Hi Sanna, if the show is the 22nd, yes (off the record) there will be a sales area.
The state tester is giving the committee a hard time about selling birds there, so alot of peeps will be selling tailgate, out of their cars.
And I know there will be Silkies there.
Hope to meet you there, Roberta

Good. I think I'll bring a box with me and see if I can find a nice Silkie hen or two.
Yes, it's the show on the 22nd at Haddam Neck. I'm excited. Never been to a poultry show!

We are SO overjoyed!!! The Easter Chicken left us our very first egg this morning!!!



I know we are a little biased, but we think it is perfect!!

Well, here is the thing, Peep. Hubby said I could have 6 chickens. But the way it was explained to me by a dear friend and fellow BYCer, silkies only count as 1/2 of a chicken. And the babies are so teeny, they are only 1/8 of a chicken. So with 4 babies (1/2 of a chicken total) and the four bigger ones (which equals 2 more) and and then the 6 tomorrow (which is really like 3) I only have 5 1/2 chickens. WELL under my limit of six!!!

So, the way I see it, you can get at least 4 more and still be fine!

My husband just said "I think it's a chicken conspiracy."

Happy Easter all!

Does anyone have any pics of a Splash Partridge? A chick pic and an adult/juvie pic would also help. I hatched two yesterday that I suspect are this color. One came from a Splash egg for sure (because I watched her lay it!), and while it hatched with some Partridge makings, it is also very silvery and blue colored as well. The other one looks pretty much like the first. I will try to get pics today, although I've been having problems with posts and pics here lately; this is the first morning I've been able to post since Friday! Thanks!

My 4 partridges are back a few pages...... will try to find them. The pics were taken at 2 weeks, and then you can see them in my avatar.
