When I decided to process mine I found an excellent video on YouTube. It was VERY informative and very well done. They went from start to finish in great detail. It was a huge help to me. I had to watch it 4 or 5 times and take notes. Believe me Daphne...once you cut the first one..work...
Rumor has it that within 2 years there will be 4 spring shows within the morning of show driving distance, 3 are supposed to be in places not an hour away from each other. That is going to be awesome for everyone in this area.
Had a blast today, didnt get to meet anyone from here, was getting pulled around by some of my club members all day (different east tn poultry club). The babies are alittle fussy but settling in well, already spoiled rotten. Got an absolutely amazing partridge silkie cockerel from Sandy who...
I didnt bath anyone this time, everyone will just be getting cleaned off before they are cooped in, I think they are thankful for this . Wayy to cold on my end to bath anyone, well only one duck is kinda dirty so hoping for the best and that they will look clean, didnt want to take a chance on...
Ill be there between 5 and 6am just live like less than 30 minutes away and only bringing 4 show birds, lot of sale birds and other stuff. I am also needing a RIR roo for my mom's flock if anyone has one, doesnt have to be show quality but she is sorta picky.

Danny1...a friend of mine is just getting ready to set some jap eggs this weekend. I can keep you posted if you are interested and the hatch goes well.
Can you post pics of the ones from your mixed color pen?
Thats fine, I know a few people in other states who have the nonstandard colors like brown reds and they are really neat. I go to out of state shows so I get to meet tons of other breeders that I wouldnt know otherwise, keep in mind some of the non standard color varieties are not as typey per...
If anyone is bringing a hen turkey pm me, our tom is getting lonely by himself. I think hes a Rio Grand breed but on turkeys Im just not that sure, any breed is fine he just needs company.

I will have to see those cracker jacks if you bring them, wont be able to get any because of starting a new japanese bantam flock, but they sound super cute.
Please do let me know when you have some started ones available, I prefer to buy locally or at shows rather than having birds shipped.

3 of mine are this years mallards and only one has been previously shown, and those drakes are jumpy, hopefully i can get them calmed down before then.
You can register by phone just call either angie or ruth. Thats how I register mine every show, I like doing that better than the possibilty of the entry getting lost in the mail or something
Speaking of other things you never really know what you will see, one time a couple years ago a lady had a bottle fed baby goat, super cute.
Does anyone else around raise Sebastopols? Im not bringing mine to the show because i think they are too young but would like to find others who raise...
