The weather was crisp, but the skys were blue and the roads dry and cleared of slush. So it was a beautiful day to take a little road trip (402 miles) to visit Wayne Meredith at his place near Milwaukee. Wayne tells me I hadn\'t been there for about ten years, but it didn\'t seem that long to me. When I drove in the yard I couldn\'t believe my eyes. Four years ago Wayne built a veritable mansion, and I had not known about it. When you have multiple high pillars in one room INSIDE the house you know it is no shack. I wish I had my camera with, but left it home. While there I picked out three blue wheaten pullets and a cockerel for a friend over in Minnesota who will pick them up at my place Saturday. There were over 30 blue wheaten pullets to choose from. Wayne\'s inventory right now is standing at approximately 400 large fowl Ameraucanas for breeding stock and for sale. Besides blue wheaten, there is wheaten, splash wheaten, white, black, blue, splash, and buff. Anyone in need of birds right now would do well to contact Wayne - he is in the Breeders Directory. But shipping is high, especially so for large fowl.
