I'm looking for a pair of black bantams for one of my kids. He's 8 and is showing a lot of interest in the blacks. He's in his first year of 4-H but would also be showing at our state shows. I was hoping to be able to get a pair at the MN State show/northern national meet in October as I've had bad luck in the past with shipping of live birds.

Jenny, there are several breeders in Wisconsin with top notch Black bantams.   Rachel Dunn, Kyle Porosky, and Jerry DeSmidt, and possibly others.  I expect they will all be showing at Hutchinson.   The Alliance will also have a silent auction at the show (hopefully near the club table)  that includes birds.

Ok thank you! We will be looking and checking out what will be on the auction then too.

As of Labor Day weekend, I no longer have Black Bantams. There are plenty of high quality breeders with them. I opted to make room for varieties that are worked with less often.

As Mike said, Rachel Dunn & Jerry DeSmidt have top notch Black Bantams. Ask soon, Wisconsin shows start in 2 weeks and I'm sure they will both be looking to sell quality breeders sooner than later.

I thought I saw that David Erickson had a pair up for discussion on Facebook.

Yes, I have at least one pair and 3 extra pullets if interested.

David are yours from a BBS line or pure black line? We have BBS ones but are interested in having a separate set of just blacks.
