Curious about shows and interested in how people started getting evolved with them. Not sure if any of my gals are show worthy but would like to see what kind of chickens 'qualify'!
Hello! I currently have a mixed flock of ducks and I'm looking to sell all of my larger breeds and buy more calls so I can just focus on them. I'm having a hard time trying to find any call ducks. They don't have to be perfect show quality, but I would prefer small ones with tiny beaks. I am...

Hi All! I just found a broody hen and I was wondering if I put chicks under her if she will still lay eggs? The only reason i am worried about this is because she is a show bird and i want to hatch more of her eggs.
Thanks!

Hi, I have this show quality light Brahma breeding project that I have been breeding and selling the offspring, but I have recently decided that instead of just selling the whole batch I want to pick out a few females to replace some of mine that are getting older and won’t be showing much...
