I'll let him hatch all he can. Then he'll be nice and sell me some in the fall or next spring.

Thank you. Yes, I keep in contact with them. They are in the same boat as me, having a hard time finding new blood and need to keep what they have for breeders for themselves.

Does anyone know anyone who breeds buff rocks? I breed large fowl and bantam buff rocks. They are becoming hard to find. Plus Coonhound is always one step ahead of me in buying up any that pop up as available. I'm hoping he has enough now and will let me have some. Although, to his credit, he has be...

Our poultry club has been trying to use humour to help promote our Spring Show and Open House. If you like poultry and have an odd sense of humour, you may like some of these posts.

The Brant County Poultry, Pigeon and Rabbit Association is hosting our Spring Show April 6 in Paris. We are doing it a little different this year and combining it with an Open House for our club.

That's not to say they will all go to their new homes and start winning shows next year. A lot of work goes into the care and preparation of a bird that y...
