Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Bossy Bantams]

Only Spangled Old English Game and Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks this time around.  Are you going to the show?

K, nice! I hear those breeds are good for showing. Anyway, where is the show?

It's the Washington Feather Fanciers show in Chehalis.

What breed are you looking for?

I'm not totally sure yet but I'm thinking barred rock, buff Orpington, speckled Sussex, and maybe australorps

Well, I live about 4 hours from Chehalis so I probably won't. :/

If you can get to the Chehalis show this weekend you can make some contacts there. Tony Albritton would be your best source for Barred Plymouth Rocks and Speckled Sussex. Kevin Noorlander is the one to talk to about Black Australorps. I'll PM you their info.

OK I know this is Washington but you need to check out the ohio state marching band on you tube.

Would you say those are a good choice for the northwest? I want to find a bird that can do good in the cold but is also a high producing egg layer but also friendly and acceptant of people

Unless you're way up in the mountains or something I don't think our climate has big enough extremes to affect breed choice. Any of those breeds are fine breeds if they appeal to you. I always encourage people to get what appeals to them, you'll be happier, stick with it longer, and do better.

Based on your post Id suggest a Brahma.
