I don't think the September one is going to have as big a turn out as the May one. I know a lot of people like myself can only really do one a year. Well, I guess there may a good turn out from local people not from the thread going, but I mean not as good a turn out from the thread. And I know...
We offered to have it on our end of the state, before Nutty offered, and no one seemed willing to travel to us.
Rancher, thanks for putting the Practical Poultry in the auction. I'm taking the Ayam Cemani issue to work with me today to read during slow times.
They lived with me for about two years before I lost them. Barcode for some reason attracted my guineas, which she was pretty darn weirded out about at first - when I put her in the run they just started following her everywhere, preening her face, etc, but eventually she grew to like them and...
I had a barred rock named Houdini who escaped from everything and scared me half to death by ruining my biosecurity. I rescued her and her sister off the side of the road on a rainy night, brought them home, put them in an uncompleted coop I was working on just to keep them from my other birds...
I'm definitely not going to make another one. It's fun, but one three and a half hour drive plus overnight stay is all I can do and really can afford to do a year. It would be nice if it would travel around a bit, since it's been in central NY two years in a row now. I hope everyone who can make...
For the person who won my cemani and cemani cross eggs in the auction, I can't remember who it was, but this is an example of what the crosses can look like:
Yikes! Glad you managed to catch him and he was okay! Nope, the legbars came home with me. Ah well, nothing wrong with having some nice blue egg layers around. Good luck with the eggs and keep me updated! I hope you hatch some pretty babies. My next batch is hatching on the 4th.
The brooders...
Just got in from our long drive! Metella and Baking are still on their way home, but I got the new cochin chicks settled in their brooder. Einstein and Witchypants are spending the night inside tonight because it's thunderstorming over here and I wasn't about to fuss with getting them in their...
I've just got the two that I held back for her. I'm bringing them so if she wants them she can have them, but if not I'll be looking to sell them so they don't come back with me, lol.
Okay all, me, Metella, and Baking are leaving today for Chickenstock since it's a long drive for us, so I'm posting here to make sure I'm bringing everything that everyone wanted. If I'm missing you, PLEASE let me know before one, since that's when we plan to be leaving.
D'uccle chicks for...
Pharm, I would be interested in a dozen silkie eggs if you are bringing them, your birds are stunning! I might enter Einstein and Witchypants in the show I'm taking my ducks to this year, just for fun and to see how they do.
Anyone want a pair of black australorps, about five or six weeks old? Since people are looking for them I'll probably bring them anyway but thought I'd see if I could get them presold. $15 and they are yours, or maybe a trade for something.
Well the olive egger chick is up for grabs again since baking bought meaties to keep her little guy company, so if anyone wants a nice barred olive egger that may be frizzle let me know :)
