Braclin, I apologize as I did not mean to come across in such a negative manner or to step on any toes. As I said, this was the first poultry show I had ever been to and obviously have much to learn. I did learn a lot and enjoyed getting to read the judges comments about the birds and to...

I was just wondering if the KY State Fair Poultry Show is typical or not. I went on Saturday just to see the chickens and was somewhat disappointed by what I saw. I've been raising chickens for a little over three years now but this is the first poultry show that I have ever been to. There...

Quote: Hi from Sadieville Chicklette 1! You'll enjoy BYC - lots of good info. I started with just 6 or 7 chickens myself and now I think I have around 75 (how did that happen ). Chickens are very addictive!

Quote: I was planning to go as I have quite a few young birds to sell. However, now it seems I am going horse shopping instead.

Quote: So its not just my imagination. I thought it it seemed like the predators were bad this year. We too have been fighting the racoon wars - 4 caught so far. I had a big nasty boar coon come in broad daylight and kill my best Faverolles rooster in his temporary pen! That rooster...

Quote: Colby, You might check with Dr. George Sutton's wife. I THINK she has those. They live in Georgetown.

I am planning to be at the Sadieville swap this Saturday. I will have 2 Silkie hens (1 yr), 1 Marans/Fav cross pullet (10 months), maybe 1 Faverolles pullet (14 weeks) and several cockerels - 1 Splash Fav, 1 OEG/Fav, 2 or 3 Salmon Faverolles, all 14 weeks. I also have 1 Blue Marans cockerel...

Sooo sweet Whimsy! I love broodies! I have 2 Silkies and a Cochin sitting (setting? have to look that up) on eggs and all are due to hatch this Sunday. The Silkies are a hoot as one went broody just a few days after the other and they are sharing 5 eggs between them in the same nestbox...

Quote: Local chickens lovers are always welcome here!

Colby, when you actually have honey for sale, please let me know as my husband loves honey and I would like to get some that is local. Supposedly it helps with allergies IF its local.

Quote: Good Luck! . . . and better you than me.

Quote: Oooh, I'd be dropping some roosters off at the checkout register if a few months if that happened to me! Colby I can just see you walking in with your cardboard box to the customer service desk and saying "I have some items I need to return - I have my receipt . . . ."

Quote: I have too many yard birds to hatch them all, but eventually I'd like to be to the point where I have no 'eating eggs' laid here Don't you have a mutt pen? Their mutt pen is called my house. I buy a lot of their culls for my egg customers. I'm raising my egg prices to $3/dozen...

Quote: Thank you turbo! Glad to have that cleared up and to know the TSC manager did (sort of) know what he was talking about. Now if some one asks me I can at least sound like I know what I'm talking about. Except that only TSC enforces it so no one will believe you Yeah, they'll just...

Quote: It's not a state law, my local feed store will let you buy 1 chick or 100. Boy I hate to jump in here but as a director for animal control in Hardin County, I can tell you that selling a min. of 6 chicks is a state law...we have had to go to a few feed stores and explain it to...

Quote: The manager at the TSC in Georgetown actually told me that it is a requirement of the state of KY. Something to do with the fact that chickens are not considered pets but livestock . . . ? Not sure if this is actually so but that is what he said anyway.
