gotcha there about Ny being NYC, when we tell people where we live in just syracuse, we have to say "Canada, eh!" lol. Beautiful mountains, those Adirondacks. If all goes to fail with finding a white breeder, you could order a number of whites from sandhill, select the best, eat the rest. Then breed the whites to some nice blacks. Offspring should be 50/50(select the white offspring to slowly work out the black colors). There would be some color problems to slowly work out, but it would be worth it, creating a bird of what your searching for. Good luck on your search and project!

I WISH I COULD GO!!!

Unfortuantely, I dont have the cash for this one as I stole from peter and paul to take the kids to the Rochester show in Mumford the first weekend in October. This one is defintely on the plate for next year.

Are there any other shows at the fairgrounds besides this one and the actual State Fair show?
