16 Hours!!! CHICKENSTOCK - Berks Co PA 7/18 **photos**

[Stina]

My husband and I *should* be able to make it...I requested the date off and my boss is usually very good about allowing us our requested days. We will probably have available a couple of serama chicks, possibly a snowy call duckling...as well as some artwork (not chicken related

) and possibly some animal supplements/probiotics. Will we need to bring our own table?

Would anyone be interested in leopard geckos or pet mice?......we need to downsize on the geckos and I have some young mice that are ready for new homes.

I would be interested in call/east indie ducks/ducklings (maybe...), and would REALLY love a buff laced polish frizzle bantam pullet/hen.....please please please if anyone has/will have one!......frizzle seramas too....

As for the supper part I could probably make some pulled pork or bbq chicken (not homegrown though...unless someone else wants to supply the meat) or something... I make a killer bbq sauce

I don't have a chaffing dish though...so if someone has one let me know....bbq is much better hot!

I have a couple tables, but if you're wanting to be able to display your art work, you should probably bring one or two.

My garage's second floor has been converted to a "hall". That is to say it's a 2 car-sized open space carpet and all so we will set up stuff in there. Plus we will be good in case of weather.

I, of course, have my kitchen to use as well as a decent sized grill. We can warm anything that needs to be warmed or hot for that matter.

So is this being held in Lebanon, Leesport, or Reading? Or none of the above?

I'm confused.

It's at the following address - 1474 blessing lane, reading, pa 19605.

I have a reading mailing address but I am actually in Bern township which is right next door to Leesport. The 4H center is literally 5 minutes from my house. We were originally talking Lebanon, but the place was too small and smack down town! The Leesport 4H building would be great but I don't have enough firm commitment to pay the rental fee. So we are gonna host it at out little farm.

It's easy to find, right off 222 near the airport and hospital.

Sarah you are about 55 miles from my sons house so I am pretty sure I can still make it. I just won't be bringing any chickens.........boyfriend talked me out of it.

I will be there, and I might have a few EE's and a White leghorn cockerel to bring along...

I am in search of frizzle polish - any age if anybody has them!

Debi,
Would love to have you...we're doing a covered dish/pot luck dinner. You're more than welcome to join as well. I've got drinks and the dump cake. Stina's talking BBQ.

For all of you western PA people who can't make the drive to this ChickenStock, there is a big swap meet in Uniontown the same weekend... on Sun. the 21st. I'll be there. Here's the link https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=195735

I really hope Im not stepping on any toes here

I hosted a Chickenstock here in WV earlier this Spring and it was a great time meeting everyone... Im just trying to suggest an alternative for those looking at a 4 hr. drive.
