PA Farm Show ~ Poultry & Rabbits

Today's post is a really fun one for me because I'm sharing a few of the pictures that we took at the Pa Farm Show of poultry and rabbits. After looking through my pictures, I'm seeing a trend; I'm always more attracted to heritage breeds. They are just more exciting to me because they are rarely plain.

African Goose at the PA Farm Show 2018

This large fellow is an African goose. You can find a lot of really good information from the Livestock Conservancy website (here) about this heritage breed goose. This is not my personal favorite breed of goose but this guy impressed me with his size, such a beautiful bird.

Toulouse Goose at the PA Farm Show 2018

I think this goose is absolutely gorgeous!! I fell in love with this breed, the Toulouse, after seeing on for the first time at our local fair. This breed is originally from France and is used for it's fatty liver. It's a huge breed that I think would do wonderfully on our property. However, purchasing a pair is quite expensive. We will have to wait and see if we are able to acquire some.

Sebastopol Geese at the PA Farm Show 2018

These fancy feathered geese always catch my attention. I love how they look but I'm sure they take a bit of care to keep them so clean. They are called Sebastopol geese and are another example of a heritage goose. More information is available (here) on the Livestock Conservancy website.

I have no idea what type of miniature chicken this is but it was so cute I had to snap a picture on my way past it. If you know what it is, please comment below. Thanks.

Peacocks at the PA Farm Show 2018

These beautiful Peacocks and Peafowl were on display as well. They are beautiful with their colorful feathers.

Giant Chinchilla Rabbit at the PA Farm Show 2018

Last but not least I'm including a picture of the Giant Chinchilla rabbit that was on display. There were row upon row of rabbits but I didn't take any other pictures besides this one. It seems that this was the only Giant Chin exhibited this year. Such a shame because they are an amazing breed of rabbit.

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!
