Then of course the expert on chickens Peter Brown aka The Chicken Doctor who is awesome and the expert when it comes to what ails your birds and how to keep them healthy.  I cannot say enough about his expertise in this field.  Every penny spent with him is well worth it as the knowledge you will come away with will help you and your flock forever!  He sells a wide variety of products for your birds and it is a must to stop by his table at the shows.

Nobody from our farm got to Champion Row yet but we will keep working towards that goal as outlined in The Standard of Perfection.
