Elinor's chicks :
For Mrs. Turbo: (since you are not far from me)
What is the temperment of the bantam Wyandotte like? I know each chicken can be differrent, but I've heard they are calm and friendly, and I've also heard they are mean and peck a lot. That last comment came from a man at the Frankfort show last fall with black bantam Wyandottes he was helping his son with - I hope it wasn't Mr. Turbo!!!!!
I've posted elsewhere that I live in town, can't have roosters, have one bantam hen now (buff Brahma) and could have one or two more, tops. It is SO difficult to get someone to sell a one pullet. I got some nice responses from folks on another breed thread, but when I said I was interested in what they had, got no follow up.
I know you folks show.....do you ever bring birds with you to sell? I'm not looking for a show bird, just a sound girl for a pet, who will give me some eggs too.
might have been Mr. Turbo. Was he helping a 13 year old? Some of the bantam wyandotte roosters can get meant, but we are trying to breed that trait out of them. The hens are very sweet so you wouldn't have to worry about that. If you are just looking for a pet and not a show bird we might be able to help you out. We do bring extra birds with us when we have them. Email us close to a show and we will see what we have for you.
