Farm Show 2010

All you other "crazy chicken ladies" will enjoy this post!!

Hubbs and I spent Saturday afternoon at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. This is an annual January expo that highlights PA agriculture. It is held in our huge State Farm Show complex....and it is indoors. Thank goodness, because Farm Show week is usually the coldest week of the year.

For us the highlights are the milkshakes, baked potatoes and the chickens. We worked our way through the displays of dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, goats, horses, alpaca, rabbits and pigs...and finally found the birds.

Wouldn't this guy make a great pal for Rod?

I did a bit of dreaming (planning) for birds that I would love to add this summer.

On the list are a couple of geese,

more ducks, turkeys

and bantam (tiny sized) chickens.

We were mesmerized by these frizzles....

how about a frizzle turken.....

Here are a few bantam varieties that I liked.....

Old English game birds are tiny, tiny chickens on very long legs.

Aren't these roosters handsome? They are also bantams.

Now I just have to think about how to re-organize my henhouses!
