Hey guy Stuarts Draft here! I actually had not heard of Polyface Farm. Watched a video on youtube, it was interesting. I had free range chickens inside of a half acre fenced area, it worked well except them wanting to crap on my back deck on the house and dig holes to dust bath in. Now I raise up chickens for my brother in law and let him give me a few eggs, also use welsummer bantam eggs to eat. So glad see you all trying to get into chickens and other poultry, it is a load of fun. My wife has been with poultry all her life, we also show birds in compatition such as the two poultry shows in the Rockingham fair grounds, one in the spring (Second Saturday of May) and the fair in the fall. We also know and have expeirenced problems with predators, weather and other conditions that effect animals, and animals getting sick. So if you all need any help with home remedies you all can contact me on here or get me by email from my profile. Also if you all are not familiar, there is a poultry swap over at Expoland in Fishersville off of I64 and Tinkling Springs road. It is every third saturday of the month, the first swap of the year will be March 19 from 7-12. Side information on any swap you go to, cold weather usually makes the swap a bit slow to start, but on good days usually the good poultry start geting bought in the first 2 hours. Also sometimes you will find other animals such as puppies, pigeons, pigs, or goats.
