Superior hatchery

Decided to call Superior Farms. Just spoke with Danny. Real nice and friendly. His Buff Orps are booked for a few weeks, but he may have some to send via a friend to the Pine Bluff show in April. He said he got his buff Orps from several sources, including: Terry Britt and Larry Dye. Both men raised good quality birds and won a lot in shows. So have decided to order two dozen eggs for my daughter. She has decided that large buff Orpingtons are for her. Of course it will be me carrying them in at the shows and placing them in the coops. She is very petite and may never be able to lift them. Will train her to, just not likely any time soon taht she could lift a 10# male Buff Orpington. If I do have to lift, she will definetly be assisting. My personal belief: Youth exhibitor show their own birds, not adults.

I too believe that a youth exhibitor show and take care of their birds, not their parents or friends or anyother person besides them.

And where did you get that info? I've been communicating with Danny on some hatching eggs and he hasn't said anything about that.

Just spoke with Danny. He was recently informed that the owners of Superior Farms is dispersing. A corporate decision. I will be getting my eggs. I would suggest that if you have an order, you check on it. The flock will be dispersed by April 15. Danny said he is returning to Florida.

I don't think Danny can sell anything at this time. Better check before you waste a trip. Tom

I have also recently spoke to Danny. From what I understood, they aren't actually dispersing the birds as some here seem to think. They are sending them to NY and PA. I was supposed to be getting Black Sumatras from Superior this fall. When I asked about getting birds now, I was told they weren't selling any birds currently????

They are taking them to NY and OH auctions..... heard this first hand, so I guess they are "dispersing" them in a way.
