OH, I know all too well. Let's see, I have 11 Seramas, 3 Silkies and 5 D'Uccles. That's why I must resist. I've made up my mind to concentrate on Seramas for Bantams, and this spring to start building up my Layer flock. I like Bantams waaay too much, especially Bantam Cochin's. I've been resisting them for a year now, and then Blarney goes and post's those pics. I'm wearing down.

I'm sure the subjects related to regulations and the such will be targeted towards those living in Maryland, but all in all it sounds like a lot of really good info, useful to anyone who is a chicken junky.
 
I have decided to go to the Delmarva Show in March. Very excited, now I got to figure out who the heck I am going to take???

Those Mottled Cochins are awesome!!! I highly recommend them! They have awesome personalities!!! Brownie I need eggs!!! From you or I need to find some to buy, PM me your contact in Maryland. Hopefully you are willing to share!!! I need to get pictures of them again, its been to long!
 
Bower, Great Link! I had planned on attending but it slipped off the radar, thank you for the reminder!

Heather, I'll be at Delmarva, just am not sure if I have anyone show worthy right now.
 
Just looked at Delmarva again. Show is not till 23rd of March, entries due March 8th, should give me enough time to make a decision.

This is a National Meet for Belgian D'Uccles and Booted Bantams Club. The wording here is throwing me, I'm wondering if this is just for D'Uccles, or does it include all feather legged Bantams. I would not show in these categories, just wondering if I could expect to see a lot of Silkies, Banty Cochins, Banty Langshans...hmmmm. Anyone know?
