Do Tran is an outside vendor who responded to the craigslist ad. You will see them at the bottom of our bringing/wanting lists. I will add them as they confirm

And I hear you, once my big girls outside are gone, I'm going little outside too. Right now, I already have more bantams than I do big girls so I'm heading in the right direction!

Hello all! I'm Do Tran (new to BYC). I was not able to find any local breeder of rare colours D'anver, so I just bought 15 rare colours D'anver chicks (5-Silver Quail, 5-Black Mottled, 2-Lavender Cuckoo & 4-Porcelain) from Boggy Bottom Bantams in Georgia that were hatched on 5/2, . I'll not be able to keep them all so I will bring them to the fall swap.

My wife & I were there at the spring swap in Canby to look for D'anver & Call Duck, some of you probably saw us there, it think we were the only asian couple walking around there

. We got home with a pullet welsumer.

Hope to meet all of you there. Happy Mother Day to all the Mom!!!!

Hello Do Tran, I met you and your wife. I was at the far end of the row and we had a crate of Call Ducks but I was just the mode of transportation. I'm glad you joined BYC and that you got an order of what you wanted. Have you found your Call Ducks? There is a breeder near me (Gold Hill) and I could certainly deliver again. D'anvers are so cute, congrats. Look forward to seeing you and your wife again.

You are not going to believe what I almost did? I almost adopted another special needs bird.
A man in Portland has an 'unusual' chicken that was in need of a home. I said ok, but was somewhat worried because my outside coop isn't completed and I didn't know what breed it was at the time. So I first asked if he thought the hen would be ok in a cage for a few days. (Well to make this part of the story short), I found out (this morning) that he had a few other people also willing to help him out. He said they were closer of a drive to his house and if I minded. I said no, of coarse not. So I told him I would offer myself as his back-up plan if the other's fell threw. But I haven't told you what made this chicken 'unusual' yet. (and that's the best part) Now, I have a book on different types of conditions, diseases, and/or other problems that could happen to chickens. This one isn't in the book! (Other's might have seen or heard this, but this is a first for me!)

This chicken, a three year old aracauna hen, started out doing exactly was a hen is suppose to do. Laying eggs and being a chicken. At least for it's first few years anyway. Then it happened. The chicken started to change! Da ta dum....

Apparently she felt that she was a 'rooster' in a hen's body. She became Da ta duu-m, the transgender chicken!

No, really when the hen stopped laying eggs and acting strange, the gentleman that owns her, took her to a someone who knows chickens. This other person thinks that she has a tumor that is making the poor hen's hormones all mixed up. I thought it was funny that its owner kept caller her a transgender. Like I kept seeing a chicken dressing up to look like a rooster! My mom had a RIR hen (bought as a pullet) become a rooster, but we just figured she/he had been sexed wrong. And he/she never layed eggs!
Couldn't you just see a rooster wanting to be a hen? Wearing lipstick, high heels and carrying a purse? I was seeing a hen, wearing work pants, boots, and talking all gruff. You know, transgender. He didn't say transexual, to physically change sex; but transgender to dress and act like the other sex.

ok,...anyway, I thought it was funny.

If you get them to root, I'd love to get some American Beautyberrys. The peonies that I got from you are doing great! They perked right up with water. I don't have them planted yet, I am not sure where I want them but I sure love them.
