I really screwed up! I use two incubators to hatch my eggs, but the second one has a broken lid and I used it for my hatcher and I replaced the lid with...
Tina, I don't and have not seen any of this color in Silkies. Where do you live? Your best bet is to find some local group and attend a swap or sale if you...
Hi Tina, I have a good friend here in Missouri who has shown and bred some of the finest Bantam Cochins in the U.S. for a lot of years. He has some of the rare...
Just saw this message on another list... thought I'd pass it on for anyone who has purchased birds from MM. Definitely keep an eye on them and get any ...

Lily, And MM hatchery is not dealing well with folks telling them bogus things about it being their fault and not being stand up and replacing chicks. If MM...
I went to a show in Winston-Salem, NC yesterday. This was my first real chicken show as I have only seen chickens at state fairs. There were a lot more...
I also experienced my first show this past weekend at Marietta OH. It was a smaller show with about 750 entries. There were TONS of large fowl. I wanted to...
Angel, I saw a judge with a clerk that was not particularly interested in what he was doing. Taking his place would have been an interesting thing, to see...
I have silkies and cochins (a few frizzled also). I had several more breeds Millie Fleur, Sebrights and Japanese but I recently sold them all to concentrate...
Angel, I like a variety in my little flock of bantam hens. This is for eye candy and to get an Easter basket of egg colors. I only have clean leg bantams as...
Hi all, Just wanted to introduce myself - I am a Dutch Bantam fancier (I have a Splash, a Light Brown and a Self Blue hen I would like to start showing) in the...
Hello, We're brand new to this group and also to Bantams. We have a pullet that I have no idea what she is [cuz the neighbor's flock free ranges and she has...
I have 3 Dutch bred by Johnny Sprouse - who is apparently a really good Dutch Bantam breeder. I am happy to help you get in touch with him for more info. I...
Welcome Sara and Kate. I only have bantams, and only clean legged ones. However, I have no Dutch yet, but plan to get them sometime. I like the smallest...

Does any one know where to find silver seabright banty's that are actually small? Every one i have been shown here lately is huge too big for showing. i an...
Jo, I only have Sebrights that I got from a hatchery, e-bay, and a local breeder in NC. Mine seem small, but I have not shown any birds yet. e- bay seems to...
Hi Jo, I know several good sources of show bred Golden and Silver Sebrights. Below are a few contacts who have decent Sebrights and can probably give you...

I am not offering eggs at this time as I'm not getting much above 75% fertility rate and don't feel that is high enough for sales. Orders for live chicks...
Jo, I did not respond because I was waiting to see if anyone else (like Dean) responded. I too would love to have some, but I have never seen any or known...
they are almost too old to breed. We've gotten 2 or 3 eggs out of them and that's it this year, we're gonna move them into a bigger pen and cross our fingers...
Jo, Good luck. I know Dean talks a lot about chicken breeds that have gone extinct, that were around in a few flocks only a couple of years ago, but then the...
I finally overcame my fear of spending a lot of money on "frivolous things" and used my allotted tax return "mad money" to buy a brand spanking new Brinsea...
