I sold and shipped some of my culls/pet quality to a woman in Alabama and she is thrilled ($40 each). If they aren't good enough for me to use as breeder or show birds I call them culls. I hatched 30+ Columbians last year and kept 3 pullets and 1 cockeral. I hatched over 50+ blacks and kept 2 cockerals and 5 pullets. I don't hatch enough to satisfy the requests I get for good breeder quality birds.

The muscovys brought the same as at Stuart, One of the guinea cages brought $9 and one brought $16, the rest were in the 12-14 range and now you have another reason to come out cuz' I got that white peacock and he looks a lot better out of the cage!


I looked around and you were gone, I just thought Mike didn't sound like he was too excited to be there anyway!!!
Great to hear the blues are laying , that means mine shouldn't be too far behind, thanks for the info!!

Pretty sure I bought some of your guineas!

Thank you!!!

I took some new pics yesterday...

Below is a Key West that just doesn't want to feather! Has a couple on his wingtips now.

This one I cornered and caught, they are pretty quick! Except for the one above, they look like this.

Does anyone know where to get like a list of swaps and shows coming up?

I forgot to say, Eric. Brooster chipped the the tip of his top beak off >.< Idk how he keeps managing to do something to himself! At least he doesn't have a bald patch anymore lol. His comb was looking dry, and the tips a bit discolored? I put vaseline on it, have to see if that helps.

Try the BYC search. I do know St James, MN show and swap on the 30th of this month. OooH! maybe closer to you, the 23rd, next weekend is Scribner, NE show. I think the Avoca, IA show is in May, but not positive.
June 4th is the final show for the Badger Poultry Club, Richland Center, WI. Those WI shows are must see shows for anyone who wishes to see exceptionally well run show. Very neat and tidy, with excellent 4-H participation.
