Show Chickens
I have always had a few different breeds of show chickens. I try to let my hens hatch out their own babies, but I do help out the local 4-H and youth kids with fertile eggs.
Let me know if your looking for hatching eggs!
My all-time favorite breed of chicken
are the Japanese Bantam.
I have Grey, Black Tailed White, and Black Tailed Buff. Thanks to a good
friend Tracy and her clan I was able to get back some of the blood line I
was working with before I went to college.
My current Grey Jap Rooster. I have him with 4
nice Gray hens. I am looking to get some new blood line to take them
too.
This was my first Black Tailed Buff Rooster, and his first offspring
a very nice Black Tailed Buff hen out of one of my BTWhites hens.
I also have a young flock of his kids that I don't have pictures for yet.
My Current Trio of adult Black Tailed Whites
The rooster is just now coming back into full tail after a good molt.
You can see the BTB hen hanging out on the roost as well.
Also have a few nice young pullets from this group.
Looking for a nice Rooster to bring in new blood.

Lately I started working with White Frizzle Cochin bantams. Pictured below is the first trio of show birds I had. I took them to each other.. and then took then to a trio of nice white cochins I got.
I do have a few nice White Frizzle
Roosters for sale.
All my first generation are
looking quite nice.

I got a big group (30) of nice blue
cochins in spring of 2007.
Over the year I slowly picked out what small group of hens (3) and
1 Lucky Rooster to start my line of Blue Cochins
I did pick up a very very nice black cochin rooster
form a local 4-H kid that just had to many roosters around the barn!
I have 4 very nice young birds that I
got hatched out when the birds
laid for a warm week in January!
Have lots more cooking now that they are laying lots again!
