Happy Saint Pattys Day everyone

New Chick , I forgot to say Hello and Welcome


Iris, where do you live again? I'm sorry I don't remember.


Christina, what's the deal with the auction?

Had to put little Pearl down. Richard did. This part of owning chickens really sucks.

thanks queenchick16, I'm right on the CT/NY border so I usually lurk on the CT thread but really this thread might be more relevant for me. I hope I get to meet allot of you at the Gossetts' Chicken fest.

I'm sorry about little Pearl. That really IS the part of owning chickens that's heartbreaking. We get so attached.

So sorry about little pearl. It has been a rough year for that for you.

As to the auction, it is a huge field (acres in size) with everything from trailers and tractors to antique farm stuff and everything inbetween http://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/2030103.html It is a consignment auction.I think a lot of barns get cleaned out and put in that field. Mowers, sweepers, atvs, wagon wheels, toys, junk lots, last year i tried for an antique sewing machine that was still operational, they even auctioned off some livestock (two calves and sone chickens). I usually dont find anything to bid on, but it is always fun to go. I think every farm in 50 miles us there buying or selling. They do almist everything in lots though and they have multiple auctioneers going at a time (they just move from lot to lot). We usually go and then hit the little zoo down the road. This year i will have to decide between events...

Spring better get here soon though our i am going to keep putting on the pounds! I spent the day baking... White bread, rye bread, cinnamon rolls. Yum.

yummy jersey hen. I put on a few pounds this winter as well. Yesterday it felt great being outside working in the yard. We took down an old Dogwood to put in a Crepe Myrtle. Then putting in a Plum, peach and Apple. Queen chicken 16 I'm sorry for your loss. So sad. I live in Ridge. We are checking our calendar for April 12th if we can make it. I'm looking for a spinning wheel. I'll be getting wool from my friends two sheep in a few weeks.
Happy St Pats everyone. Just finished awesome Reubens and chocolate stout cupcakes.

Do we have other ways to contact them to be sure they are ok? I see Roberta on fb so I think she just had been busy as usual, but I don't know about suzanne, carolyn, or al.
