How far have you driven just to get a chicken ?

[sourland]

550 miles round trip for a pair of pigeons. Turned out to be not worth the money or the trip.

100 miles round trip for hens I ended up having to sell 6 months later because they were so flighty and would not lay.

Only an hour for 6 hens.

1140 miles to get this cock and two hens and picked up three araucanas while I was there....with my daughter and her two daughters....road trip!!!

So worth it. Earlier this spring I went 800 miles to get these:

but I only had to drive 45 minutes to get these from Grady Taylor:

You are with like kind here!
