Hey Grace,
Not sure but this may be in reference to my question, but I am not sure because I was asking about the auction in Blanchard. I wasn't sure if there would be a large selection of poultry at the auction in Blanchard or what. I was definitely hoping there would be at the show. Which I am planning on attending as long as nothing major happens or a huge ice storm doesn't come in. I need to build back up my chicken supply and feed my addiction. I am going nutty like the squirrels outside. I need to get my chicken fix! Now that we were wiped out, I have been thinking on what breeds we liked the most. We had several kinds of bantams, but my DD and I seem to be more partial to the feather feeted varieties. So I think we are going to be on the lookouts for Cochins and D'Uccles. Can't really afford to get a whole lot, but I think we will try and get a few of those breeds. We are thinking of working with the Giants for the Cochins, and then a MF D'Uccle hen (maybe two), and a set of Porcelain D'Uccles. In the Cochins, I think we will be looking for any of the following: Splash, Blue, GL, Mottled (if they are any in Giants), and perhaps Buff Columbian. I think the Cochins I received from another member on here might all be roos, they are not crowing, but looking at the pics of the GL they have more of the colorations of the roos than the hens, either way we love them and think they are all very beautiful. I will have to get some pics and post and see if anybody else can tell me for certain. They are approximately 5 months old. So we are thinking of working on the 'Blue Laced Red' Cochin and the MF Cochins projects and from what I have read they could be possibly used in both.
Add two to the list for the Mexican place, for my daughter Charlotte and I. We love Mexican food!
