OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

[minihorse927]

Congratulations on your move and welcome to Buckeye country and BYC!  As RedNewcomer (sorry if I got your name wrong...going by memory..not a good thing) said, Champion just got their first batch of chicks in yesterday--all pullets.  They will be getting a bigger variety later, I think including Welsumers (love their speckled, terra cotta colored eggs) and Buckeyes.  
Check them out on Facebook for more info--great folks too.  I think their "Araucanas" are really Easter Eggers--they just put the name down the hatchery calls them, but we've gotten some from them a few years ago and had really pretty blue eggs from them.

You might also check regularly with Meyer Hatchery--although they are sold out they still end up with extras each Monday and they have an "available now" spot on their website that is constantly changing so you might luck out and get the variety you want.  The folks there have always been good to work with from my experience too.  But definitely stay away if you don't want to be tempted!

I have an order coming from "Papa's Poultry" in CA sometime in the next month--all pullets, Olive Eggers, Rhodebars, Crested Cream Lebars, and Golden Cuckoo Marans.  Cannot wait, althought his weather isn't the best so will have to wait a bit...plus I've never gotten chicks from that far away, but I've read some great reviews about him and so far have been impressed.  He does have an "all pullet rainbow pack" on his Facebook site, and on his website.  We'll see how this turns out but trying to avoid ordering more...or getting some from Champion in the meantime   Really want Salmon Favorelles ad another Sultan...and no good reason...I have a problem.

dang, I want some welsummer pullets but there's no way I can make it to delaware during the week.

Champion Feed sounds awesome! Dark Brahmas are on my wish list as are Speckled Sussex and Buckeyes. We are getting a Welsummer, Light Brahama and White Rock (husband and son's picks) from Meyer. We ordered in December for an early March hatch. Husband is set against expanding beyond that until we move :/

@ShayBaby , Congrats! Hope all goes well for you.

@scootapoot , Welcome to the thread

. I am nowhere near you, but maybe someone else will pipe up.

Does anyone live near the Cincinnati area and have a BCFM rooster they would like to get rid of?

I have a few extra broad breasted white turkey poults if anyone needs some. $7 each. Chick tutors are $3 each if you want a chick or 2 with them. I'm between Minerva & Alliance.

scott!

A chick tutor would just be a chick so the turkeys will learn to eat. They red someone to teach them generally where most ducklings and chicks will eat without being shown.

Hi everyone. Only just found this thread and wanted to say hi. we are down in southeast Ohio.

If anyone is looking for a male Australian black swan, let me know. We have a male who lost his mate and are hoping to find him a new home since we haven't had much luck finding a new female.

Look forward to talking with you all!
