I don't think I'll have Appleyards, but there is another guy that always sets up right inside the building and he always has some. I will be on the same side at the other end near the bathrooms. I may be able to get some Basque eggs for you.
There is a fancy feathers show at the Greenville Fairgrounds the last weekend of April. It is a pretty good size show. There is also a swap for poultry and animals at the Troy Fairgrounds the same weekend. That is just north of Dayton on I-75
Hi neighbor! I am just west of Greenville on 571.
For 4H you just need to decide what breed you want and get nice quality stock. A friend and I are partners with chickens and we have many really rare breeds. My favorite is the Cream Legbar-it is autosexing, which means you can tell which sex...
Hello, neighbor! I am just north of you in Greenville.
Between a friend and I, we have TONS of different breeds, many of them super-rare, just imported in the last two years, breeds. PM me with your wanted breeds, and I will see what we have.
Hmmm..........wonder who that could be?
Absolutely! I got the first egg the other day when I went to Rachael's to take care of her birds. Unfortunately, it was frozen and had cracked.
We have those too-$15 per pullet, $5 per cockerel (that is also the price for the Legbars).
Neighbor...
May I suggest the Cream Legbar, if you like pretty blue eggs?
They are also auto-sexing, which means you can tell male from female at hatching.

If anyone is interested:
a friend and I are chicken partners and we have most of the breeds from Greenfire Farms. We will be selling chicks and hatching eggs from them as soon as they are laying. If you are interested, send me an email for prices as well as availability. Most are laying age, but...
If you raise Cornish Cross, YES! They are very messy, and all they want to do is eat. They will often not move very far from the feed, so they can mess up a coop very quickly.
I've got a bunch of BCM that just hatched Christmas Day. It is a little too soon to tell sex yet, but I can sell you several pullets when I can tell. I am in western OH (Darke County) but could meet you somewhere.
Do you have a broody hen, or incubator chicks?
Chicks absorb the yolk sac just before they hatch. It "feeds" them for up to 72 hours during which they do not need to eat anything. A broody should take care of her chicks and show them where to get food and water. Chicks learn by imitation.
If you...
We were there Saturday morning, but there was not a great supply of HEALTHY birds. Most of the birds we saw were very sickly and scrawny or old. The Spring sale is a lot better, in my opinion.
