Heat lamps for chick brooders and plant growing needs will still be available. It is the normal incandescent bulbs for household use that are no longer being manufactured.
It's been windy here since yesterday afternoon. My lean-to tarp setup was blown down and had to re-set it up. Not looking forward to gusts around 50mph later this evening.
Bantychicknluv, I saw your photo in the 4-H hall today. I saw the pic of the Serama cockerel, turned to my wife and said I have seen this bird on BYC. Looked at the name on the card and it was your's. It is a real nice shot. I didn't see if you had any birds showing or not. Saw you at one point...
Check the Portland area Craig's List. There is a breeder of BBS Orps on there. Hers are 50% English HinkJc lines and 50% American. I had a cock from her, Splash. He was huge. Weighed 13lbs at 10mo. Had to rehome him to a larger bird flock as my hatchery girls were half his weight. She may also...
I won't be showing but may be there Tuesday or Saturday. We haven't figured it out yet. My oldest is in town from the Army, so we are working around his schedule.

I am gonna be raising LF Faverolles for my meat chickens. Docile and large with a lot of meat yield. Breeding Silkies for pets and showing. Gonna work on Blue Wheaten Marans Project to get it recognized.
I can keep him longer as long as he does not get into any power struggles with my breeding roosters. He won't reach a good table weight for a couple to few months. He maybe weighs 3-4lbs right now. Table weight is 7+lbs live
I have an all Black Olive Egger cockerel that is almost 4mi and just started crowing. He is not part of a breeding program here and I have my flock protector(all 3lbs of my bantam Wyandotte). This OE is docile and good natured. He has cheek muffs and feathered shanks. Putting him over brown egg...
