Hey,
I had the honor of meeting mergmet in Virginia when I went to attend a workshop in NC on Thursday. She is wonderful as a person, as a breeder and as a host. Her young chicken expert son Buddy and Margaret welcomed me in their beautiful home, gave me a tour of the whole farm, and took me in the house to choose from the chicks in the brooder. I had a choice..., which is a big thing for me!! Then they spent so much time sexing the babies for me, not just blind guesses, but by consulting a reliable website and still said, there are no guarantees. I truly appreciate their time since they had so much to do for the big sale/swap meet on Saturday. I would recommend her for any breed you want, rare or not, she has it. Now there are three nicest breeders on my list. One in TN, one in AL and one in VA.
