Well, we'll need to pick a house. I offered mine, but Squeaky seems like she has a bigger place than mine. Other options might arise soon, you never know... And we'll need to pick a time. I'm thinking mid-dday so folks who have to drive here can make it a day trip. And decide if we want to do a potluck gathering or other option. Once we get all these details together, we'll make a little notice/flyer that we can post online here and other local chicken sites. I think those are good next steps. We obviously have some time...
Best,
Maggie

Hi Maggie,
Well, I could go either way. It's your idea, so you get dibs on being the hostess.
I don't know that the *inside* of my house is any bigger, in fact I rent out two of the rooms to tenants who may well join us (and who can't cook: I'll cover their potluck contributions). Most of my indoor space is music studio which means there's space to set up chairs if it rains. Outdoors there's a good sized patio and back yard.
The major hitch in the plan might be my schedule. On Saturdays, I teach until about 1 PM so it would have to be a 2 PM-ish potluck; there's no way I can prepare a meal and also teach, and puttering around in the kitchen while I'm trying to teach isn't fair to the students. Sundays I'm more open schedule-wise.
Your call, Maggie: I'll be happy whichever you pick!
Cheers,
Squeaky

Hi,
My name is Ron. I live in Las Cruces, NM. I currently have 30 hens and 4 roosters. Most are cochins. Four of them are Mille Fleur. Six of them are Golden Seabrites, and four of them are Golden Dutch.
I also have Lovebirds, Parakeets, two neutered Dutch Rabbits, and my dog Rudi (Shiba Inu).
I was a regular at the old BYC for many years, yet I cannot ever recall meeting another member from NM. I am really surprised to see how many of us there are. I just figured New Mexicans did not hold the lowly chicken in any regards like others do; I stand corrected.
take care for now, Ron

Hi Ron, as you can see I'm in Chaparral, and we have another member up there in Mesilla too. Glad to see you.

Hi Ron, I'm from the Silver City area, but we are in LC quite a bit lately. Nice to "meet" you! There's a chicken lady up in Alamogordo who isn't on the computer enough to be on BYC, but she's got quite a few birds of every variety. Her name is Carol Callahan, you should look her up...
hi there... i'm in albuquerque, in the unm area!

A late afternoon potluck sounds like a winner to me.
As a newcomer to chickens, I would like to encourge old-hands and experts to prepare a few words on some topic(s) of interest. Anyone care to volunteer?
I'm also interested in a round-table discussion on local resources - where to find/buy/barter stff of interest to chickens and their keepers.
