I'm about to head up there. I'll grab a couple of showgirl chicks--buff splasy, white and blue. I have a black back hanging around my neck, I"ll put a sign on it. I should be there from 9-10ish. Call me if nothing else, I live around the corner if you want to stop by and see all of them. 891-0359 Christy
 
I just left. If anyone wants anything from me, I just live around the corner from Bent Creek, you can always call or message me to come by.

While I was in there giving the owners some of the flyers, one of you were in there letting the lady know you appreciated the access to set up out there--THANK YOU!
 
I think we all got fried.... LOL. Some people were there but I think some were thinking it was next weekend. I sold some stuff in the morning... Thanks Sunshine for Cosmic Muffin ! Sorry we missed you guys... hope we see the regular crowd in Sept.

Thank goodness we brought our tent!!! There were some people there early but by about 10:00 it died down. Too darn hot!!! Congrats to the new silkie owners! Just glad I got my hubby to stay as long as he did in the heat!!!

Chickenzoo-Yes, Muffin is Cosmic's mother! Looks like you and featherbaby are "chick-in-laws" now! Thanks for the decal!!

Hope to see everyone soon!
 
Sorry I missed seeing most of you. My church service went overtime and several people stopped me to ask about my parents, so I didn't get there until close to 11:00. It was nice to see those I know, thanks for coming out even though it was sooooo hot! I'm working on inventing a personal air conditioner. You put it on and it goes wherever you do. It should be a huge hit. Only problem so far is getting a really long extension cord. HA! How are you all keeping your coops cool?

I think a social would be fun but definitely when it cools down some. I've only been in FL a couple years, lived in the southwest where it is really hot (like 120 this time of year) before lol.
I don't know when it cools down here I don't remember it getting very cool until Nov/Dec the last few years

OMG, it was soooo hot yesterday the poor chickens looked like they were gonna have a heatstroke. I had to run the misters on them. I have one FBCM broody girl who is sitting in that hot old coop. It is well ventilated and I leave the door open but geez it's still way too hot in there. I am gonna have to get a large cage and put her up on the covered patio or somewhere cooler if its gonna stay like this.

featherbaby you could make that personal air conditioner with a solar battery lol.

I have fans in my coops. I put electricity in both coops. It helps. One coop is has very good ventilation and the other coop has fair ventillation.
 
OK guys you have to join Alieda and me and buy the 2cool personal fans at Wally world. They are only 14.95 and believe it or not they are great. They give you over 60 hours of cool air with 8 D cell battieries or hook up to electric We got one to help cool off the chickens at the swaps but its great for yourself as well. I remember going to the August swap lat year and it was a killer heat wave I dont think it will cool off much before september I would hold off any social until then But a social would be nice. Bent Creek has had the same vendors for well over a year. It has a good following I hope it continues to grow.
