As I looked at every d'Uccle at the Newnan show I wondered if it was yours lol. I tried to sneak a turkey but as I was asking the guy the price my Dh showed up at out of no where and said NO! and dragged me off. I did get my sussex though!

Aww, too bad you didn't get that turkey.
How many birds do you have altogether?

Would you believe ONLY three (one pure roo and two split pullets, I do have a dozen eggs in the bator). I decided to try my hand at Coronation Sussex so I am starting my project birds. These are hatched from Greenfire stock and the eggs came from him too. I really want to show next year. I did have alot of birds last year but sold them to ILovefrizzles so I could start this project. I didnt realize how much I'd miss my chickens until I sold them.

Was there a guy playing banjo when you looked at the turkeys? We were parked next to a bunch of turkeys, and were entertained most of the afternoon when the guy brought out his banjo.

I was in the open show. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but that was because a legend was there, showing his birds.
I took 6 to show, 10 birds to sell. Ended up selling 11 lol.
When I realized Ronnie Tallent was there, showing his birds, I said to DH, "If he brings anything to sell..." and DH said, "I know; If he does we're going home with birds."

My new lavender roo, to put with my lav project splits:

My gorgeous pair of black d'Uccles:

The photo doesn't do them justice. I have to get a better shot....

Are the bator eggs all Sussex?
When will they hatch?
Good luck!

Oh, that lavender roo is gorgeous!

I keep wanting chickens, blue egg layers, lavender ones.


But, I'm being good, I have 14 right now, and that is a lot for my property.

oooh, I just looked at some pics of coronation sussex on another thread, now I want some of those too!
